Reparations

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Grandaddy was a farmer With skin as dark as night, he picked the cotton My granny was a teacher With European features Skin was lighter And they had worry, worry, worry for their portion Ain't have no money, money, money for their toiling [Pre-Chorus] But I've got one hand on the cross and the Bible Devil comes like a thief when you're idle Take the land, take the man, take the title Mmm [Chorus] Reparations I ain't talking 'bout no dollar Reparations Damn, my people want their power Reparations When I'm gone don't give me flowers Reparations When you know what's yours is ours Ooh [Verse 2] My people want no favors They ain't asking for no handouts from my neighbors Don't need no conversation Just proper compensation for our labors Hey, hey, hey [Pre-Chorus] But I've got one hand on the cross and the Bible Devil comes like a thief when you're idle Take the land, take the man, take the title Mmm [Chorus] Reparations I ain't talking 'bout no dollar Reparations Damn, my people want their power Reparations When I'm gone don't give me flowers Reparations When you know what's yours is ours Reperations [Outro] Oh, is this fair, is this fair, is this fair, is this fair? (Reperations) Oh, is this fair, is this fair, is this fair, is this fair? (Reperations) Oh, is this fair, is this fair, is this fair, is this fair? (Reperations) Oh, is this fair, is this fair, is this fair, is this fair? (Reperations) Yeah, yeah, yeah
