letra de this is us - reef the lost cauze

[intro: mario savio 12/2/1964]
“there’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part! you can’t even passively take part! and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop! and you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!”

[reef the lost cauze]
yeah, we gotta do better man
for our kids and our kids’ kids
c’mon

[verse 1]
look, i heard we out here building walls now
well my momma raised me to tear walls down
black and proud, i sing that song so loud
my hair of wool, dark brows and broad smiles
see these bigots get on tv and talk loud
talk about what america was, but this is what it is now
a beautiful gumbo is what life’s about
how you gonna have gumbo but take the spices out?
man, y’all need to bite your tongue, and slice your mouth
or we can go to the streets and fight it out
look, i see your color, you in the dark like the lights is out
you wanna take a nation’s history and just white it out
nah, boy, we won’t let you
claiming you built this place, like we didn’t help you
never forget, sh-t i never forgot
this is our home too, the bullsh-t has to stop
[interlude]
aww, remember me? the old black man that use to show up on rap records in the 90s and say something deep and profound? well reef brought me back to tell you that love is beautiful, love is power, love is passion

[verse 2]
this is us, and i don’t give a d-mn about your color man
this is us, if you in the struggle with me, you my brother then
this is us, white bols, ricans and the brotha mans
asians, indians, you muslim, or you son of man
this is us, i don’t care who you pray with
this is us, straight or g-y i don’t care who you lay with
this is us, you hate hate, then yeah we on the same sh-t
and that’s all that matters and they ain’t gonna change it
i wonder why you hate me so much, yo
when i never did nothing but show love though
put drugs in the hood but blame us for the drugs though
sometimes i wonder if you k!ll the devil is it just so
turn the other cheek, that ain’t us bro
don’t let your president get you hit wit the snub nose
racist pigs and people who screaming f-ck those
but i ain’t worried about them though
’cause this is us though
