Dark black night
White men rage
They dream of killing me
(Sister, protect yourself
Brother, protect yourself)
Gotta learn to protect yourself
(Learn to protect yourself)
Did you think it'd last forever?
(Lies fall apart)
Did you think it'd last forever?
(Lies fall apart)
Don't, don't, don't be made bitter by pride
Did you think it'd last forever?
Forever
Haven't you flown?
Haven't you felt all my gladness?
Haven't you flown?
Heaven forbid there is flatness
