BLACK
Black Americans suffering
My Africans is suffering
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Black Asians is suffering
Black Europeans suffering
Why won't you let my people go
The Islands yeah they all want to know
Too much blood shed taking power
Won't you give back what is ours
Everything touched you devoured
In every country holding power
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Hon'toun meh wati'ma
All this pain and hurt ko dun'tun me wati'ga
We been trying to build our own for the longest time
I done seem it's all with yours it's no eye to eye
It's been hard enough to get through
You left us in harsh financials
My resume is always an issue
You tell me I got poor cardinals
You done took great grandma away
Grandfathers in grave
Trade my sisters
And you raped my mother
Went and put my father up in chains
Still you want to be bother
And just make some laws up
Finding ways put all us in a cage
Even if you hanged me slaughter off hate
You would never take my heart here away
I been living in poverty forever
Now they'll shoot they no longer hang you
I been groomed to not have a lender
Plotted moves but none of them stand up
Achu'ton you not a pretender
I refuse to
What you mean it's been a long time
My African people bleeding in their own tribes
Don't you ever make this seem like it's all fine
When they screaming out for peace you think off crime
If it ain't me who else gone talk about it
My black people today been dying
This isn't justice or whatever it's called violence
And the youth is far from guidance
This isn't justice or whatever it's called violence
Black Americans suffering
My Africans is suffering
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Black Asians is suffering
Black Europeans suffering
Why won't you let my people go
The Islands yeah they all want to know
Too much blood shed taking power
Won't you give back what is ours
Everything touched you devoured
In every country holding power
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
My Africans is suffering
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Black Asians is suffering
Black Europeans suffering
Why won't you let my people go
The Islands yeah they all want to know
Too much blood shed taking power
Won't you give back what is ours
Everything touched you devoured
In every country holding power
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
Why won't you let my people go
