Letter To The Free Lyrics - Common

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

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) 

The caged birds sings for freedom to bring 

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, all 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
