They don't deserve us!
Supreme beings levitating floating above the hate
Spitting vile words vomited out of the mouths
of southern belles and southern gentlemen..
Beings stronger than thrown rocks, hemp ropes
lynch parties...
Picnics, Pick a Nigg#r
They don't deserve us!
Tarnished halos crown sanctified bodyguards
Step in front of bullets intended for us
Sanctified bodyguard Minnie Brown
prepared ground for our precarious path
adding coffee to cream at Central High, Little Rock, Arkansas
Sanctified bodyguard with no one to guard her body
Sacrificial lamb handed over to the man, she took her stand
When negros sit in, dying, trying to fit in.
Know your place when you have none
Find your place when you have one...
Home is across the water...
Home is across the water...
