Freedom Fighter Lyrics

Freedom fighter not just a freedom writer

Maybe we’re freeing up space by using the lighter

Burning down buildings to free their eyes up

Buildings come down as souls get higher and higher

Because we realise the eyes are the windows to our souls

Maybe the buildings can’t take no more

Maybe be they’re sick of being a witness to

Injustice but their mouths are tied shut with money

Honey and milk

Nnm mm

More like blood and gravel if we land face first

And if we don’t then our beds are made on the earth

As sheets are laid over us

I can’t breathe

Officer I’m scared

I didn’t do anything

I’m innocent

In school we learnt our human rights

I guess blue uniforms got to skip that class

Class they show none to the black working class middle class and upper class it’s crazy

Racists got black people catching our breath cos we’re from different races

And it won’t run no more

You’ve been busting guns and told us to silence

But we said no sir no more

Learn how to speak up my inner Kunta not just making noise in the speaker

covered in melodies

I want these to hit raw to your ears

Cos we need therapy

You ripped our hearts from our chest and stomped on it,

You took what’s ours then put us on ships

What more do you want you bitter racists

I hope you choke on your own bitter hatred

I hate this

But I don’t hate you

I just hate the view from these flipping windows

Black assault as quick as the wind blows

Windrush shhh

We didn’t forget that hush

I’ll get back to that

Got to prioritise this by loss of blood

Ahh

George Floyd

Nia Wilson

Belly mujinga

Breonna Taylor

Ahmaud Arbery

The Lord must really love black people

Probably why satan's trying to take us all

But we aren’t afraid of dying anymore

Woke

Black people’s blood are touching the ground and is causing a whirlwind

They thought the beauty was in our stones and minerals but its really in our skin

Now I know why it was only when the dumb officer put his knee on the neck we took a stand like Kaepernick

They take our stones but fill our mouths with their cheap gravel as we scream face first on the ground we can’t breathe

Do we have to die to escape from more torture for us to really rest in peace

Please

Stop killing us

How about if we ask nicely

Pretty please

Black lives will always matter

Rest in peace to everyone who has died from the hands of racism

Shukri Abdi you're not forgotten

And to everyone else who has been a victim and is still here to fight on

I hope you you fight strong

Always know that black lives will always matter
