Lyrics
Ella Baker was a freedom fighter, and she taught us how to fight (say what?) They ain’t nothin' showin' no love Like the world against us Bein' born with no luck In mourning and stuck Fight the power like Chuck Rage against the machines And not giving f**ks Pain and sorrow, once love We know war on good drugs Mean war on Black thugs Politicians disrupt Ain’t no help from above They don’t wanna see us Up, up, up , up , up , up Let my n***as grow Up, up, up , up , up , up Everybody fists (Marsha P Johnson was a freedom frighter and she taught us how to fight) Up, up, up , up , up , up Er'body go (Ida B Wells was a freedom frighter and she taught us how to fight) Up, up, up , up , up , up They don’t wanna see us Y'all need to stop being racist (We ready, we coming) Y'all need to stop being anti-Black (We ready, we coming) Y'all need to stop killing black people (We ready, we coming) Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter (We ready, we coming) We right here, we standin' up, we ain't goin' nowhere, c'mon Uh I got bodily autonomy And its policy is people over property Trade us like pieces of monopoly One day you'll be nothing but the rich to eat Uh, Defund the police Abolish the prisons, or don't speak a word to me Stop ICE and let 'em all free Let the kids be, end intersex surgeries The dollar that enslaved us cannot save us The cop that killed Mike Brown is not a savior Y'all be treatin' laws like religion I ain't come here to play woke musician I don't say "we gon' win" for the listens n***as tired of all the Twitter feed lynchins Free up all my trans siblings in prisons Why they steady punchin' down? They don’t wanna see us Up, up, up , up , up , up Let my n***as grow Up, up, up , up , up , up Everybody fists Up, up, up , up , up , up (We ready, we coming) Er'body go (We ready, we coming) Up, up, up , up , up , up (We ready, we coming) Black womens' lives Black trans lives (Say what?) Black girl lives Black intersex lives (Say what?) Black queer lives Black Muslim lives Black disabled lives Black mens' lives (Say what?) Up, up, up , up , up , up Let my n***as grow Up, up, up , up , up , up Everybody fists Up, up, up , up , up , up (We ready, we coming) Er'body go (We ready, we coming) Up, up, up , up , up , up (We ready, we coming) Harriet Tubman was a freedom fight And she taught us how to fight Charlene Carruthers is a freedom fighter And she taught us how to fight Mia Henry is a freedom fighter And she taught me how to fight Whose side are you on, my people? Whose side are you on? Whose side are you on, my people? Whose side are you on? I am the revolution And the revolution don't stop I am change Soon we will make a change that will change it all I am courage Courage to move the masses forward against those that will sit and stay and not move I am movement Moving all the place where we will be judged by content of our character and not the color of our skin I am my skin Color of my people who toiled the land of America and made it great I am great Great because I dedicate myself to change I dedicate myself to my people I dedicate myself to the movement I dedicate myself to the revolution And the revolution don't stop
