Lyrics
Buried kin in rocky ground Shallow grave, how sweet the sound Amazing grace, first bus out of town Lie boldfaced when the man come around They got enough work if you can't find it Broad negros work like Caribbean island Old heads smiling, like Woods you wildin' Mayhap, slept in the shelter with the wave cap Scoured the shower with Ajax A man's own pride will bait traps Gnawed the limb, fled like rats f*ck outta here with them late raps Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Rain sluices off trees, dried the wet leaves heavy foot Ride it out branches the cancer advances captain hook Listening for that crocodile Same dark wood he knew as a child Fear of the forest Entitled white girl tasted all the porridge More the poorer for it World on fire, but he wouldn't piss on it Eyes burnished onyx They gave us special glasses to watch the comet I can still feel that African sun It wasn't just us, the whole country was young Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Born yesterday, but we stayed up all night Outside lie dark turned fields, with rags of snow and darker woods beyond that harbor yet a few last wolves. A solitary migrant upon that flat and pastoral landscape. Blacks in the fields lank and stooped, their fingers spider-like among the bowls of cotton. The shadowed agony in the garden
