Interlude: Dad Was Mad

I was the first, one of the first
 My first day, a state trooper caught me
 Put me in the backseat of the car
 And meeting the other black kids, was six of us
 And seeing all of those parents
 And also KKK members having signs
 And throwing cans at us, spitting at us
 We lived in the threat of death every day, every day
 So I was just lost in this vacuum
 Between integration and segregation and, and racism
 That was my childhood
 I was angry for years
 Angry, very angry
