[Papa Joe]
And I just can't get the feelin' outta me 'cause it's always...
Ya know... It's flowin' through my veins
That's what I feel
[minister]
...in slavery, that was the good old days...
Yeah but don't try that today
But they are trying it in a different way
They're too intelligent to just put you in slavery... I'll get to that later
The Confederate flag is a symbol of the old South- That's history
That's American history
They're not gon' destroy that
[Papa Joe]
That's what I feel
[minister]
… 'cause we suffered under that flag
That's a part of the history of this nation
Some of the folks say, “We should take Robert E. Lee's picture down,”for what?
For what?
He was a genеral
That's history
And he fought Ulysses S. Grant who beliеved in the old way of the old South in the new North
...Of the old South...
...Who believed in the old way... They not gon' destroy that
[poet]
AND I, BELIEVE!
I believe like a holy roller
Singing sweating preaching “Go Tell It On The Mountain”
While speaking in twenty different tongues and diving
In ten thousand feet of baptismal water
Without a life preserver
I believe like my bullet-ridden brother
Out there somewhere right now gurgling blood through his last breath spitting out a red bright
Prayer so new, so sweet, so baby fresh
So full of truth he thinks he can save his life
God does not exist in desperation
And Hope is lying dead
Somewhere in the sewer down the street around the corner in the alley underneath the feet of
Somebody itching, scratching, trembling JONESIN' for that next hit and suckin' somebody's
Dick!
I got two minutes y'all
I got 2 motherfuckin minutes before I run free or die, y'all!
Two minutes...
Before I, smash my face into the grill of a Mack truck
Before I get, ten thousand bricks shoved up my ass
Before I, run free or die
And I just can't get the feelin' outta me 'cause it's always...
Ya know... It's flowin' through my veins
That's what I feel
