Git Proud

Listen up because I bear the news

And I do my best to counterfeit some blues

Or better yet just rearrange some truths

I'll tell you what you need to know I choose

Perfection hides inside a diamond ring

But if it don't shine then I don't need to sing

When it does, well that's the word I bring

Pay no mind if it don't mean a thing

But I see fire and a hard ring starts to fall

And humpty dumpty is climbing higher up the wall

How he got there I just won't recall

No I don't smell nothing strange

All is clean, it's got no stains

Streets are clean while he points the blame

Stricts are new but the bags the same

Time to play that freedom game so just git proud

So hear this because I am the word

Well, I'm the circus act and you're the herd

But if my remedies seem too absurd

You never notice what you never heard

'Cause I can show you how to kill your time

And I can tell you where to spend your dime

And I can weatherman you when it shines

Just listen up and you'll do fine

But I see fire and the heavens leave the sky

And humpty dumpty told me not to tell you why

As if I even had reason to try

So here's a tip from me to you

Fear your neighbor 'cause he fears you

You best act white or he'll tell on you

Freedom rings but not for you

If you don't know what to do then just git proud

There was a protest just the other day

A crowd of hoodlums in disarray

Shaking fists every which way

I can't believe they die their hair that way

What they were asking for I won't recall

Some kind of anarchy, the worst of all

Thank god for us they couldn't pass the wall

Big Brother was there standing tall

But I see fire and the roof comes tumbling down

And humpty dumpty got a new star spangled crown

He picks a fight and he twirls his guns around

But all his horses and all his men

Must be good 'cause good must win

But don't you doubt a thing my friend

Just grab your flag and jump right in

You're either with us or your them so you best git proud
