All these black names will now be hidden
away in white America’s newest game-show
Hide the black contributors
Roll the dice or spin the wheel
Hiding black history is a brand new deal
Open the history books
Look for the black names
There hidden away it’s just a damn shame
Where is Garrett Morgan I’m stopped at a stop light
Where do Carver and Ford connect
The airmen of Tuskegee never lost one damn bomber
There deeds are hidden away
In this game of chance black contributors don’t get an historical glance
The aim of the game is go to your child’s history book
Look for black contributors
Count them up fast
First to 100 black names that book gets a pass
Otherwise don’t use that book in a black history class
Why?
Because your ancestors aren’t treated with class.
