Freedom Heights (A Song For Joshua Glover)

I am stronger than my body gives me credit for
Been through some things, I’ve seen some things, yeah
One of the many, so many lives were slain
Night and day I fought the pain, held on to faith
Until my freedom came
No matter how hard it gets, or how bad it all seems
I’ll never give up, that’s not in my blood
Sweat and tears falling down from my face
No way I’ll let someone take my place
I fought so hard to reserve this space
I’m coming for everything that’s mine
Life has prepared me for this time
Out of the darkness I’ll still shine
New levels, new heights
I’m coming for everything that’s mine
Life has prepared me for this time
Out of the darkness I’ll still shine
New levels, new heights
If this coffee, like cocoa, like butter, pigment is a target
So be it then
See the power like roots goes so deep in
From the darkest of depths we still beaming
Believing, 'cause brothers are deeper than water
Often imitated, never duplicated
Forever leading the charge
Though I walk through the valley
I shall feel no others see you’re with me
You make me lie in greener pastures
And you made a place for me to eat
Oh in front of my enemies
I’m coming for everything that’s mine
Life has prepared me for this time
Out of the darkness I’ll still shine
New levels, new heights
I’m coming for everything that’s mine
Life has prepared me for this time
Out of the darkness I’ll still shine
New levels, new heights
New levels, yo
For all the blood spilled in every ocean
For every cold murder that they justify
We savages? Yo I reject the notion
They spoke of 40 acres just to pacify
Shackle the mental, never the energy, huh
I know why they taught us love thy enemy, huh
J Glover my brother, yo we acknowledge you
Spirit of the ancestors we gotta follow through
No matter how hard it gets, or how bad it all seems
I’ll never give up, that’s not in my blood
Sweat and tears falling down from my face
No way I’ll let someone take my place
I fought so hard to reserve this space
I’m coming for everything that’s mine
Life has prepared me for this time
Out of the darkness I’ll still shine
New levels, new heights
I’m coming for everything that’s mine
Life has prepared me for this time
Out of the darkness I’ll still shine
New levels, new heights
I’m coming for everything that’s mine
Life has prepared me for this time
Out of the darkness I’ll still shine
New levels, new heights
I’m coming for everything that’s mine
Life has prepared me for this time
Out of the darkness I’ll still shine
New levels, new heights
