Free

Saw my brother down on his knees

Forced to give his own eulogy

As I was measuring the distance between

The world we've been given and the world we'll leave

How come most of us that ignore this

Read the book and they look like me

Are we baptized in irony

Cause we're not free until we're all free

We're not free until we're all free

We're not free until we're all free

Brother packed my bag and carried me on a voyage 'cross that wayward Sea

Docked his boat and shackled me dragged me through a land tilled in red seed

Father Father I can't breathe knee pressed so hard tell my Mother now I'm free

Was the hope you made not built for me when you were lynched at Calvary

I'm looking for

Freedom I'm pleadin

Won't this come a bit sooner

We're talkin' bout revolution
