F.B.A.'s the title Freedman is the status
We survived the drought, our roots are deep, so we ain leaving like a cactus
We're the foundation and wealth of this nation
We've been building for generations with no compensation
So if you ain't talking 'Cut the Check' then cut the conversation
Our Declaration is "Pay us our Reparations"
If you ain't talking 'Cut the Check' then cut the conversation
Our Declaration is "Pay us our Reparations"






We defied the odds and reified dreams
We're certainly certified by our deified genes
The enemy thought we were pacified, terrified beings
Till people like Dessalines came and clarified things
We are verified kings, vilified never mollified
Sanctified so it seems, our power can't be quantified
We're perseverance personified, amplified no attenuation
Identified as God's carnified iteration
We been oppressed for twenty five generations
Still we survived, thrived, diversified, and devised innovations
Now they're mortified, cuz as we scrutinize who they glorified
They're horrified, to find that our resolve has been fortified
Don't just blame forty-five, blame the forty-four before
And the Popes, they'll all be in hell before they close the door
And you know, it's been testified before two-thirds have got to go
They ain't on code, just cuz you look like me don't mean that they my bro
No, we gotta cull the coons, they comfortable in their oppression
Liberation of my people's my profession, pass the weapon
Yes I'm qualified, My word is law soon as I say it
It get codified, written in stone it petrified,
it can't be modified, i'm bonafide and you been notified
now witness this like its getting notarized
the dignified signified and specified the objective
the directive is justified so justice is manifested
ain't no resting till we've rectified systemic oppression
and nullified being classified by complexion
our intensified energy unified against a mystified enemy
we'll have liquified, all that they've solidified instantly
