Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Confront the day, I want a way to make sense of it

Yeah, it's amaze-ment

The tint of the world and how they see you

Ye already said they are us as black beetles

Black people, open Hebrews, let it speak to

The Savior inside, you'll see why the world needs you

Cathedral, black bodies fallin' in the hands

And the clutches of descendants of the Dutchmen

Anglo motherfuckas that don't love us

Wranglers it's in their genes to cuff us

We the tribe of Levi

Cut them jeans knee high

I think that it would be wise to read the book of Eli

Jah Muhammad

And see why we prominent

Life's precious, all blessings upon it

Our mother's grandmothers should be called iconic

Life's precious, all blessings upon it

[Verse 2]

I don't know what we should call it

Some say it's love

Some call it lust

They say that we're free but we fallin'

So what should we call it?

Blood on the leaves, it ain't autumn

The weight is so heavy, it hurts underneath

Don't it seem like we got it the hardest?

And we keep on fallin'

[Verse 3]

They say racism, man, it don't stop

They talk sexism, yeah, it don't stop

Americanism, yeah, it don't stop

You gotta get that wisdom and get your glock

Before they hit your block

With the National Guard

Yeah, you protected by a compassionate God

We hunting for jobs

Being hunted by squads

It's a small world, we wanted at large

America's most neglected and arrested

That's why your vaccine, I gotta second guess it

We don't know what your shooting in black kings and black queens

Plus your health record ain't really that clean

We don't forget like Nat King

What happened in Tuskegee

We gettin' over high blood pressure and diabetes

Like trees we fall in the wilderness of America

Is it you don't hear us or don't care for us?

[Verse 4]

I don't know what we should call it

Some say it's love

Some call it lust

They say that we're free but we fallin'

So what should we call it?

Blood on the leaves, it ain't autumn

The weight is so heavy, it hurts underneath

Don't it seem like we got it the hardest?

And we keep on fallin'

[Verse 5]

Once upon a time there was a black man

They loved him when he shot ball they loved him when he ran

They loved him when he rapped

They loved him when he danced

But really didn't love him when he was out with his fam

Couldn't love him in the hood or sellin' CDs

And couldn't love her when in the house sleep

I'm wonderin' if it's love, if it's really love at all?

'Cause in that type of love we fall

[Verse 6]

I don't know what we should call it

Some say it's love

Some call it lust

They say that we're free but we fallin'

So what should we call it?

Blood on the leaves, it ain't autumn

The weight is so heavy, it hurts underneath

Don't it seem like we got it the hardest?

And we keep on fallin'

[Verse 7]

Ooh, we keep fallin'

Ooh, we keep fallin'

Ooh, we keep fallin'

Ooh, we keep fallin'
