Em
All we hear is them, us,

A
Em
They say poor might be
the new black,
Em
Race is just a new class,
C
I was told once how the
A
Kenyans, Jamaicans, Cubans,
Em
The Moors were a race fast,
that's tragic as Othello
Primitives used to view blackness
as of the devil
A
whiteness was of the devil
E
But through it all the same,
dynasties kept going
A
Em
And in my heart of hearts
C
Em
I feel for those who fought as hard
as they could against oligarchs
And it's time to be God
E
as far as watching things fall apart
But once Humpty Dumpty
E
A
What can we do about it?
Em
Well it's them, us, them,
us, them, us, them
A
Em
All we hear is, damn us,
damn us, damn us, damn

As the sun rises beyond the horizon

with your heavy eyelids
Em
E

I say, oh world, wake up world
E

Em
As the line drawn between two sides
A

Fades away, fades away

We realize

The side we choose
C#m
Nothing to separate us, no one to blame

All we hear is them, us,
them, us, them, us, them

All we hear is Why?

C#m
All we hear is
I inspected my hoodie
to see if it was Trayvon's. After a middle -aged,
Em
wealthy white man with a gun
told me what he was afraid of, me.
His response to the images he'd
seen on television screens
Em
was to take up arms to
protect his family
from lawless mobs of black kids.
Em
Take up arms like that FBI informant Richard Aoki
C
Em
told Huey Newton and Bobby Seale,
C#m
founders of the Black Panther Party.
Take up arms
Em
before you take this iconic photo
C
Em
But see, from that point on,
A
one point out of their ten -point program
Em
would forevermore define them.
Not freedom, not education,
not employment, not housing,
C
not free breakfast for kids,
Em
not even reparations, but arms.
And now we see them taking
up arms in Ferguson.
E
Heads held higher than heads
who right now looks like
every black or brown kid.
He certainly looks like me.
E
And I've debated, I've debated
A
Em
whether or not to blame my
C
Em
doppelgangers for every time
I was stopped by a cop who thought
C
C#m
I was a robber a gangbanger
Em
Apparently, I fit a description given
by a witness
E
A
who would prefer to remain nameless
Em
as I heard the same statement
We've had a disturbance
in the neighborhood.
I was a disturbance to the
Em
They supported the neighbors
I think it's from some neighboring
A
Em
Wonder why I cringe at the word
neighborhood watch
C
Em
when a flip of a switch
E
A
is all it takes for good cops to become
Em
Killer cops a good protester
to start screaming
Kill the cops, will it stop?
I say yes when I'm feeling optimistic
E
Cause opposition of opposition
is not a given
For some reason
A
Em
All we hear is them, us,
them, us, them, us, them
Hey

All we hear is them, us,
