Let’s not take our country back
Move forward, if you please
It makes me wonder back to what
Each time I hear those pleas
Back to segregation
In our lives and in our schools
Or maybe back to slavery
Please clarify, you fools
Back to the old plantations
Where everything was right
And life was just a banquet
If you were male or white
Back when women could not vote
And stood behind their man
And men ruled with an iron fist
Is that part of your plan
We’re supposed to be evolving
Yet you want us to go back
But progress must move forward
To keep us all on track
So, open up your minds
And let the wind blow out the dust
Remember tools that you don’t use
Will always turn to rust
Don’t just stand there looking stupid
Use your head. Pick up the pace
Come with us to the promised land
And join the human race
