Georgia Anne Muldrow - Keep It Real? lyrics

If I took away your language and your drum and taught you to be ashamed of where you come from tell me now, how would you feel? how would you feel? If I locked you up for a 100 years or more sold your children off like candy in a store Come on now lets keep it real lets keep it real If I made fun of your accent when you talk but in the video your dialect I caught Come on now lets keep it real lets keep it real If I pat you on your head like you're a pet (“you're the most beautiful black woman I've ever seen”) Then I get surprised when you get all upset come on now how would you feel? how would you feel? If I told you now that my best friend is black (“Tyrone is my homeboy”) see would you trust me more than you did 2 seconds back? Come on now Lets keep it real. Please keep it real. I forgive all of your ignorance of this. but my forgiveness does not let you off the hook “Reparations” is the next song on my list.
