[Chorus - Lupe Fiasco] You will never know, what you could ever be If you never try, you will never see Stayed in Africa, we ain't never leave So there were no slaves, in our history (All black every-thing ...) Were no slave ships, or no misery Call me crazy, or isn't he? See I fell asleep and I had a dream It was all black, everything (All black, all black, every-thing ...) [Verse 1 - Lupe Fiasco] Uh, and we ain't get exploited White man ain't fear it, so he did not destroy it We ain't work for free, see they had to employ it Built it up together, so we equally appointed First 400 years, see we actually enjoyed it Constitution written by the W.E.B. Du Bois Were no reconstructions, Civil War got avoided Little black Sambo grows up to be a lawyer "Extra, extra" on the newsstands Black woman voted head of Ku Klux Klan Malcolm Little dies as an old man Martin Luther King read the eulogy for him Followed by Bill O'Reilly, who read from the Qur'an President Bush sends condolences from Iran Where, FOX News reports live That Ahmadinejad wins the Mandela Peace Prize (All black every-thing ...) [Chorus] [Verse 2 - Lupe Fiasco] Uh, and it ain't no projects Keepin it real's not an understood concept Yeah, complexion's not a contest 'Cause, racism has no context Hip-hop ain't got a section called conscious Everybody rappin like crack never happened Crips never occurred, no Bloods to attack then Matter of fact, no hood to attack in Somalia's a great place to relax in Fred Astaire was the first to do a backspin The Rat Pack was a cool group of black men That inspired five white guys called The Jackson's Eminem fitted in But then again he inspired a black rapper tryin to mimic him And that's what really rose up out of Michigan Then sign a white rapper by the name of 50 Cent (ha!) (All black every-thing ...) [Chorus] [Verse 3 - Lupe Fiasco] Uh, and I know it's just a fantasy I cordially invite you to ask, why can't it be? Now we can't do nothin about the past But we can do somethin about the future that we have We can make it fast or we can make it last Every woman Queen and every man a King and When those colored lines come, we can't see between We just close our eyes 'til it's all black every-thing (All black every-thing ...) [Chorus] - w/ ad libs until the end
