| [Verse 1: Demun Jones] | |
| I ain't much on history, I can't go back and change a thing | |
| My great great granddaddy was a rebel, some think I should be ashamed | |
| But he was seventeen when he volunteered and fought right down 'til the end | |
| If he ain't survived the whole damn thing, I never woulda met my friends | |
| I never woulda met my lady, I never woulda had my girls | |
| I never woulda seen Jones County, I never coulda rocked this world | |
| So I'll be screamin' every tension I'd a hate, you can point your fingers at me | |
| But I'll keep doin' God's work in this world, just watch me if you don't believe | |
| Regardless of the history, just watch me if you don't believe | |
| [Verse 2: Upchurch] | |
| Scared color wouldn't exist if the world was blind | |
| We would live off the words like this song is full of lines | |
| Our vocabulary wouldn't be filled with hatred and hearsay | |
| But the television has pull on the things that we all say | |
| Yeah, I'm tattooed with the heritage of my family before me | |
| But the negative parts of history does not make me important | |
| I ain't got no type of privilege another man can't have | |
| I get searched the same as a felon 'cause the ink on my hands | |
| But if I get pulled over with some marijuana on me | |
| And the man who arrests me takes me way down to the county | |
| I still ain't gonna hate him, he's got a family to feed | |
| And probably a wife to hold, when he lays down to sleep | |
| Uh | |
| [Verse 3: Demun Jones] | |
| I ain't much on history, I can't unsee the things I saw | |
| But them boys was my brothers when we were little just playin' ball | |
| I never thought twice about where they was from or what the color was of their skin | |
| I just wanted to hear when I got up to bat so our team could win | |
| And our team could win, our team could win | |
| [Outro: Upchurch] | |
| It might be time for a conversation | |
| So we can work out our differences and understand each other | |
| So we can love each other, like God intended us to | |
| We're brothers in flesh and spirit | |
| So don't let your sight be altered by hatred and television ratings | |
| Love you guys |
