oh tell me
\nplease mama
\nwhat ever happened
\nto Barack Obama?
\nthey said he was
\nso hated
\ncuz he’d see us
\nliberated
\nwell there’s still no money
\nin your purse
\nand since he was in office
\nthings got worse
\nthe racists are more
\nfirmly in control
\nin fact they’ve gotten even
\nmore bold
\ntruth be told
\nthey don’t even pretend
\nto like us no more
\nand now send
\neverybody who’s got
\ndark skin
\nacross the border
\nwho even thinks of coming in
\nit doesn’t matter
\nwhether legally
\nor not
\nif not caught
\nthey’re liable
\nto be shot
\nby white militias
\nor the border patrol
\ncan’t tell which is which
\nif the truth be told
\nI mean he set the
\nrecord for deportations
\nand increased
\npoverty and inflation
\nand here’s something
\nI’ve gotta mention
\nthere are now more
\npolice lynchings
\nused to be called
\njustifiable homicide
\nthey don’t even bother now tryna
\njustify it
\nit’s a return
\nto generations past
\nthe new Jim Crow
\nthe dye is cast
\nand they’re rolling back
\ncivil rights
\nclaiming
\nit discriminates against whites
\nand the democrats are
\nquiet as a mouse
\nwhile a Nazi sits
\nin the white house
\nactually it’s all
\njust a game
\ndemocrat or republican
\nare both the same
\nevery few years
\nadministrations may switch
\nthey all work for
\nand serve the rich
\nbut we still
\nain’t learned the lesson
\ndark faces in high places
\njust window dressing
\nhe gave us a temporary
\nhigh like dope
\nwith his lies
\nabout creating hope
\nhe ain’t do shit
\nfor me or you
\nlike Uncle Toms
\nis something new
\nhe claimed racism
\nwas no longer around
\neven after they lynched
\nMike Brown
\nleft Black folks in
\na much worse place
\na house nigga
