Текст песни
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.
[Chorus: Bilal]
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!
[Verse 2: Common]
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 –
Not whips and chains, eye 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.
[Chorus: Bilal]
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!
