jp reynolds - black codes lyrics

[hook]
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
and lord knows
we wanna be free

[verse 1]
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
yea, so come and see you know we will
it don’t matter what the evils throw, we glow up still

(hook)

[verse 2]
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’ to 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, we glow

(hook)

part ii

will you speak for me if i fly away?
don’t let them turn me into just another name
sing about me
don’t you let my light fade
away, away, away, away
this world got too cold for me
i know you got plenty more to see
i needed to give my soul some peace
away, away, away, away

rest in peace, isaiah
rest in peace, sam sam
rest in peace to all the lost ones
you’ll forever have a seat at the table
we will never forget
no matter how far you are
you’re right here

[interlude]
[henriette freeman]: that’s all right! just go ahead and do what they don’t expect. you’ve been doing this your whole life. you got that gumbo boy!
