lyrics

(Verse 1)
I'm a man with integrity in this match with the devil see,
Waller tryna get me but he'll never touch the better me,
Tellin all my people that we want what he got,
But we just wanted freedom
You see, a slave dont tell em nothin but a leader live for somethin,
You read a book for knowledge now they see the challenge comin,
I'm lookin for support so I'm runnin to the North,
And ima teach em how to read the message back and forth/
Listen, put down ya shovel cuz leave tonight,
And we aint comin back until we see the better life,
I'm not a vegetable so I gotta let them know,
Living life in seperation is just livin wrong,
Ima slave tonight but slave to my own people,
I see u lookin buddy but you need a bigger peep hole,
Uh, and its a major part of major life,
And this a story bout a hero tryna save a life,

(Hook)
Nightjohn Nightjohn
Where u at
Nightjohn Nightjohn
Bring it back

(Verse 2)
Just got back so now tryna teach my people,
We just tryna be on top cuz we aint tryna be no equals,
While I'm readin to my fam I get caught cuz poor plannin,
So they chopped off my toes but ya boy still standin,
See, Sarnsy baby don't u worry bout a thing cuz we gon make it outta reading read his face and then you'll see that he's the most terrified person and the whole planet,
Might not need to take the freedom cuz he might just hand it,
Uh, don't write words on the dirt girl,
Cuz if u do somebody gonna get hurt girl,
The man will hold ya back and if u let em he gon lead ya,
His sins are complicated he's created for the reaper,
And Sarny your a keeper,
So keep ya mind right,
And u gon be a teacher
Just when the times right,
And if I die tonight hope the lesson was enough,
I love my people take this message and just read it up,

(Bridge)
See, weeping may endure for the night but I know joy comes in the morning,
If u believe it how will u achieve it?
Remember who u are
U are brightest star
Stay close and don't move far
Because we leavin tonight!!!!!
