lyrics

white flight, black night
neighborhood twilight
not a lot of yard space
just a lot of pure hate

welcome back home
hear the lock as you come
by his lexus
lets you feel trusted

closed down school grounds
you say "this place is built like a prison"

mlk meets kkk
at the circle k
on 28th with a k-bar
ok
oh and though a-rab
jesus christ
never held an ak

i swear i saw 60s riot violence
manifested in the silence
at a wal-mart check-out line
when she met him with her eyes oh yea

you may have asked
"mom, why do all the black kids
sit together in the cafeteria?
mom, why do all the white kids
live together in the richest areas?"

but yea i know it's bigger
than black and white
you know they say that all
are precious in his sight
well i think that's right

i seen him riding through the projects
on a shotty child’s bike
holding high a single lighter’s flame
and moving toward the suburbs

i don't own a gun cause i don't need one
i don't do drugs got enough in my coffee mug
you'll never catch me hating cause i keep it all hid
sure i've got some scars
from that time when i crashed my bike
