If you wanna go higher, then we got to get deep

Portland, you still with me tonight?

Mirror, mirror what you see?
Have I still got those dark clouds over me?
Or am I still feeling what I feel?
The last days of the Devil's deal
Oh, mirror, what you see?

Devil, devil, what you know?
You been here since 1914 but now you got to go
You been hiding behind corporate eyes
You want to war but you can't fight
Oh, devil, devil, you got to go

Bridge
You might say, "What you mad about?"
But you still got your family name
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Rosenbloom
I'll be John Blackwell just the same
What's your family name?

Talk to me
Teacher, teacher what you say?
Did we really come over in a boat?
Did it really go down that way?
Or did I arrive before you, ruin Thanksgiving Day?
Oh, teacher, what you say?

Preacher, preacher, is it true
That Jesus wants me to give my money to the likes of you?
Ride around in your Lexus Coupe
Drive us to the cleaners in a pinstripe suit
Oh, preacher, that ain't truth

Watch me now, bridge
You might say, "What you mad about?
But you still got your family name
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Pearlman
You can call me Cassius Clay
Can I play?

What your family name?
Anybody get the game?
Watch it
Make a sound, Violet Brown

You might say, "What you mad about?
You still got your Family name
Pleased to meet you, Mr. Goldstruck

We found this tape in the Akashic records
This is Thomas Jefferson
My fellow Americans, yes I own slaves too
And if there is a just God
We're going to pay for this

Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles
Protestants and Catholics
We'll be able to join hands in the words of the old Negro spiritual
Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last
