Letter To The Free |
| Southern leaves, southern trees we hung from |
| Barren souls, heroic songs unsung |
| Forgive them Father they know this knot is undone |
| Tied with the rope that my grandmother died |
| Pride of the pilgrims affect lives of millions |
| Since slave days separating, fathers from children |
| Institution ain’t just a building |
| But a method, of having black and brown bodies fill them |
| We ain’t seen as human beings with feelings |
| Will the U.S. ever be us? |
| Lord willing! |
| For now we know, the new Jim Crow |
| They stop, search and arrest our souls |
| Police and policies patrol philosophies of control |
| A cruel hand taking hold |
| We let go to free them so we can free us |
| America’s moment to come to Jesus |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| The caged birds sings for freedom to ring |
| Black bodies being lost in the American dream |
| Blood of black being, a pastoral scene |
| Slavery’s still alive, check Amendment 13 |
| Now whips and chains are subliminal |
| Instead of 'nigga' they use the word 'criminal' |
| Sweet land of liberty, incarcerated country |
| Shot me with your ray-gun |
| And now you want to trump me |
| Prison is a business, America’s the company |
| Investing in injustice, fear and long suffering |
| We staring in the face of hate again |
| The same hate they say will make America great again |
| No consolation prize for the dehumanized |
| For America to rise it’s a matter of Black Lives |
| And we gonna free them, so we can free us |
| America’s moment to come to Jesus |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
| Freedom (Freedom) |
| Freedom come (Freedom come) |
| Hold on (Hold on) |
| Won’t be long (Won't be long) |
