Confront the day

I want a way to make sense of it

Yeah it's a maze-ment

The turn of the world and how they see you

Ye already said they see us as black beatles

Black people open hebrews

Let it speak to the saviour inside

You'll see why the world needs you cathedral

Black bodies fallen in the hands and the clutches of

Descendants of the Dutchman-Anglo motherf**kers

That don't love us wranglers

It's in their genes to cuff us

We the tribe of Levi

Cut them jeans knee-high

I think that it would be wise

To read the book of Eli-jah Mohammad

And see why we're prominent

Life's precious of lessons upon it

Our mother's grandmothers should be called iconic

Life's precious of blessings upon it

I don't know what we should call it

Some say it's love some got it lust

They say that we're free but we're falling

So what should we call it

Blood on the leaves it ain't Autumn

The weight is so heavy it hurts underneath

Now it seem that we got it the hardest

And we keep on falling

They say racism and it don't stop

They talk sexism yeah it don't stop

Americanism yeah it don't stop

You gotta get that wisdom and get your glock

Before they hit your block with the National Guard

Yeah you're protected by a compassionate guard

We hunting for jobs being hunted by squads

It's a small world we want it at large

America's most neglected and arrested

That's why your vaccine I gotta second guess it

We don't know what you're shooting black kings and black queens

Plus your health record ain't really that clean

We don't forget like nat king what happened in Tuskegee

We're getting over high blood pressure and diabetes

Like trees we fall in the wilderness of America

Is it you don't hear us or don't care for us

I don't know what we should call it

Some say it's love some got it lust

They say that we're free but we're falling

So what should we call it

Blood on the leaves it ain't Autumn

The weight is so heavy it hurts underneath

Now it seem that we got it the hardest

And we keep on falling

Once upon a time there was a black man

They loved him when he shot ball

They loved him when he ran

They loved him when he rapped

They loved him when he danced

But really didn't love him when he was out with his fam

Couldn't love him in the hood or selling CD's

And couldn't love her when she was in her house sleep

I'm wondering if this love if it's really love at all

'Cause in that type of love we fall

I don't know what we should call it

Some say it's love some got it lust

They say that we're free but we're falling

So what should we call it

Blood on the leaves it ain't Autumn

The weight is so heavy it hurts underneath

Now it seem that we got it the hardest

And we keep on falling

Ooh we keep falling

Ooh we keep falling

Ooh we keep falling

Ooh we keep falling
