Welcome, you have just accessed the akashic records genetic information division.
The program is starting and the subject is gaining access to the genetic information archive of the kingdom.

This program is required for those wishing to obtain a marriage blessing from the kingdom.

When you wish to begin this program, Place you're right hand on the scanner And tightly clench up you're butt cheeks as you might feel a slight electrical shock.
To start the program, the subject must put their right hand on the scanner and tighten their buttocks, which may cause a slight shock.

Please select the race history you desire. You have selected African-American. This is your history
The subject has chosen the African-American race history.

First of all, the term "black and white" is a fallacy.
The concept of 'black and white' is a fallacy.

It simply is another way of saying "this or that".
'Black and white' is just another way of saying 'this or that.'

Let's examine the term "this or that" in its ultimate form which is: "This" means the truth or "that which is resistant to it.
Examining the term 'this or that' reveals the truth versus nonconformity.

When a minority realizes its similarities on a higher level- not just "black"- But people of color, and higher still "indigenous", And even higher still, "from the tribe of.", And yet higher- the "Rainbow Children".
Minorities can unite beyond race, by identifying with origin and spirituality (tribal and 'Rainbow Children')

When this understanding comes, The so-called minority becomes a majority in the wink of an eye.
With the unification of minorities comes the majority.

This action will cause a reaction or resistance.
Resistance is to be expected with unification of minority groups.

The source of this resistance must be banished as it is in direct conflict With the initial action.
The cause of resistance must be eliminated as it clashes with the actions of unification.

It cannot be assimilated,For its very nature is resistance.
The resistance cannot be incorporated, as it is by definition incompatible with change.

In other words, one cannot serve to masters.You are either "this" or "that" which is not "this".
You cannot serve two incompatible things; it's either conformity or nonconformity.

Mirror, mirror what you see? Have I still got those dark clouds over me? Or am I really feeling what I feel? the last days of the devil's deal Mirror, what you see?
The mirror represents self-reflection - you question if your feelings are truly yours or remnants of a past influence.

Devil, devil what you know? You been here since 1914, but now you got to go You been hidin' behind corporate eyes You want to war, but you can't fight Devil, you got to go
Addressing the institutional corruption, personified as the devil, that's been hiding behind corporate 'eyes' and promoting conflict without the ability to fight.

You might say, "what you mad about?" But you still got you're family name Pleased to meet you, Mr. Rosenbloom I'll be John Blackwell just the same What's you're family name?
Regardless of past grievances, people can put their differences aside and introduce themselves regardless of family name.

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 and ruin Thanksgiving Day? Teacher, what you say?
The song inquires about the version of history that children are taught, with a particular reference to Thanksgiving, questioning its accuracy.

Preacher, preacher is it true? That Jesus wants me to give my money to the likes of you? Ride around in you're Lexus coupe Drive us to the cleaners in a pinstripe suit Preacher, that ain't truth!
Speaking about the corruption in religious leadership and questioning their use of donations, provoking a sense of disgust and the demand for truth.

People, people what's you're name? Maybe we should start all over Let everybody get in the game Put up a one-gloved fist Make a sound, violet brown
A call to revolution, asking people to unite beyond their differences as one, represented by the one-gloved fist and the 'sound' of their colour.

We found this tape in the akashic records. This is Thomas Jefferson "My fellow Americans, if there is a just God, we're gonna pay for this!" "Black men and white men, Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics will 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!"
The song quotes Thomas Jefferson regarding his apologies, followed up by lyrics based on a speech that promotes freedom, equality, and unity.
