Pantoum -The Great Migration
Lennie Johnson 3rd

I decide to flee with my spouse
It's so hot and steamy in the south
Coordinated racism in the heart of them all and in the Mississippi mouth,
Designated to blacks, so they decided to motivate
Which we now call the Great Migration

It's so hot and steamy in the south
They knew they were the best so a million and one left
Which we know call the Great Migration
Brought the south to ruins and gave the north all the fame

They knew they were the best so a million and one left
Took valuables from their house as if it was a theft
Brought the south to ruins and gave the north all the fame
Confederates jaws dropped due to the U-N-I-T-Y of Negroes, and now they're looking for a new race to tame
