Lyrics

Greenwood Avenue in Tulsa Town
Called It Black Wall Street
Not just survivin’, business was thrivin’
Life was sweet
Proud to be helpin’ each other
Everyone lendin’ a hand
Built our own promised land on holy ground
In Tulsa Town
Finally white folks couldn’t stand it
They found a reason to attack
Hundreds dead, thousands were homeless
Some never came back
A century later I remember
Like it was yesterday
They burnt Black Wall Street down to the ground
In Tulsa Town
You might wonder why nobody told you
Why they never taught it at school
Keepin’ truth about race from the history page
It’s not the exception, it’s been a rule
I see a change in the minds of the young ones
Standin’ up, speakin’ up, speakin’ out
’Bout things like the massacre
In Tulsa Town
Greenwood Avenue, Tulsa Town
They called it Black Wall Street
Not just survivin’, business was thrivin’
Life was sweet
I’m so proud to be a survivor
Of that brave community
Black Wall Street will thrive again
In the twenty-first century
On holy ground, in Tulsa Town, in Tulsa Town
In Tulsa Town, in Tulsa Town
