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 

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
