The plantations,
The plantations',
Thriving roots,
Bloody the leaves grew,
Bearing such strange fruits,
Don't hesitate
We ain't got time,
The path we chose is marred in lies,
Some say nothing's wrong,
Some voices ring,
But I can't speak,
Suffocating,
In' Glory's claws,
I can't breathe,
The plantations,
The plantations',
Thriving roots,
Cotton sewn into,
Old Glory's true face
Don't hesitate,
We ain't got time
Don't hesitate,
Don't hesitate,
Don't hesitate,
No,
Cause time won't
Paint me, O, the colors of distinction
You swore you couldn't see,
Then let whiteness subjugate me,
All these little things make the lexicon we're building,
That system's an infection,
Values lost in complexion,
In working class invention
Made it out the fields,
To wear more brands,
Been enslaved again,
Fund our own oppression,
Is it worth the gains,
Walk through the land of gun,
You might not survive
Don't hesitate,
We ain't got time,
The path we rode is marred in lies,
Don't hesitate,
We ain't got time,
Never this time again to rise,
So come and face the rise!
