Letter To The Free - Common/Bilal[00:00:00]

Written by：Lonnie Lynn/Emmanuel Riggins/Robert Glasper[00:00:00]

Southern leaves southern trees we hung from[00:00:31]

Barren souls heroic songs unsung[00:00:34]

Forgive them father they know this knot is undone[00:00:36]

Tied with the rope that my grandmother died[00:00:39]

Pride of the pilgrims affect lives of millions[00:00:41]

Since slave days separating fathers from children[00:00:44]

Institution ain't just a building[00:00:47]

But a method of having black and brown bodies fill them[00:00:49]

We ain't seen as human beings with feelings[00:00:52]

Will the u s ever be us lord willing[00:00:54]

For now we know the new jim crow[00:00:57]

They stop search and arrest our souls[00:00:59]

Police and policies patrol philosophies of control[00:01:02]

A cruel hand taking hold[00:01:06]

We let go to free them so we can free us[00:01:07]

America's moment to come to jesus[00:01:10]

Freedom freedom[00:01:13]

Freedom come[00:01:15]

Hold on hold on[00:01:17]

Won't be long won't be long[00:01:20]

Freedom freedom[00:01:23]

Freedom come freedom come[00:01:26]

Hold on hold on[00:01:28]

Won't be long won't be long[00:01:31]

The caged birds sings for freedom to bring[00:01:33]

Black bodies being lost in the American dream[00:01:36]

Blood of black being a pastoral scene[00:01:39]

Slavery's still alive check amendment 13[00:01:41]

Not whips and chains all subliminal[00:01:44]

Instead of 'nigga' they use the word 'criminal'[00:01:47]

Sweet land of liberty incarcerated country[00:01:49]

Shot me with your ray gun[00:01:52]

And now you want to trump me[00:01:53]

Prison is a business America's the company[00:01:54]

Investing in injustice fear and long suffering[00:01:57]

We staring in the face of hate again[00:02:00]

The same hate they say will make america great again[00:02:02]

No consolation prize for the dehumanized[00:02:05]

For america to rise it's a matter of black lives[00:02:07]

And we gonna free them so we can free us[00:02:10]

America's moment to come to jesus[00:02:13]

Freedom freedom[00:02:15]

Freedom come[00:02:18]

Hold on[00:02:20]

Won't be long won't be long[00:02:23]

Freedom freedom[00:02:26]

Freedom come freedom come[00:02:29]

Hold on hold on[00:02:31]

Won't be long won't be long[00:02:33]

Freedom[00:02:36]

Freedom come[00:02:38]

Hold on[00:02:41]

Won't be long won't be long[00:02:44]

Freedom freedom[00:02:46]

Freedom come freedom come[00:02:49]

Hold on[00:02:52]

Won't be long won't be long[00:02:54]

Freedom[00:02:57]

Freedom come[00:02:59]

Hold on hold on[00:03:02]

Won't be long won't be long[00:03:05]

Freedom[00:03:07]

Freedom come freedom come[00:03:10]

Hold on[00:03:13]

Won't be long won't be long[00:03:15]
