Greenwood Avenue in Tulsa Town They called It Black Wall Street Not just survivin’, business was thrivin’ Life was sweet Proud to be helpin’ each other Everyone lendin’ a hand Built our own promised land on holy ground In Tulsa Town Finally white folks couldn’t stand it They found a reason to attack Hundreds dead, thousands were homeless Some never came back A century later I remember Like it was yesterday They burnt Black Wall Street down to the ground In Tulsa Town You might wonder why nobody told you Why they never taught it at school Keepin’ truth about race from the history page It’s not the exception, it’s been a rule I see a change in the minds of the young ones Standin’ up, speakin’ up, speakin’ out ’Bout things like the massacre In Tulsa Town Greenwood Avenue, Tulsa Town They called it Black Wall Street Not just survivin’, business was thrivin’ Life was sweet I’m so proud to be a survivor Of that brave community Black Wall Street will thrive again In the twenty-first century On holy ground, in Tulsa Town, in Tulsa Town
