Avalanche Lyrics - Prince

He was not or never had been in favor 

of setting r people free 

if it wasn't 4 the 13th Amendment 

we woulda been born in slavery 

He was not or never had been in favor 

of letting us vote so u c... 

Abraham Lincoln was a racist who said 

"U cannot escape from history" 

Like the snow comin' down the mountain 

that landed on Wounded Knee 

Nobody wants 2 take the weight- 

The responsibility

Hear the joyous sound of freedom 

The Harlem Renaissance 

Hear Duke Ellington and his band 

kick another jungle jam 

Ooh, do u wanna dance? 

Who's that lurking in the shadows? 

Mr. John Hammond with his pen in hand... 

sayin' "Sign ur kingdom over 2 me 

and b known throughout the land!" 

But, u ain't got no money, U ain't got no cash, 

So u sign yo name and he claims innocence 

just like every snowflake in an avalanche...
