IN TRIALS AND TRIBULATION
THOSE WHO STOOD BY
WITHOUT HESITATION
THOSE WHO STOOD BY
HEARING MOTHER’S CRY
THOSE WHO STOOD BY
SEEING BABIES DYE
THOSE WHO TURN AWAY
WHEN THEY SAW OTHERS HATED
THOSE WHO TURN AWAY
THOSE WHO COULD HAVE STOPPED WHAT HATE CREATED
THEY NEVER SPOKE UP
WHEN THEY KNEW IT WAS WRONG
THEY KEPT TURNING AWAY
AS TIME MOVED ALONE
MORE KILLING, LYNCHING, AND BOMBS
A RACE , A SYMBOL OF THE DIRESPECTED
THEY FAILED TO REALIZE
WE WERE A RACE GOD PROTECTED
MARKS UPON THEIR SOULS
GOD WILL REMEMBER THEE
ON JUDGEMENT DAY
HEAVEN THEY WILL NEVER SEE
GOD GRANTED US ALL
TO BE FREE
HE NEVER CREATED YOU
TO BE SUPERIOR TO ME
HE CREATED US ALL
TO LOVE EACH OTHER
CREATED US
AS BIOLOGICAL SISTER AND BROTHERS
WHAT THE FLAG REPRESENT
THEY WILL FOREVER DEBATED
THEY WILL NEVER OWN UP TO
THE HATE IT CREATED
THEY MARCH UNDER A FLAG
A SYMBOL OF OPPRESSION
THEY MARCH UNDER A FLAG
OF HATEFUL MEN AGGRESSION
SOUTHERN HERITAGE
WE WILL NEVER FORGET AND HEAR
EVERY A NEW SOUTH IS RISING
EVERY DAY THE OLD SOUTH DISSAPPEARS
THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN
UNDER A FLAG OF DIFFERENT RACES
UNDER ONE LOVE
UNDER SMILING FACES
TO BE APART
DON’T STAND BY
REMEMBER THOSE DAYS
OF HEARING A DYING MOTHER’S CRY
DYING AT THE HAND OF HATE
DYING AT THE MESS
THAT THE FLAG HAS CREATE
