[00:04.50]Iceboy violet Loraine James
[00:08.61]R I P to all victims
[00:09.95]Of police violence
[00:12.06]Abolish the police
[00:14.86]Dancing unstable under the
[00:16.10]Abandoned scaffold of Babel
[00:17.55]We had eight at the table
[00:19.26]Breaking bread and cable ties
[00:21.03]No hard hats acting fatal
[00:23.27]All them stories felt like fables
[00:25.50]Lost in the night sharing
[00:26.82]Building supplies
[00:27.97]With a joke and a sigh small
[00:29.50]Talk 'round smaller fires
[00:31.07]Flames fanned by distant
[00:32.11]Cries what's mine is yours
[00:33.68]What's yours is mine
[00:34.77]Only got hope and pain
[00:35.94]And the rope at change
[00:36.97]Stuck to my thigh
[00:38.15]Tongue soaked
[00:38.55]In rage and wine
[00:39.62]Tryna paint the sky blue
[00:40.91]Or black as morning rise
[00:42.60]Been here ten toes can't
[00:43.64]Lend you those got holes
[00:44.80]In my both shoes
[00:46.24]Don't need to read the news
[00:47.87]One million views
[00:48.82]Of black bodies bruised
[00:49.74]And you're acting so confused
[00:51.44]The seeds they sowed
[00:52.39]Bare strange fruit
[00:54.60]They tryna bleed
[00:55.55]Us for that juice
[00:58.45]Tryna bleed us for this juice
[01:00.66]R I P to all victims
[01:01.82]Of police violence
[01:04.78]They bleed us for that juice
[01:06.94]Sweeter now with
[01:07.58]The sweetest sound
[01:08.43]No saving a wretch like you
[01:10.20]We bop we flex we groove
[01:11.75]Look so smooth as
[01:12.50]We're making it through
[01:13.44]Patience worn like golden tooth
[01:15.25]Defiant laughter
[01:16.05]Soothe the wounds
[01:16.80]Tear down their statues
[01:17.92]Break their rules
[01:19.03]Never learnt our
[01:19.66]History in school
[01:20.83]I live it wear it hand it down
[01:22.80]Heavy is the head that
[01:23.62]Wears the crown
[01:24.45]But we won't ever
[01:25.46]Keep 'em bowed
[01:26.56]Trade an eye for the calm
[01:27.61]In the eye of the storm
[01:28.68]Know my siblings
[01:29.51]Standing tall
[01:30.45]Hope my siblings
[01:31.27]Feel the warmth
[01:31.91]Minnesota's burning
[01:32.86]Bristol's raw
[01:33.71]Manchester's sore world
[01:34.91]Heard the call
[01:35.53]Deserve our forty acres
[01:37.10]Want 'em all
[01:37.96]To plant our seeds
[01:39.00]And deep our roots
[01:40.15]Ripened words for the
[01:41.07]Sake of the youth
[01:41.90]The seeds we sow
[01:42.76]Bare beautiful fruit
[01:43.93]We're building something
[01:45.73]We're building something new
[01:49.29]We're building something new
[01:52.78]We're building something new
[01:56.29]Keep fighting
[02:01.41]Dancing grateful under the
[02:02.74]Abandoned scaffold of babel
[02:04.17]We had 15 thou' at the table
[02:05.96]Breaking bread and cable ties
[02:07.71]No more rest if feels so fatal
[02:09.68]'Till those war stories
[02:10.79]Feel like fables
[02:12.21]Told in the night joke and
[02:13.30]A sigh sharing building supplies
[02:15.49]'Til we touch the sky
[02:17.21]'Til we touch the sky
