Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

O say can you

20,000 Negro leagues beneath the

Sea-foamed clouds laced with

Ink that stains when rains

Makes books of trees at

Once upon a dawn’s early light

Pawn, bishop, knight, children of night

May queens take kings hereafter, thereafter

The trickling sands demand that our decisions be timely

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Offspring of spring

Reborn, pledged and sworn

The risen ash of a flag burned and torn

I’m the

Blood of the womb

The risen tide of the moon

The dark side that the light cannot hide

I’m the

Pages of history

Read between the lines

The living truth behind your symbols and signs

I’m the

Son of a minister

Love of a teacher

My mother taught me well so I rebel

I’m the

Bell retolled

Yet a story untold

The hidden force behind a rock that was rolled

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

O say can you

20,000 Negro leagues beneath the

Sea-foamed clouds laced with

Ink that stains when rains

Makes books of trees at

Once upon a dawn’s early light

Pawn, bishop, knight, children of night

May queens take kings hereafter, thereafter

The trickling sands demand that our decisions be timely

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

Lift every voice and sing

Lift every voice and sing

And you don’t stop, it don’t stop

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged

I’m the

Omni American born of beats and blood

The concert of the sun unplugged
