    History Lesson
    Bodies hanging from trees in the south
    Was it because a blackman opened his mouth?
    To protest a deal that wasn't right
    Our ancestors endured a horrible plight
    Being strapped to a horse, bodies ripped apart
    We are a peaceful people, we have alot of heart
    Some people sit around and accept anything
    While others get out and protest everything
    This is the era that I am from
    I will continue to seek justice until my life is done
    What is the biggest crime that our people committed?
    Whiping there asses after their masters shitted
    Yeah, they treated them like animals, dogs and cats
    Check your history peple, this is all fact
    The Master made our women their bed maids
    Having a mixed baby was how they were paid
    Using our strong men for their scientific project
    our women were infected through unprotected sex
    now....Is the time to read up and learn
    Cause I'll keep on writing cause I am concerned
    I am a rebel and this I am confessing
    I hope you enjoyed this "History Lesson"
