Reconstruction RAP!

So all the slaves are moving up to escape the dreaded South They aint puttin up with whites They gonna to leave without a doubt Freedmans Bureau helpin out So the homies can adjust I'm talkin brand new schools now, thats some charitable trust! Repeat Chorus Verse 3: Now, when it comes to free slaves Ya know that Congress got their back Thats why in 1866, They passed a Civil Rights Act Now all the brothas of this nation Could buy themselves some land They could also enter contracts, Now isnt that grand? Amendment fourteen followed soon after that They all citizens now, we rollin out the welcome mat And before the Southern states were forgave for treachery They had to ratify this change Of course the first was Tennessee! Closing After one more amendment that allowed the blacks to vote, It seemed the blacks and the whites were finally on the same boat Although problems were around, And some brothas were oppressed Life was still a lot better All my homies, they'd been blessed |
