The Elaine Arkansas massacre
September 30- October 1, 1919
This is lost history being considered a past time name sake?
I am hear to settle the truth!
But first understand a century of false lies
They said a couple of hundred Blacks died?
I say this is false information more like 800 died?
How could a small group of people kill everyone that exist in a small town next to an abyss
Must have been something I missed?
I\'ve seen photos of Blacks laying in a grave style ditch
There were only a hand full of whites that were killed that day?
But there were a whole world of Black farmers
That lived hear years before being slaughtered like steer!
What we can\'t say is un-justified has always been ruled fair
Would it be fair game if we killed someone who looks like you because of greed?
Was we thinking deeper deployment?
We strategically killed you because of your creed
I\'ve seen all the photos that hung someone that looks like me?
It looked a lot like me dead swinging from a nut tree
It looked like I was shoot in the head?
They hated me?
We could see just fine
We were tired of you taking advantage of us po\' folk
You thought we all were blind!
You thought us po\' folk couldn\'t read?
But we knew all the time you were robbing us of our dignity
To the point we would do anything to survive!
We had to think of killing you first?
We were already dead inside the Black Hurst
What could fucken be any worst?
We had nothing else to lose
We were deeply sadden by the Mississippi blues
We just wanted to be treated like humans?
We people to we care what you do we know its not fair
But what the hell you care?
We all went crazy?
Like we had lost our minds
But we are not going to be treated un-fairly not one more damn time!
We are prepared to die today if this means we are free?
We want all the false lies to stay buried inside that hollow grave
The one that lays aside a 100 year old slave
