Текст песни
If only my white brothers and sisters could see
You been hoodwinked same as me
Fed that poison through a silver spoon
Now we both starvin' under the same old moon
They told you I was comin' for what you earned
While your own house quietly burned
Made you guard the gate while they robbed us blind
Left us both chained, just a different kind
Oh, open your eyes, can't you see
Ain't no war ‘tween you and me
It's the ones on top, pullin' all the strings
Sellin' us fear while they buy our dreams
They made you think helpin' the poor was a sin
But they takin' your taxes, laughin' within
Told you welfare was for them others' hands
While they buildin' empires off our lands
They pit us like dogs in a ring of smoke
While they sip fine wine and watch us choke
If you only knew what the mirror could show
We both bleedin', just different tones
They whisper country takers
Border breakers
Lazy makers
But the real heartbreakers
Are the ones who built the rules
To keep us fools fightin' in schools
Churches, jobs, and lines
Blind to the ties that bind
Open your eyes, can't you see
We both fightin' for the same damn dream
It ain't white or Black or brown or blue
It's the power few that's foolin' you
So, my brother, my sister, if you still believe
I ain't your enemy, just tryin' to breathe
You can call me whatever you please
But I still pray one day
You'll see what I see
