Eshe? She went down to Holly Springs

Rasha Don and Baba? They went down to Peachtree

Headliner, I challenge you to a game of horseshoes

A game of horseshoes!

RE#m                SOL#7/4
Now I see the importance of history
RE#m                   SOL#7/4
Why my people be in the mess that they be
RE#m               SOL#7/4
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
  RE#m                SOL#7/4
My brothers on the corner playing ghetto games
  RE#m          SOL#7/4
I ask you Lord why you enlightened me
  RE#m             SOL#7/4
Without the enlightenment of all my folks
   RE#m             SOL#7/4
He said 'cause I set myself on a quest for truth
    RE#m             SOL#7/4
And you was there to quench my thirst

But I am still thirsty...

RE#m  SOL#7/4

    RE#m               SOL#7/4
The Lord allowed me to drink some more
   RE#m           SOL#7/4
He said what I am searching for
        RE#m                 SOL#7/4
Are the answers to all which are in front of me

The ultimate truth started to get blurry
    RE#m                SOL#7/4
For some strange reason it had to be
   RE#m                  SOL#7/4
It was all a dream about Tennessee
