Take Names Off Ft. Nonchalant Savant

"An artist's duty (as far as I'm concerned) is to reflect the times. At this crucial time in our lives when everything is so desperate, when everyday is a matter of survival, I don't think you can help but to be involved." -Nina Simone

Long live Oluwatoyin Salau and every black girl and boy that has lost their life in this fight. The body is gone but the spirit remains.

Chorus:
I’m a long way from home 
watch on my soul
I need protection 
Cuz shit is getting aggressive 
Yeah yeah 
They beat me down for no reason
And got me face to face with demons
But I know 

Britt Verse:
I’m a woman of the people/
Not above but equal/ 
All we want is peace/
Nothing but blood on leaves/
Hate us no matter what we do/ 
Kneel or walk n the streets/
They wants us living in fear/ 
I say we fuck up they pockets/ 
Instead of lynching us, yeah/ 
Put all my people through college/ 
Im a long way from home/ 
Feeling like Christopher Wallace/
Watch over my soul lawd/
The demons know moor/
Look how we living/ 
I can’t take this image no more/ 
Head in a book/ 
but my mind on war and dollars/
try to change it I can’t/
Constant visuals/
of my people slaughtered/ 
Robbed and mistreated/ 
Still we undefeated/ 
Our culture you love it/
Our lives, you need it/ 
How many times/
We gotta talk about this shit/ 
How many times/
We gotta march up in this bitch/ 
Just wanna roll up and forget/
To many names on the list/
Just want to ball up both my fist/
But Your history’s all a lie/ 
My people all the shit/ 
If you feel me raise your fist/

Scolla Verse:
How dare you, look like me and take her life from her/ 
you stole her innocence, you took the light from her/
She lit the world, that little girl she was a bright summer/ 
she was the right someone/ 
She lead the fight for us/
As do many queens/
I don’t know much but I know I won’t be her enemy/
While she out defending me/
We suppose to be symmetry/
Instead we outta line for like the thousandth time/
These generational curses have got us traumatized/
Them shoes too tight, them hand me downs don’t fit/
She wears her heart on her sleeves/
Don’t wear her out with yo fists/
Don’t break her down with your words/
Just lift her up in her spirits/
Picture her going thru hell/
And still see God in her image/ 
We’re all a long way from home/
And we gon’ lose if the family feuds so we gotta stay strong/ 
And know that you’ve got a spot for the weight you’ve gotta take on/
This world gets heavy as hell but Atlas you ain’t alone/
Let make our way down this road/
