Stephen Day
Holy Ground
[Verse 1]
Her daddy drives a black Range Rover
They're living on the nice side of town
Parks it in the shade on Sunday
So it’s cool when church gets out

[Chorus]
And he says it’s holy ground
But what makes it holy now?

[Verse 2]
Her momma left her daddy for more money
Living in the new Country Club
Meets up with the girls on Mondays
To hear all the neighborhood buzz

[Chorus]
And she says it’s holy ground
But what makes it holy now?
They say it’s holy ground
But what makes it holy now?

[Verse 3]
Her brother’s got a game this Friday
Playing the team from “the hood”
He says, “if they don’t stand for the anthem"
He's gonna “take off that quarterback’s head”
[Chorus]
Coach says it’s holy ground
But what makes it holy now?
They say it’s holy ground
But what makes it holy now?

[Verse 4]
There’s protests on the TV station
They shot another black man down
And she watches as it turns her daddy’s face red
And covers her ears as they began to shout

[Chorus]
This country’s holy ground
Holy ground
But just what makes it holy now?
