Because the truth is, there is still so much work to do,” Common said in a statement. “The intention of the music is to channel all of our pain and outrage into something productive, inspirational, and good. It’s to help lead a movement into our next phase of the work to be done.”

Quotable Lyrics
My arrival wasn’t willingly, nah
But that’s chillingly the truth
Now I fear for shots from cops killing me
They on a hunt for the blood
And we the Auxilary
The Black power and love, I’m all of the above
