Lyrics

Now I know y’all like your quiet towns,
Porch swings, flags, and Jesus sounds.
But let me pull the mask off clean—
Ain’t all of us free in this land of dreams.
And somewhere ‘tween the hymns and heat,
I learned not all tradition’s worth keepin’ sweet.

If you think I come in peace, bless your heart,
Cause honey,
You ain’t seen a f*cking riot yet.

Y’all say “heritage,” I see hurt and chains,
That flag you fly? It’s covered in names.
Not the kind you toast to or pray for at night,
But the ones that hung from trees just outta sight.

You think a 4-wheel drive and a Bible make you right,
While you vote to strip folks of their basic human rights.
Open up wide for this medicine darlin’, it’s going to be bitter but freedom ain’t just for your kin—
It’s for the brown, the Black, the queer, the trans, the immigrant within.

White sheets weren’t just linen—they were weapons with names,
Lynching trees and courthouse games.
If my grandpa heard y’all bless what the devil conceived,
He’d gut your gospel and laugh while you grieved.

And let you know, boys, You ain’t seen a fckin’ riot yet,

Garrett Morgan gave you your green light lanes,
Shirley Chisholm walked so power had names.
Cesar picked crops and raised his voice,
While your grandpa’s paper called it a “choice.”

Bayard Rustin planned that march you quote,
But he kissed a man, so y’all missed that note.
Fred Hampton fed the kids and paid the price,
But the system you praise carved out his life.

See, I love this land, but I ain’t blind,
I know the scars run deep in time.
So miss me with your Confederate stain,
And you can be my kin folk, I’ll stand ten toes down screaming I don’t know your fucking name.

I ain’t afraid of change—
I’m afraid of standing still while good folks break.

This ain’t about erasin’ history. It’s about watchin’ it die publicly and namin’ who fed it. And if you think your white skin buys absolution, You ain’t country—**you’re just a scared little bitch.

So if white is your crown and hate is your crest,
Then fucking Die on that hill—I’ll tuck you in with the rest.
