Lyrics

“Phosphorous (Raisin in the Sun)”
Capers Simmons

VERSE I
White phosphorous falls like snow in the night
It catches on fire
Black powder flies to the stars and ignites
On the Fourth of July

CHORUS
What becomes of a dream deferred?
Does it rot, does it run?
Does it dry like a raisin in the sun?
Where does it go?
Does it explode?

VERSE II
White constables lock and load all their guns
The boy’s on the run
Black criminals rock and roll just for fun
The damage is done

~ CHORUS ~

VERSE IIIa
White criminals live their dreams in the sea
But what’s there for me?
Black servitors mix their drinks on the beach
As they fall asleep

~ VERSE I  ~ CHORUS ~
