Verse 2 (Q-Tip)

I arise from out my linens to the sun beginning
Kiss by the ray of a sunny day
But I feel it in my bone, a child's without a home
A prison cell holds a dream to a black teen
I never thought I'd see the day when brothers pledge allegiance
To a red white and blue that's wavin' untrue
Yo, where's the forty acres and the mule, huh?
You rather give us Mickey D's and a tool, huh?
And in the sun I see the way you pull our hearts' strings
And in the sun I see your old way to new things
Every man has to bow down to God's grace
Every soul has to concede to God's goal
Politicians get religious to a starved people
As the constitution reads, it says I'm not equal
Three fifths of the gifts from a love supreme
This gotta be a bad dream, I'm hearing trains scream
Little kids are getting warped from computer thoughts
Family structure is destroyed, marriage null and void
Art has gotten formulaic, really hate to say it
But I can see it easy, really, in the sun
