Let Freedom Ring (Studio B)
The greatest
Let freedom ring, freedom ring
Freedom ring (whoo), free
Let freedom ring, freedom ring, freedom ring
Free
Uh, us and the police at the bottom of the sea
We both ain't been treated good
So why you wanna hurt me?
Yeah, I'm in the trap
If I could, I would leave
I'm stuck in the hood
Is this what you call free?
In the land of broken promises
Where slave owners become prominent
Burn up the confederate flags
And tear down their monuments
We living under
This the new world like Wakanda
My people will rise, it's time to come up
Our voices were loud, they heard the thunder
It's taking long to come together
If we're all equal, why your life is better?
It's taking long for a understanding
Some forgot that slavery happened
As I look at the world today
I see a lot of love, but a whole lot of hate
They history repeats itself
It seem like it's 1958
Black bodies hanging in the trees
Blood on the leaves, blood at the roots
Black bodies swinging in the breeze
This is why trees bear strange fruits
We gotta do what we gotta do
Do to them what they did to you
They say we killing each other
I ain't the enemy, I am your brother
Divide and conquer, can't go no further
Rebirth of a nation, I'm Erb Turner
My people woke, they see the murders
The unjust, the devil's workers
400 years that really hurt us 'til this day
But I'ma do something, I'm not afraid
We still are slaves, chain on your brain
We look for a change, it's always the same
Your last name belongs to your owner
It's hard to gain, they really still own us
Life is a game, seems like they control us
The Truman Show, they even show us
We be too blind to see the light
Until our darkest moments
Gotta stay focused, it's us that God chosen
From golden to stolen, then brought across the ocean
My people are broken with so much emotions
We're lost and we're hopeless
It's time for a Moses
My eyes are open, my mind is clear
I know who I am and why I'm here
To wipe the tears, remove the fears
I won't let you down, I'm gonna uplift
To live the dream of Dr. King
You gotta be woke and wake those who are asleep
There's gotta be war if you want peace
We all on the floor, on our necks, there's a knee
I do this for you, it's bigger than me
Lift every voice, everyone sing
I'm fighting for justice and equality
Liberty bell, let freedom ring
Let freedom ring, freedom ring
Freedom ring (whoo), free
Let freedom ring, freedom ring, freedom ring
Free
Uh, us and the police at the bottom of the sea
We both ain't been treated good
So why you wanna hurt me?
Yeah, I'm in the trap
If I could, I would leave
