Ana & Barry Lyrics by Ryan Art

LiveFi.01 / Living in the 21st Century Through the Past for the Future

2020

[Verse 1 - Morgan Freeman, quoting John Lewis]
You must also study and learn the lessons of history
Because humanity has been involved in this soul-wrenching, existential struggle for a very long time
People on every continent have stood in your shoes
Through decades and centuries before you
The truth does not change
The truth does not change
The truth does not change
The truth does not change
And that is why the answers worked out long ago can help you find solutions to the challenges of our time
[Hook]
[Verse 2 - Killer Mike]
The cliff note version, um
Basically says the negro race is not of the same caliber
Or shared equality with the white race
And that it was the natural order of God that we be subordinated to slavery
It said the cornerstone - Alexander Stephens said that we have the innate right to enslave this race of people based on the natural order of God
And then he said this is THE CORNERSTONE of the CONFEDERACY
This is not the second brick, the third brick, the fourth brick
This is the cornerstone brick of which the foundation would be built on
And he acknowledged that our constitution…may the people
I didn’t want to come
And I don’t want to be here
But here we are, 80 years later
I watched a white officer assassinate a black man
And I know it tour your heart out
And I know it’s crippling
And I have nothing positive to say in this moment…
‘Cause I don’t want to be here
[Hook]
