This an American story
A fists up story
An our power story
I've read
I'll write this blues story
I'm talking a high low story
Uptown to down home
An old new story
Kunta to Kendrick
A turned up
Stripped down
Soundboard and guit-box
You heard what I said
This here is the call
This here is the work
This work is the joy
And by joy I mean chance
To show how we stay woke
And stay fresh live past death
We so strong we survive off the sound
We make
When we tell
Our story
