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.
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.
