[Outro: Larry Hoover Jr. & Kanye

West]

Cm C#What up, Ye? This Larry Hoover Jr

First and foremost, I wanna thank

Fm7you for taking the fight for my

father to the Oval Office

D# You might not have been the only

one that could've did that

CmBut you were the one that did do

that

C# And with your assistance, we can

Fm7 continue to let the world take part

in this fight

D#You know, to me, it kinda feels like

Me, my mother, my brothers, and my

Cmkids

C#Have all been incarcerated through

this journey

Fm7And we haven't even been to jail

D#We have been looked at and treated

as criminals

For being a part of this family

Cm C#My father's truth and the reality

that he raised me in

Fm7Is that he wanted to make a change

in this community (Tell me if you

know someone that needs)

'Cause the conditions in this

D#capitalist society is what made him

And it is what made the children of

today

Cm C#After twenty-five years of bein'

locked down, twenty-three and one

Fm7My father has not called any shots

D#from one of the most secure and

segregated prisons in the world

CmAnd will not, once released, call

C#any shots for the Gangster Disciples

Fm7If my father's intentions were to

D#lead us to death, destruction

Into the Hell that he has had to

live in for the past twenty-six

years

Cm C# Man, he would be dead to me

Fm7 I didn't sign up for that

D#I didn't stay on this journey this

long for that

All my life, man

Cm C#I've been waitin' for my father to

come home

Fm7They told me when I graduate eighth

D# grade, he would be home

CmThen they told me when I

C#graduate from high school, he would

be home

Fm7 I went away to Morris Brown, I

D# graduated and he still ain't home

Now I'm a adult, and my daughter

Cm C#went away to college and graduated

Fm7He still not home

D#Now even more than that, my son, he

graduated eighth grade and we still

waitin'

Cm C#Matter of fact, he hasn't hugged,

kissed, or touched any of his

grandchildren

Fm7 And they haven't been able to

touch they grandfather

D#Even though it is not seen that way

for some of us

Cm C#But for many of us, Larry Hoover is

a beacon of hope for his community

Fm7Who deserves to breathe free air

D# N.C.

Free my father (Jesus), Mr. Larry

Hoover Sr. (Lord)
