For hip hop heads who don’t wanna be black
Who love black people more than they love rap
For all the real friends who grieve for Black lives
‘steada diggin’ up dirt and tryin’ to justify
For all the white folks with the ears to hear
who don’t make black pain all about your guilt
Don’t make black rage all about your fear
Who never stay quiet when verdicts is unfair
Who join us in the fire stead’a stayin’ in the clear
‘Cause they know they ain’t free till we all get there
This the ally anthem
Rule number one
Make sure this track is not your favorite song
Gratitude to activists of every hue
Especially if you woke without havin’ a black boo
Ya do it ‘cause it’s right
And ya do it ‘cause it’s true
And ya do it ‘cause you love Fresh Prince and soul food
Ya do it ‘cause you think that my people is beautiful
So glad you do, y’all pretty fly too
Wit’ our boots to the ground
Fist in the air
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
Wit’ our boots to the ground
Fist in the air
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
For Daddys wit’ all daughters
Who ain’t wishin’ for sons
For sons brothers and fathers
Who love who they come from
For lovers of strong women
Who never intimidated
But celebrating their ladies
Like my baby the greatest!
For the male womanist
Killin’ their inner chauvinist
Never lookin’ for credit
For doin’ what should be obvious
Gender equality ain’t a noble belief
It’s basic humanity
Be glad that you ain’t a beast
Unafraid to release
emotion because you see
compassion and sympathy
is strength, don’t be weak
No man is free if just men are free
We fight for her rights but she take the lead
Wit’ our boots to the ground
Fist in the air
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
Wit’ our boots to the ground
Fist in the air
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
We ain’t gon’ stop ‘till we all get there
