Black America
Twisted Soul
A heart dark as midnight
You hurt my people, do you not love my people
My brother, there’s way too many of you dying
Fathers, oh fathers, there’s way too many of you dying
My sister, come hug one another
They say joy comes in the morning
Well when will morning come?
Feels like I’m living in the darkness
Joy in the morning is what we sing
My people stand up and believe
We are kings and queens
Freedom is what we fight for
Freedom is what I write for
I am a Freedom Writter
Joy comes in the morning
After the dark sacred nights
We shall overcome this neglect
This death trend cannot continue
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
Says those who serve to kill
Kill our courage, kill our pride, kill our joy, and snatch our lives away
Shackle us up in cages
The jail is their new slave ship
Change is coming
Coming to those who wait?
Coming to those who refuse to settle
Starting today, promise you will make a difference
For you and your futue children
