black codes - jp reynolds with the peaceandpower band lyrics

(switching, it’s a cold world)

let’s see how this flows tonight
feels good

black codes
code switching
it’s a cold world
survival spirit in it
got me feel so thorough
but lord knows
(i wanna be free)
oh no
familiar with the lows
but we ain’t slowing down
my people got somewhere to go
but lord knows
we wanna be free

let me holla at you ‘bout this target on my back
could it be paranoia?
confronted death a couple times
i’m feeling ready for you
angels flying over me
hey, how is heaven for you?
i know a lot of englishes
i swear it isn’t normal
one for the papers that they write up in the ivory tower
one for my people
let us shine
you know wе got the power
flowers in thе field fine flowing what we want to be
monsters come along so they can trample
want me underneath
‘fro grows towards the sun
i’m overcoming wonderfully
the light be touching me to tell me
tell your people come and see
hey
so come and see you know we will
it don’t matter what the evils throw
we glow up still

got me feeling like i’m not supposed to be here
make me want to stop and spark the tree, yea
make it legal and invest in school that’s free, yea
free all my people we need a heat check
we on a roll despite the cold cuts
i do not know what force could hold us
we got the soul the flow is robust
stay on this road i know i’m focused
oh, oh, oh
we gon rise up to the top
and we ain’t gonna stop
no matter what may block
no matter who the opp
no matter what the obstacles
in the end you gon talk about how we rose
oh yea
we gon’ win, get to breaking all your codes
yea, yea
in the wind, to the moon we gon’ float
oh, oh
it don’t matter what the evils throw, we glow
it don’t matter what the evils throw
say

black codes
code switching
it’s a cold world
survival spirit in it
got me feel so thorough
but lord knows
(i wanna be free)
oh no
familiar with the lows
but we ain’t slowing down
(my people got somewhere to go)
oh no no no no
hey
we wanna be free

(will you speak for me if i fly away?)
wherever you are listening
(don’t let them turn me into just another name)
i need you to put a peace sign over your heart
for all of the lost ones
who’ve gone on before us
(sing about me, don’t you let my light fade)
we’ve had a lot of loss
we’ve experienced communal grief
(away, away, away, away)
so much has been exposed
(this world got too cold for me)
so much has been revealed
(i know you got plenty more to see)
we need all types of healing
please keep that peace sign on your chest one time
(i needed to give my soul some peace)
(away, away, away, away)
and while you’re holding that peace
i need you to
call on those who’ve gone on before you
(away)
though they feel so far away
(away)
may they always have a seat at our table
(away)
yea, feel that
(away)
i need you to bring that peace sign
to a fist sign for the power
(away)
we need that peace and that power
(away)
ha
(away)
in the name of jesus
in the name of the ancestors
in the name of all that is holy
(away)
amen and ashé
