• Album: Let Freedom Reign

Oh American citizen
Come collect your freedom
No matter what your living in
No more giving in
Oh American citizen
Come collect your freedom
No matter what you're living in
It's time to win

Keep us in the four walls of our churches we'll be quiet
Most of us ain't even Democratic or Republi-
Can and by coincidence
We love the elected until they're detected of being human
America falls minorities lose more
But if we unite we would have won the war
On poverty war
On drugs war
On medicaid war
On love

Freedom isn't given it is taken
Freedom isn't free it's earned
Not know it's learned
Been hung and burned
Yet rest in peace resurrected plea
This ain't black or white it's grey
This is not about my face
Most of us don't know what to say
Right from wrong or free from slave

Let freedom reign
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be free
Let freedom reign
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be free

[Talib Kweli]
America the beautiful
Suspect as usual
Liberty and death give me freedom or my funeral
I walk across the planet with the steps of a giant
My rhymes bridge the gap between religion and science
Cause my evidence is spiritual
I know my sheer presence is a miracle
I wasn't supposed to be here to share with you
But here I am standing with my chest out
I take my place in history I never get left out
You stressed out and scared so it's causing you to act hard
Freedom aint free gotta put it on my black card
My passport claim I'm an American citizen
The constitution said I'm three fifths I'm not a simeon gorrilla
Make my songs stronger than the horn of Gideon
Truth is explorers gave the native people syphillis
Consider this Christopher Columbus ain't know where he was going
So lets stop calling our Native brothers Indians

Let freedom reign
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be free
Let freedom reign
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be free

[Black Thought]
We were carried here in shackles from the homelands
???? chain locked brain washed programmed
Time's change freedom reigns I'm a grown man
Holding the future in the palms of my own hands
In this world the coonery and tomfoolery
All I'm trying to do is stay true to my community
The daily news aint the only thing that's schooling me
Watching these haters operating with impunity
Its journey dollar signs black and white collar crimes
Running out of time out of sight out of mind
It gets realer and Isreal and Palestine
Troubles of the world start to seem intertwined
War criminals conflict minerals
Pillagers are coming home five star generals
Telling lies in press conferences and interviews
I'm trying to take back the power cause it's been abused

Let freedom reign
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be free
Let freedom reign
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be free

I'm just black in America
I'm not afro american
Just a passive american
Making believe I'm better than
What we've been what we've been
I said
I'm just black in America
I'm not afro american
Just a passive american
Making believe I'm better than
What we've been what we've been
