Where do I come from
It seems as though it’s a history we run from
Or better yet a history we don’t even know exists
Because the system set into place
Aims to erase our existence
What is the black experience
We must channel the spirits
Of our ancestors
So we can understand their journey
And how they got here
Because if we don’t know who we are
We will never know who we should be
It’s bigger than you and me
This is about unity
This is about community
This is about reclaiming our namesake
Because we built these United States
T R U T H
We got nothing to lose
We got nothing to prove
Our only responsibility is to do what we wanna do
And we want to be free
You, me, everybody
W E
We are our ancestors wildest dream
Happy Juneteenth
