[Cm] Southern [F] leaves, southern trees we hung from, [A] [Ab] barren souls, heroic songs unsung, forgive
them father, they know this knot [Eb] is undone, [Cm] tied with the rope that my grandmother died,
pride of the [F] pilgrims, affect lives [A] of millions, [Ab] enslaved age, separating fathers from children,
institution ain't just a building, [Eb] but [Cm] a method of having black and brown bodies filled, [Fm] we
ain't seen as human beings with feelings, will [Cm] the US ever be us, lord willing, for

still alive, check amendment 13, not [F] whips and chains, I'm subliminal, [Ab] instead of nigger,
they use the word criminal, sweet land of liberty, incarcerated [Eb] country, [Cm] shot me with
your ray gun and now you wanna trump me, [F] prison is a business, America's the [Cm] company, investing
in [Ab] injustice, fear and long suffering, we staring [Bb] in the face of hate again, the [Cm] same
hate they say will make America great again, no [F] consolation prize for the dehumanized,
for [Ab] America to rise is a matter of black lives, and we gon' free them so we can free
