Jim Crow
R&b, hip-hop, trapLyrics
[INTRO]
In the shadows of the past, echoes still remain,
Chains of division, they scream through the pain,
A time of oppression, a cry in the night,
Let’s bring the truth to the surface, let’s bring the light.
[VERSE 1]
Walking down the streets, where freedom was a dream,
With a hope in our hearts, we fight against the scheme,
Segregated lives, kept apart by the laws,
But deep down we knew that justice has its cause.
[CHORUS]
Oh, Jim Crow, your legacy can't hold us back,
With the strength of our voices, we’ll rewrite the track,
For every child dreaming beyond the divide,
We’ll break through the silence, we’ll reach for the sky.
[VERSE 2]
Schools segregated, water fountains marked,
What a cruel design, leaving humanity stark,
But stories of courage rose up from the fray,
With a march and a song, we are paving the way.
[CHORUS]
Oh, Jim Crow, your shadows can’t bind our soul,
With unity rising, we’ll reclaim our goal,
For every heart beating, longing to be free,
We’ll heal these old wounds, and create history.
[BRIDGE]
Tears shed and battles fought,
But the fire within us can’t be bought,
Through the struggles and strife,
We learned to unite,
With love as our armor, we’ll stand in the light.
[VERSE 3]
Through the years we’ve come, we’ve risen above,
With the spirit of hope and an unyielding love,
Yet the fight's not over, we still hear the cry,
Breaking the chains, reaching for the sky.
[CHORUS]
Oh, Jim Crow, your grip can’t hold us down,
With every step forward, we reclaim our ground,
For every voice lifted, calling out for change,
We’ll dance through the darkness, break free from the chains.
[OUTRO]
So here's to the future, lessons learned in the past,
With a vision of justice, a world that'll last,
Hand in hand together, we’ll rewrite the tale,
In the name of the dreamers, we shall not fail.
