28 Days ft. Jonathan Shropshire, Christa Joi, Motorcity ERA, Lito & Kyle Lake Lyrics

Yeah, let freedom ring, it's the song of the saints

We learn resilience, patience, endurance, now we give thanks

Because his love endures forever

We stand together, endure the weather

Together, we thankful for Malcolm X and Rosa

Martin Luther King taught us how to be soldiers

Madam C.J. Walker kept the ladies real classy

Louis Armstrong showed us how to be jazzy

United we stand, divided we fall

We chose to take a knee even while we playing football

Inventors, educators, reverends, artists

Architects, doctors, judges, orthodontists

All shapes and all sizes and status

Black excellence ain't a thing that is past tense

Can you imagine where we would be without rapping

Life isn't as beautiful if it doesn't have blackness

Preach

Yo, H-I-S-T-O-R-Y, that's me

You know I come from the source

So I like to endorse Elohim

Master of everything, we go way back

Been with me since heritage was in chains

Inheritance in my veins

Carried us through this age, this gospel truth

Has ravished death, hell and the grave

Ordaining freedom for slaves and setting right what was made wrong

It's more than just the words to a song

It's life, it's righteousness in melody form

He shaped, he knew us when our backs went to the sun

Plotting to figure out in which direction we'd run

He won, uh, in which direction we'd run

We won

Ay, twenty-eight days

The shortest month that sits in a year

But crafted for recognition, the culture we made it here

Triumphantly weathered a storm, these stories sound so familiar

As I count down the days, man, it couldn't get clearer

Go getter, my people was always destined for some

Like Whoopi, achieving honors, my God is second to none

Oh, happy day, but a color red meant for all to stop and see

Set it aside to move the traffic like Moses did on the sea

I'm on go, word to Garrett Morgan

Crazy how we walked and made these moves and yet it's still important

You feel me now the word, these things are short

History on the daily, compare the two, don't look confused

The life of Jesus is a baby

Look at Sojourner, Frederick, Rosa, Dr. Martin Luther King

Just like you and me was guided by the same book in which we read

Ay, I heard him say, history and legacy never should be forgotten

The same way we read in Luke bout trees not bearing when it's rotten

Let's get it

Look, we only pledge allegiance to the flag of Jesus

And to the ones who used to lead us, we gladly take the baton

The foundation was set, so we know what we're standing on

He garnished us in his peace, so we'll never be up in arms

They try to harm us and bomb us, appease us with an obama

But we were just sing the psalms, no need to sound the alarm, okay

As we reflect on those who stood before us, the giants that lit the torches

To set a path to a brighter day

We thank the Lord, the only one could afford

To pay the price for the lives of those who died upon the way

The faith to wade in the water, knowing they on the way

The cages, they kept us in the dark in for 80 days

Never forget where we started

We bless those who thought life was something to fight for

In their hardest times, so that we can live life to the farthest

Ends of the earth, we say peace to the Godhead

Look, descendant of a slave, when cotton was the industry

been knew the Gospel from the cross to the lynching tree

Then until infinity he really be holding us down

We been spirit filled but literally our moment is now

You seen the sweat of our history on Harriet's brow

Give us the ball so we can carry it now no foul

Aye look Sorry for offending you

Black black as the inner tube

Back waxing on interludes beatitudes with tennis shoes

Breaking thru these finitudes and solid as the concrete

Been knew our place like the Lord gave us assigned seats

Looking at my skin—pretend they don't fear me

But try to close doe's my bow just see deer meat
