Let it all Fall
Let it all fall
Let it all burn
Smoke and mirrors
Break in places with old fractures
Streets seek storefront justice
Shatter plate glass barriers
Steal away
Steal a TV. so you can see
What your eyes can't touch
Put wealth on a shelf
Make tip toe ballerinas reach for the sky
Let it all fall
Pieces of apple pie
Lie in the rubble of the present
Charcoal corpses make kindling
For the fire started in 1619
Pilgrims Patriots and Partisans
Become knights in white satin
Terrorize the night with bombs bursting in air
Stirring up spirits that swing from trees
Forever felons
Stuck in racist stasis
Hate hard as diamonds
Mined from the graves of slaves
Good ol' boys long for the good ol' days
When ni*ggers knew their place
Placed in plantations
Placed in projects
Place-ism
Placed in uncomfortable positions
Paying rent 401 years
Living dangerously
Dying anonymously
In season leaves yellow and fall
Let it all fall
Let it burn.....
