lyrics

Lord,
I be out here begging God, "Let empires fall."
another Black man dead, goddamn,
had to start a roll call.
Tamir, he missed his roll call.
Sandra gone.
Trayvon, he lost his life to some skittles,
still keep my mind on his momma,
I keep my eyes on his spirits.

Locked up, locked down,
curfew sundown,
hella niggas outside,
kops wildin',
now we getting gassed downtown.

But we still yelling, "Reclamation!"
And we been screaming "Fuck 12!"
since Lincoln's proclamation.

Shaking ass for sovereignty,
them enbies singing Cardi B,
"WAP, WAP, WAP" for
"we abolish police."
You gotta dance a lot to cope
with all this PTSD.
(ain't no letters out of Richmond tonight)

You gotta grab all your brothers and your sisters real close,
be sure to spread a little love on all the people you struggle with
before our time is up.
That nigga Biden won, I thought his #Time was up?
(ain't no letters out of Richmond tonight)

You gotta grab all your brothers and your sisters real close,
be sure to spread a little love on all the people you struggle with
before our time is up.
That nigga Biden won, I thought his #Time was up?
(yeah ain't no letters out of Richmond tonight)

We set that shit on fire.
We set that shit ablaze.
