"Stuck Between A Rock And A White Face" lyrics

"Stuck Between A Rock And A White Face"

Black Jesus, white Jesus, Jesus where do I begin?
Sons of former slaves, former slave owner's, at the table king
Fomer cave owner's, gene donors, that's my thing
Baa baa black sheep, what I can, cannot sing
How did it ever get to this, vicious circle, circus ring
Circumstance has me defending my skin
On ice where the ice is thin
What have we become, why have we become numb?
Colour just a cover, uncover, discover within

Stay back, stay back, stay down
Stay back, stay back, stay down
Stay back, stay back, stay down
Peace is our policy, for peace we're bound!

Stay back, stay back, stay down
Stay back, stay back, stay down
Stay back, stay back, stay down
Peace is our policy, for peace we're bound!

Black Jesus, white Jesus, Jesus when do you step in?
Sons of fomer slaves, voters, home owner's
At their tables, King
On their cables, TV screens, cam captured everything
All across the globe shocked, racial tensions rocked
April 29. 92 white jury hits the spot
Black fury loaded, exploded like a gun shot
Left a message that must never be forgot
For a front seat on the bus, how high the cost?
Bellies turned, cities burned
Anger justified, vindicated why, indignation, pride
Constitution lied, someone's gotta pay, fifty eight die
Two wrongs, no light, case of black against the wall
And I ain't going down without a fight

Stay back, stay back, stay down
Stay back, stay back, stay down
Stay back, stay back, stay down
Peace is our policy, for peace we're bound!

Stay back, stay back, stay down
Stay back, stay back, stay down
Stay back, stay back, stay down
Peace is our policy, for peace we're bound!

Just about ready for this!
This!
Just about ready for

Take your time, you got all the time you need
Criticize, first pick up the page and read
Justified, ya better believe
I am not your enemy, so no apologies please

Peace is our policy, peace is our policy
Peace is our policy, peace is our policy
Peace is our policy, peace is our policy
Peace is our policy, for peace we're bound!

This!
Just about ready for, this!
This!
Just about ready for, this!
Just about ready for, this!
Just about ready for, this!
