Lyrics:
Here we are celebrating the month of Black History
Remembering those who fought against racism, injustice and absolute tyranny
That plagued this nation even before its revolutionary birth
These Americans fought oppressors who told them they had no worth
So we commemorate these Americans and we remember them greatly
Wait....we only remember them for one month, so we remember them faintly
See, this whole concept, this idea, it drives me so crazy
So, I'm gonna be straight up with you and be completely blunt
I don't give a DAMN about Black History Month
Now, before you take any offense, take a second to listen
Cause y'all are blinded to the truth while I'm seeing 20/20 vision
And sharing this truth is my mission, cause it's something you are missin
And these great Americans we are dissin
So I am here wishin that instead of dismissin what I have to say
Try to understand that celebrating American History for one month is just not the right way
Now notice I said American and I didn't say Black
Black History is American History, that is a fact
Black History is American History, that's the way to put it best
So, if they're the same thing, how come we treat it like it's less?
Do we not care or do we not have any respect
For Dr. King, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Malcolm X?
If we do care, then how come we don't treat them like the rest?
Like Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, and Lincoln
When Black History Month was created I wonder what those creators were thinkin
Cause it's racism at its finest, well actually its worst
It was made to make it appear as if we are truly diverse
See, they got your minds in a coffin and your thinking in reverse
So, I'mma get you thinking forward and pull your brain out the hearse
When Dr. King had a dream, it was heard all around
Now for only one day and one month do we bother to make a sound
About the words of his speech and the message he conveyed
Since we're so "diverse and equal", we've just let his message fade.
And there is no parade to greatly celebrate all his achievements
I guess the Giants Superbowl win just had more importance
They throw a ball and win a silly little game
These Americans fought to break free from their chains
Yet there is no outburst of appreciation for changing the ways that had been
Instead we get thousands of facebook statuses about the "Amazing" Jeremy Lin
If we do appreciate them how come we don't show it?
Instead of listening to their messages, we're listening to I'm Sexy and I Know It?
WHAT!?!
My whole point is that Black History Month is unlawful discrimination
Cause it's their message that matters, not their pigmentation
Their message was about equality and liberty, principles this country stands upon
And they had to fight for these rights, they weren't just handed 'em
Although they fought for their people's rights, it was about freedom for all
To knock down White Supremacist ideology and make sure it would fall
Now did we follow through or have we dropped the ball?
Let me bring it full circle and make my point clear
Start remembering their messages, not for one month, but for the entire year
Cause although it may appear as if we are diverse and equal
There is a great division between all of the people
So, next time Black History Month comes around, tell people it's racism
And those great Americans we are honoring, it's a complete disgrace to them
