The blood
The sweat
The work
From me
The land
The oil
The fruit
The trees
The gold
The water
My culture
My speech
Cost me a lot
But now the truth is free

The blood
The sweat
The work
From me
The land
The oil
The fruit
The trees
The gold
The water
My culture
My speech
Cost me a lot
But now the truth is free

Imagine a people
Affected by an evil
That only few like we know
When slavery was legal
Never seen as equal
Shackled and made to leave home
Africa to Portugal
England and the East Coast
Some died starving
Some couldn't keep hope
Leapt from the ships deck
And chose to torpedo
But most died from the disease though
Shipped to the New World
To build it up for zero
Fought for civil rights in civil wars
For The Eagle
To turn around and see the pecking order under Jim Crow
Nobody gave us freedom
Had to be our own heroes
Promised 40 acres
Andrew Johnson had it vetoed
We built a Black Wall Street
They burned it down from ego
The systematic breaking of the so-called Negro
This country owe a lot
But all it got is hate for me though
It cost us everything
So you know I got to speak on

The blood
The sweat
The work
From me
The land
The oil
The fruit
The trees
The gold
The water
My culture
My speech
Cost me a lot
But now the truth is free

The blood
The sweat
The work
From me
The land
The oil
The fruit
The trees
The gold
The water
My culture
My speech
Cost me a lot
But now the truth is free
