does the truth hold any weight - jill scott lyrics

Loading...

[spoken intro]
thank you so much everybody for allowing me to tell my stories
and read poetry
and acting in your movies and your tv shows and stuff
it’s been a really blessed life, and i just wanna say thank you so much
for your encouragement and support, it means a lot
you don’t have to do it, but you do, and that’s what’s up
i wrote this when i was 19 years old
ready?
i’m 51 now, by the way

[verse]
oh, say can you see by the blood in the streets
that this place doesn’t smile on you, colored child
whose blood built this land with sweat and their hands
but we’ll die in this place and your memory erased

[chorus]
oh say, does this truth hold any weight
this is not the land of the free, but the home of the slaves!
