Intro: D riff x 4
 
D riff                     D                       CaddD        D
He was a coal miner in the spring, blinded with its dusty resolutions
                 CaddD            D                   A         G
broke his back for higher contributions, now he'd take anything
              CaddD    D                       CaddD         D
we'll she was nineteen-seventy, burning like a cigarette long season
                CaddD        D                   A                      G
Heir to all her family's old treasons, she makes love hard like an enemy
           D
Oh ma he's dying
 
CHORUS:
 
CaddD D                              CaddD D
        And the river don't sleep,           when the water runs cold
CaddD D                              CaddD D
        and the calender burns,              as the story unfolds
CaddD D                              CaddD D
        and the valley spans miles,          when the mountain stands high
CaddD G                              CaddD A
        can't they let us run wild           for another midnight
 
Perhaps we're an election day, pumping hands and kissing the babies
ain't no time for shadowed doubts or maybes is there another way?
Or we're a stolen cadillac racing for a roadblock in the distance
flashing by a lifetime in an instance can we take it back?
oh ma he's dying, oh ma he's dying
 
CHORUS

Let Freedom Ring - MLK Rap Song
"Let Freedom Ring" by Flocabulary (featuring Trajik) From Hip-Hop US History. Listen to more US History in Hip-Hop here: www.flocabulary.com Video by Dashryder Productions. Lyrics: So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. I have a dream... It would take a nation of millions to hold us back. Brown v. Board opened some doors. Back then they called all blacks Negroes. We kick it off of the top sort of like cerebrals. Separate isn't equal, when in practice. My school is a shack. Mine is a palace! Do I have to sit in the back of the bus? That's wackness. Second class citizen on account of my blackness. They say to change the world, you've got to take a stand. Rosa Parks took a seat and changed the face of the land. Martin had a plan that even if you want to change the world that don't mean you've got to kill another man. Inspired by the people like Thoreau and Gandhi, a pacifist in the war without an army. 'Cause they can't harm me, no matter how the end seems. I wonder if Mr. King is still having dreams... Let freedom ring... I have a dream... Let freedom ring... This must become true... So let freedom ring... MLK had a dream, took it mainstream. Civil Rights Bill, Voting Rights Acts, they passed. Modern day Jesus ...
