lyrics

(Angela Davis – speech at women's march 2017)

From what our elders told us
We have come far
So much knowledge and wisdom
Bout the earth and the stars

From a line of black sovereignty
Black brilliance and black royalty
Black beauty and black diversity
Each one of us carries a burden today

Cause we've been tortured, been killed,
our treasures thrown away
twisted our minds, our Gods and Goddesses left behind
Incredible what humans can take
And yet we feel so drained
We got so much more
And we know what we're in this for

Chorus:
So we never give up
We done this for generations
Some had lost their faith but we never give up
No we're not done here
We won't stop here, no
We never give up
We done this for generations
Some had lost their faith
But we never give up, we never give up

And through the valleys of our worlds
The scent of strange fruits lingers on
Collectively dehumanized
Gear wheels in his collection
And it's been written in the core
Columns built on blood and bones
Trapped and too comfortable for
Deconstructing the mind by turning each and every stone

Tell me what would they find
Fruitful soil or dried up ground
I plant the seeds of our legends' legacies
We are bound to

(Chorus)
We will never give up
Never, never, never, never
(repeat till end)
