lyrics

Where is the real lady liberty because something don't feel right to me
It's such a fucking mystery why didn't they take the first one?

The first statue of liberty was black
I would like to get that version back
Because I don't identify with all those racist pieces of shit
Who decided that the first one wasn't right

And now that fucking statue is just a lie
The whiteness that they glorify
All the freedom and hope
Well, it's just a fucking joke
Just white people afraid to lose power

And so, Mr. Laboulaye, I wonder what did you say
When they told you your statue was too black?
Did you want to fight back?
Or did you just roll over and accept their demands?

The first statue was designed for the liberation of slaves
The symbology of freedom is the message that they gave
But we rejected with hatred this surely is not right
Her skin is much too dark, yes, this woman should be white
