Power
It's time to
Reclaim our power
Rewrite our past
Rebuild our future
For Black lives will last
Longer than trends
And more permanent than hashtags
Freedom our flag
Freedom our wear
Freedom our love
Freedom our hair
Freedom our peace
Freedom no fear
Freedom no fear
Word to Nina Simone
We got it going on
From afros and wide tooth combs
And hand me down clothes
To the unmistakable gold
Deep down in our souls
We can be allies
Decolonize white lies
Eliminate black bodies traced by white outlines
Recognize our truths
Value our youth
See the humanity looking back at you
As we heal our wounds
We heal the nation
No negotiation for Black and Brown liberation
Yes, we'll take the reparations
And credit where it's due
We'll use our voice to teach history they ain't teach us in school
We've had the patience
Endurance too
Fixed our crowns so they can no longer be removed
Cotton field hands
Built the land on which we stand
Planted the trees that give breath to every man
Summoned the Spirit to never break but bend
And through it all stitched our power back together again
Stitched our power back together again, again
Reclaim our power
Rewrite our past
Rebuild our future
For Black lives will last
Longer than trends
And more permanent than hashtags
Freedom our flag
Freedom our wear
Freedom our love
Freedom our hair
Freedom our peace
Freedom no fear
Freedom no fear
Word to Nina Simone
We got it going on
From afros and wide tooth combs
And hand me down clothes
To the unmistakable gold
Deep down in our souls
We can be allies
Decolonize white lies
Eliminate black bodies traced by white outlines
Recognize our truths
Value our youth
See the humanity looking back at you
As we heal our wounds
We heal the nation
No negotiation for Black and Brown liberation
Yes, we'll take the reparations
And credit where it's due
We'll use our voice to teach history they ain't teach us in school
We've had the patience
Endurance too
Fixed our crowns so they can no longer be removed
Cotton field hands
Built the land on which we stand
Planted the trees that give breath to every man
Summoned the Spirit to never break but bend
And through it all stitched our power back together again
Stitched our power back together again, again
