Loren Jamal - Abraham Lincoln Lyrics

I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
You know it's the wrong thing
All those cats on Wall Street
Thieves that get away free
With no repercussions
But people here on my street
Get shot down with a Slurpee
Suddenly we're all a threat and that's not justice
Black man works a day job
Black man works a night job
Black man works a side job
But he can't make ends meet
White man works a day job
Bossing 'round the black one
Slavery is back
The office name, "Plantation"
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I can't keep the pace it's
Too fast for my taste and
If you're in the race
Does that make you racist?
History repeating, teachers are misleading
Founding fathers are so great (Allegory)
Color is a factor
Don't tell me it's not cuz
We can fight the same war
But I'm sure you'll win it
If you don't believe it
Then why do you teach it
I need a better reason
To pledge allegiance
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
(I'll be back) There's a hundred thousand reasons why I want to be set free
Too many restrictions on peace and liberty
Waiting for the change that's been in work for centuries
Freed to be lead aimlessly, back to slavery
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I can't even drive in my Lincoln
Without you pulling me over
I'm not the one that you're thinking
Guess I'm lucky like a two-leaf clover
Martin was dreaming
It's not real cuz we're losing
I don't know Mr. Lincoln
I think they've stopped your movement
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
There was a southern boy
He used play outside everyday
Then one day, a man in uniform came his way
The boy was scared for good reason
So he quickly ran away (Free me Abraham)
Was he in the wrong place?
He was barely thirteen, 12 years a slave
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
Free me Abraham
Seek and ye shall find
Looking for justice?
What kind of justice are you looking for today?
Sorry
We're all out of injustice
Free me Abraham
