[Verse]
Children are taught to hate, parents just couldn t wait
Some are rich and some are poor, others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change and see them turn around
[Chorus]
Turn around, they ll try to keep you down
Turn around,
Turn around
Don t drag me down
[Verse]
Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid, and felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change see them turn around
[Chorus]
Turn around, they ll try to keep you down
Turn around,
Turn around
Don t drag me down
[Verse]
Ignorance like a gun in hand reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies, media -blitz gonna dry your eyes
You re eighteen wanna be a man Your granddaddy s in the Ku Klux Klan
Taking two steps forward and four steps back
Gonna go to the White House and paint it black
