Lyrics Red Dawn - SA-ROC

Red Dawn

The dawn breaks, sun beam like a sign of God
Hope your conscience clear, hope you’re clean of heart
I’ve had hands in dirt since I’ve ever learned to walk
And all those years I’ve kept my growing anger camouflaged
And these revelations won’t do more to help them see
Hows it feel to be a prisoner in the land of free
My black skin got me backed against the wall
So I keep swinging at the cracks till the plaster fall
You call me a terrorist when I resort to war?
When I ain’t seen my daddy since the tender age of four
How your hands a simple sport
And all I get for my services is more debt to support
I don seen some strange f.
on the southern trees
And I’ve seen others weep over the bloody leaves
Black bodies are a commodity, price on our heads
So we don’t even get a moment to swallow our grieve
Now its judgment day, how does your plead?
Resounding guilty from the members of the justice league
It’s the moment of truth
It’s the dawn of a new day
Now we stand on our own too
This is prophecy fulfilled I’m a saved man
From Virginia cattle fields to the stage man
I got heaven on my side, righteousness behind me
And we gonn' bring the light of God to this depraved land
We gonn' get free or die tryin, word is bond
And that’s in Babylon
When your scales are just as thick but you’re half as my resilient
Cuz I’m smashing every surface I get this gavel on
I ain’t never been
My intelligence and strength is more than eclipse your demand
We’re leveling the playing field by every means necessary
Every time you’ll hear Sa-Roc you’ll think legendary fam
And I’m just but one of many, an example to be sampled from
A humble woman who chose the value in path of martyrdom
I’d rather die on my own tour than live on my knees
Please believe I ain’t ask for battle till they started some
So I’ll be damned if you don’t watch fight to take the liar down
It’s the moment of truth
It’s the dawn of a new day
Now we stand on our own too
On our own too
On our own too
