ColdmaN5 - Rosa Park's Bus Pass Lyrics

Rosa Parks woke up that morning
Not knowing history would be made
She had to get to her place of employment
For what else to get paid
She covered her waffles in some Aunt Jemimas
And she dressed herself up nicely
And walked out to the bus stop
At nine A.M. precisely

Rosa Parks is a smart black lady
She stood up for what was right
Rosa Parks

She works at the Cotton Gin
A local clothing shop
Her only friends were those
Who were at her bus stop
She attended church where her master
I mean pastor
Was the only one who looked after her

Rosa Parks is a smart black lady
She stood up for what was right
Rosa Parks

The bus arrived right on time
At the corner of Fifth and Main
When she walked on the bus
She didn't expect the pain
Get in the back of the bus said the driver
"But why," Rosa Parks asked
"'Cause you can't sit in the front
Without your current bus pass"

Rosa Parks is a smart black lady
She stood up for what was right
Rosa Parks

"With all due respect sir"
Rosa Parks began
"I have a bus pass"
"Then sit on your can"
Rosa sat in the front seat
And everything was fine
Until she saw she was in the slave sale seat
And people screamed "She's mine she's mine"
Rosa Parks was sold back into slavery
And was told not to make a sound
She worked in the fields
For the rest of her life
And that's how it really went down
