  Ain't it nsane?
  Ova 400yrs
  We were shackled with chains
  Beat with whips
  And by the rope, we were hung
  Still we kept our hope
  Men & women, old & young

  Isn't it amazing?
  Thru all that [bull shit]
  We still managed 2 survive
  We got smart & learned how 2 stay alive
  N our hearts was faith & pride
  Now we walk with a new kool stride
  But slavery...
  Slavery is still 1 baaaad ride

  Now we can think & do 4 ourselves.
  So I think, what we should do is
  Take those same chains & whips
  And flip the script.
  On 2nd thought, nope
  U c, I hope
  4 all races
  That mess is
  N the past
  It feels good 2 echo the ol' negro spiritual
  Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty,
  we r free at last!
