Being Black, Brown, Native, Arab, and Jew
The Total Eclipse is nothing new.
You see darkness during daytime?
Whoop-de-doo, for us it’s the same time
Pretty soon you’ll see Batman bustin’ a cop
But he can’t stop those at the top
Committin’ the same crime
Cheatin’ us out of change, count it and die
That’s the cost when we look ‘em straight in the eye
Being blinded by racism you can’t afford
Our sons steadily shadowed in several stores
Our daughters raped by masters, the Klan, cops, then ignored
And in the very same breath they callin’ them whores
The Total Eclipse is fun for you, but the rest of us bored.
