Degrees of Freedom

let’s get right into it

straight out the gate

kick in the door

horns blazing

the rhythm, yeah that’s the rhythm coming

[ that’s the rhythm coming for you

better pack your bags

all your bullshit

all your lies

let’s go

let’s get going

get up

get on up and get to it

this is just the beginning

see this is how we begin

see this is just the beginning

hold on

hold on the rhythm the rhythm

gonna get you the rhythm the rhythm

this is a spiritual conversation ]

you can find the door, the exit

leave us be

leave us being

leave us creative to go handle the real science

leave us, let us be

let us gather up all the honey

sweet honey

sweet honey

you see my degrees of freedom

you see my degrees of freedom

inside of the high-rise brick buildings

under the innocence of fear

running home

running home

running home

under the innocence of fear

running home

in a world where color is anti-black

and the rainbow is met with a cohesive interference

a collapsing light

swallowing all the lessons

and they say it ain’t no justice only sorrow

i say the acknowledgement of sorrow is the first step toward justice

the first step toward justice

let the band play at the repass

one day we all will be returning home

let the band swing and wail

let the horns cry

let the horns cry out

scream out

it won’t be long

it won’t be long
