This song is dedicated to my Grandparents, and the generation of black folk who weren't afforded their due. I close my eyes and ask myself who would my Grandmother's mother become, had she or her mother's mother been rightfully given, Reparations.

"Reparations"
(feat. Tennessee Mass Choir)

Hmmmm
Hmmmm
Hmmmm

Ooooo

Grandaddy was a farmer
With skin as black as night he picked the cotton
Grandma was a teacher
With European features
Skin was lighter

And they had worry
Worry
Worry for their portion
Ain't have no money
Money
Money
For their toiling

But I've got one hand on the cross and the Bible
Devil comes like a thief when you're idle
Take the man take the land and the title
Mm

Reparations
I ain't talking bout no dollar
Yeah my people want there power
When I'm gone don't bring me flowers
When you know what's yours is ours

My people want no favors
Ain't asking for no handouts for our neighbors
Don't need no conversation
Just proper compensations for our labors
Hey hey hey

But I've got one hand on the cross and the Bible
Devil comes like a thief when you're idle
Took the man took the land and the title
Mmm

Reparations
I ain't talking bout no dollar
Yeah my people want their power
When I gone don't bring me flowers
When you know what's yours is ours
Ooooh

Oh it's just fair
Oh it's just air
Oh it's just fair
Oh it's just fair

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
