NO longer will I pay the price

For years you've made me pay the price
All the things that were done these past 200 years
Watching with my face full of tears
Can't you understand there was and is a greater plan

I didn't pick up a whip
Didn't rape your wifes
No one's husband did I steal
Watch as your babies were killed

No no can't you understand
No longer will I pay the price
I have not drugged a soul
Put anyone in a six feet hole

What was done back then was worse than wrong
But please tell me just how long
Will it take before we all open up our eyes
It's not just the white man doing it any more

What's happening I can not tolerate
See six black babies I have suckled
Now four awesome men
Two beautiful ladies

Can't you understand we must unite to win
You punishing me because of my skin
Is what you say I deserve
Because I'm white you say

I have it made
Is what seems to ring
In my ears as my babies they try to drag away
God gave them to me his way

Now as I watch the news seeing many
I helped to raise fall to the ground
In the prison walls bound
My cries go up loud and clear

When will someone hear
Just a little ole white lady
Wants a true MLK dream
When will our babies truly

Be united............
Under one nation
DO you not see
Backwards seems to be

The path we are on
Open your eyes I beg you please
All black schools are on the rise
On the lie of we need our own

We won the fight was the call
But I seem to recall
Just last week a child telling a teacher
Get the f**k out of my face

Just because over her classroom she looked
Now I remember a day
We thought it was great to set in school
Now it's again'st the cool rule

I know I was cursed with this skin
But when will it all end
And our babies truly be free
No longer will I pay the price

God forgave us all
Now when will we
His son paid the price just letting you know
No longer will I pay the price.
