THE DNA WARP (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid)
I HAD A TALK WITH MY ANCESTORS
THROUGH A DNA WARP QUITE VAST
THEY SAID NO MATTER WHAT
TO NEVER LET THEIR MEMORIES BE BURIED IN THE PAST
THEY TOLD ME TO REMEMBER THEM ALWAYS
LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS WHO LIVED IN THOSE TIMES
YOU BUILD MONUMENTS YOUR ANCESTORS
MONUMENTS WE’LL BUILD TO MINE
THEY SAID THEY MUST GET JUSTICE
ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOW GONE
YOU WANT WHITES TO HAVE FIRST CLASS “REMEMBERSHIP”
BUT THEIR MEMORIES YOU WANT MOVED ON
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND EQUALITY
YOU WANT MY HISTORY HIDDEN IN THE BACKGROUND
AND YOUR HISTORY THOUGHT OF ETERNALLY
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT A DOLLAR BILL
A NICKEL, QUARTER OR A DIME
I SEE YOUR ANCESTORS LOOKING AT ME
STOP COMPLAINING WHEN I TALK ABOUT MINE
THEY SAID YOU’D COME UP WITH SOME LAME EXCUSES
TO PUT US ON THE DEFENSE
AS YOU CELEBRATE WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
CAUSE YOUR ANCESTORS YOU REFUSE TO FORGET
BUT WE SEE THIS REALITY DAILY
WE FEEL PRIDE INSTEAD OF REGRET
BECAUSE WE CELEBRATE OUR ANCESTORS REVERENTLY
OUR ANCESTORS WE’LL NEVER FORGET!
I HAD A TALK WITH MY ANCESTORS
THROUGH MY DNA, WHICH IS REALLY THEM, RECAST
THEY SAID NO MATTER WHAT
LET THEM BE REMEMBERED, LONGER THAN TIME WILL LAST
