Geelow45 - Tulsa Greenwood Lyrics

In Tulsa, 1921, a city in despair,
Black Wall Street thriving, but darkness was in the air.
Change hands of wealth by barrels of a gun,
No rest, no peace, until justice is won.
With ashes, bombs, guns, and flame,
They tried to erase our name.
Justified in their eyes, with no shame,
But Greenwood's legacy will forever remain.

Greenwood, hear the name, echo in the night,
A testament to our strength, our fight.
Though they tried to bury us, we'll never die,
Remnants of Black Wall Street, reaching for the sky.

From the ruins, we rise, stronger than before,
The scars of the past, we proudly wore.
We reclaim our home, our rightful place,
With resilience and grace.
Their deeds won't be forgotten, their crimes won't fade,
But we'll build anew, from the ashes they made.
Their legacy tainted, their power undone,
As Greenwood's spirit shines like the morning sun.

Greenwood, hear the name, echo in the night,
A testament to our strength, our fight.
Though they tried to bury us, we'll never die,
Remnants of Black Wall Street, reaching for the sky.

So let the world know of our history,
Of the resilience and the victory.
We honor the past, but look to the future,
With determination, we'll continue to nurture.
The echoes of injustice, they may still remain,
But Greenwood's spirit will forever reign.
For we are the descendants of those who stood tall,
And Greenwood's legacy, we'll proudly recall.

Greenwood, hear the name, echo in the night,
A testament to our strength, our fight.
Though they tried to bury us, we'll never die,
Remnants of Black Wall Street, reaching for the sky.
