America Goddam: Reimagined Naimah Thomas
America Goddam! I mean every word of it While America continues to make a show of it With your pale skin, always devoid of melanin America’s gotten bold with it America’s losing control of it Everybody knows it’s America’s undoing goddam Can’t you see it Can you feel it It’s in the air…the virus is in the air We can’t stand for your treachery under pressure Under fear that the time is near, to reckon with stories told Of Black bodies sold Somebody say a prayer America’s gotten bold with it America’s losing control of it Everybody knows it’s America’s undoing goddam This revolution will be televised…it is being televised The script is being written, yet Change is on their tails Eventually they will fail Blackness coming across every path
