Freedom Heights (A Song For Joshua Glover) - Kardinal Offishall, Jully Black, Savannah Ré

I am stronger than my body gives me credit for

Been through some things, I’ve seen some things, yeah

One of the many, so many lives were slain

Night and day I fought the pain, held on to faith

Until my freedom came

No matter how hard it gets, or how bad it all seems

I’ll never give up, that’s not in my blood

Sweat and tears falling down from my face

No way I’ll let someone take my place

I fought so hard to reserve this space

I’m coming for everything that’s mine

Life has prepared me for this time

Out of the darkness I’ll still shine

New levels, new heights

I’m coming for everything that’s mine

Life has prepared me for this time

Out of the darkness I’ll still shine

New levels, new heights

If this coffee, like cocoa, like butter, pigment is a target

So be it then

See the power like roots goes so deep in

From the darkest of depths we still beaming

Believing, 'cause brothers are deeper than water

Often imitated, never duplicated

Forever leading the charge

Though I walk through the valley

I shall feel no others see you’re with me

You make me lie in greener pastures

And you made a place for me to eat

Oh in front of my enemies

I’m coming for everything that’s mine

Life has prepared me for this time

Out of the darkness I’ll still shine

New levels, new heights

I’m coming for everything that’s mine

Life has prepared me for this time

Out of the darkness I’ll still shine

New levels, new heights

New levels, yo

For all the blood spilled in every ocean

For every cold murder that they justify

We savages?

Yo I reject the notion

They spoke of 40 acres just to pacify

Shackle the mental, never the energy, huh

I know why they taught us love thy enemy, huh

J Glover my brother, yo we acknowledge you

Spirit of the ancestors we gotta follow through

No matter how hard it gets, or how bad it all seems

I’ll never give up, that’s not in my blood

Sweat and tears falling down from my face

No way I’ll let someone take my place

I fought so hard to reserve this space

I’m coming for everything that’s mine

Life has prepared me for this time

Out of the darkness I’ll still shine

New levels, new heights

I’m coming for everything that’s mine

Life has prepared me for this time

Out of the darkness I’ll still shine

New levels, new heights

I’m coming for everything that’s mine

Life has prepared me for this time

Out of the darkness I’ll still shine

New levels, new heights

I’m coming for everything that’s mine

Life has prepared me for this time

Out of the darkness I’ll still shine

New levels, new heights
