They hate the sound They hate what it means They cover themselves in dark white cloth They organize tribes against it They hire police to stop it They imported them to **** whenever they wanted They got drunk and miserable and numb Their white wives protested oppression by torturing and slandering my brothers and sisters They hate with exterminating thoughts They hate how I got here They hate that it is out of their control They hate the sound of black and white ******* They hate how I was created They hate the sound of my family They wanted us to be oil on fire On top of polluted water They hate the sound of mixed parents ******* They have to wake up and imagine what it feels like To be free To be human They hate the sounds of pleasure as it mixes uncontrollably They hate our ******* They would rather the sound of us twisting in agony in trees Like Ninaβs strange fruit They hate the sound of us ripping through their police They hate the sound of us breaking down their barriers They hate the sound of us being better role models for their children They hate the sound of us owning America I love the sound freedom
