Rosa Parks

Lyrics

{Verse 1} She was honored first lady of the civil rights movement Invigorating the struggle for racial equality This is evolution, raising my flag, calling it a revolution Look at America, look at social equality Arrested on December, 1st 1955 Launching the early Montgomery bus boycott Five more years now if she was still around would've been, one hundred and fifteen Old Polaroid pictures in my mind, look at the cases shot The mother of the freedom movement Married to Raymond Parkers that died on 1977, who spent his childhood curing ill family members Living life everyday, going for the ease of movement Here's my voice for ya'll to hear, hear my voice tremble My Higher Search and Education Going for my golden plate awards Searching for my own self, seeing the world's own population World's so beautiful, hearing the chirps of the birds Attended the private school owned by Alice White Her family moving to Alabama, Pine Level News coming on TV, Connecting all through satellites Look at me through eye level Mom was a teacher Dad was a carpenter I'm flipping through life like a open book, going through the procedures What's behind the dark curtains Her and her husband both in the league of women voters That was the past, December 1943 We keep going down this road like motorcycle motors Going degree by degree She was segregated Discrimination and activism Clean-Shaven Ya'll do this stuff for the private property, price system, call it capitalism
