"Holy Ground" lyrics

"Holy Ground"

Her daddy drives a black Range Rover
They're living on the nice side of town
Parks it in the shade on Sunday
So it's cool when church gets out

And he says it's holy ground
But what makes it holy now?

Her momma left her daddy for more money
Living in the new Country Club
Meets up with the girls on Mondays
To hear all the neighborhood buzz

And she says it's holy ground
But what makes it holy now?
They say it's holy ground
But what makes it holy now?

Her brother's got a game this Friday
Playing the team from "the hood"
He says, "if they don't stand for the anthem
He's gonna "take off that quarterback's head"

Coach says it's holy ground
But what makes it holy now?
They say it's holy ground
But what makes it holy now?

There's protests on the tv station
They shot another black man down
And she watches as it turns her daddy's face red
And covers her ears as they began to shout

This country's holy ground
Holy ground
But just what makes it holy now?
