Black America Again (Feat. Stevie Wonder). [Intro]. *Alton Sterling Incident*. [Verse: Common]. Here we go here here we go again. Trayvon'll never get to be an older man. Black children they childhood stole from them. Robbed of our names and our language stole again. Who stole the soul from black folk?. Same man that stole the lamb from cheap black smoke. And made the whip crackle on our back slow. And made us go through the back door. And rap for black bodies on the slave blocks. Now we slave to the blocks on 'em we spray shots. Leaving our own to lay in a box. Black mother's stomachs stay in a knot. We kill each other it's part of the plot. I wish the hating will stop (war). And the battle with us. I know that black lives matter and they matter to us. These are the things we gotta discuss. The new plantation mass incarceration. Instead of educate they'd rather convict the kids. As dirty as the water in Flint the system is. Is it a felony or a misdemeanor. Maria Sharapova making more than Serena. It took Viola Davis to say this. The rose of the help and the gangsters. is really all they gave us. We need Avas Ta-Nehisis and Corey Bookers. The salt of the Earth to get us off of sugar. And greasy foods I don't believe the news. Or radio stereotypes we refuse. Brainwashed in the cycle to spin. We write our own story black America again. [Sample: James Brown]. You know you know you know. One way of solving a lot of problems we got. is to let a person feel like somebody. and a man can't get himself together. until he knows who he is. and be proud of what and who he is. and where he come from and where he come from. [Outro: Stevie Wonder]. We are rewriting the black American story. We are rewriting the black American story. We are rewriting the black American story. We are rewriting the black American story
