Hey Blackie
Hey Blackie! Here's your victory
Does desegregation make you happy?
Finally a change has come. But it's gonna come with a price.
We gon make sure you Blackies think twice.
Imagine...
You can come here
Well, because we have to let you.
But Our teachers don't have to teach You
The buses don't have to bus You,
You can pay for a taxi or You can walk your Black legs.
And your nappy Black-hair covered nappy Black head
Will see just how good my aim is with these apples so red
Blood shed
Blood shed
We'll be waiting for you
Every single day
To antagonize you, taunt you,
Tease, laugh, and haunt you.
You'll get hit on, you'll get spit on
Listen, We don't want you here
But they said we had to let you in.
I see you with your strong arms carrying those torn books
I see your straight face as if you are ignoring our ignorance
I see your perseverance to get your education.
I see your resilience to go through
Your secret meetings you hold, we should call you hiders
Learning how to handle the fight from The Freedom Riders
But 50 years from now, our descendants won't even know what occurred
These sacrifices you're making, will barely be heard
Well here's the victory you guys are so desperately asking for.
Are you willing to pay the price?
A small token, or maybe it'll cost your life
