Symbols of injustice and hatred
Confederate flag (bring it down)
Symbols of human enslavement
Confederate flag (bring it down)
But what about the red, white and the blue
American flag (bring it down)
Racists flew that flag when they captured you
American flag

I ain't here for selling shit
Me I came for telling it
I tell it like it is
So my people stay intelligent we ending it
Racism, slavery, we ending it
This is why we bringing down
The flag of the confederate
I share the same sentiment: Slavery is bad
But slavery was established by
The American flag follow me
The American flag it flew in every colony
To break down the confederate
Only ia a hypocrisy
You bringing down one flag
To raise up another
When both flags ensalved my
Sisters and my brothers
Yea man there were others
African, french, the portuguese
The english, the spanish
Enslavers for all of these
So why raise any flag that killed
My mom and my dad
Invaded my lands with plans to take
Up all that they had i'm glad
The confederate flag is banned today
But the American flag is still
Flown by the KKK

Symbols of injustice and hatred
Confederate flag (you gots to bring it down)
Symbols of human enslavement
Confederate flag (you gots to bring it down)
But what about the red, white and the blue
American flag (you gots to bring it down)
Racists flew that flag when they captured you
American flag

KRS, the right teacha
In the street I might see ya
Under the American flag blacks
Had no rights either
Women had no rights either
Natives had no rights either
White abolitionist had to fight
Against white preacher
Red, white and blue should mean red
White and black blue was our indigo color
Coming from way back
But the system is racist
When the murderers are acquitted
So we ride in the streets
Then you say we shouldn't have did it
"they destroying their cty"
Man you don't get it
If this was my city I wouldn't
Be getting shot in it
Stopped in it, harressed
Unemployed and always locked in it
While the guns, the polution and drugs are
Always trapped in it
Turn the tv off man, don't listen to all that
You a global citizen
You got to know all the facts
You a global citizen
You got to know how to act ask yourself
What does the American flag mean to Iraq?
