 A black manIn the white house
 Over 1 million jailed
 By corporate America
 Land of the free
 A black man
 In the white house
 Over 2 million labeled felon
 Incarcerated by the crippling shackles
 Of the new slavery
 The new Jim Crow
 But tell me it's not happening
 Tell me it's not so
 Tell me it's not happening
 Oh Jesus no
 A people chained
 Their dignity maimed
 By the collateral consequence of white indifference
 But what matters collateral
 What collateral settles the score?
 Collateral is the very essence of our war
 A war on drugs
 A war on terror
 For or against
 Against or for
 Oh, then
 I am resolutely against
 For this is the white wash
 The hemlock filled chalice
 Of consummate malice
 White, the iniquitous story
 White, the color of old glory
 White, the color of democracy
 White, the color of devast
 The black man, in the white house
 But what strange fruits
 What blood on the roots
 But here, a people
 Once torn from their Eden
 Now be stripped of their flesh
 Becoming invisible
 Disappeared
 Through the cowards expedience
 Of color-blindness
 And there
 But for the grace of god
 Whose face is painted white
 Go I
 Go you
 Go we
 The devilry lies in race
 The insidious deceit
 Of culture
 God bless America
