What up, Yank?
This is Larry [B] Hoof Jr.
First and foremost, I want to [Eb] thank you for taking the fight for my father to the Oval Office.
[Db] You might not have been the only one that could have did that, but you were the one that did do [B] that.
And with your assistance, we can continue to [Eb] let the world take part in this fight.
You know, to [Db] me it kind of feels like me, my mother, my brothers, and my kids [B] have all been incarcerated through this journey.
And [Eb] we haven't even been to jail.
We have been [Db] looked at and treated as criminals for being a part of this family.
My father's truth [B] and the reality that he raised me in is that he [Ebm] wanted to make a change in this community.
Because the conditions [Db] in this capitalist society is what made him and it's what made the children of today.
After 25 [B] years of being locked down, 23 in 1, [Eb] my father has not called any shots from [Db] one of the most secure and segregated prisons in the world.
And will not, once released, [B] call any shots for the gangsta disciples.
If [Ebm] my father's intentions were to lead us to death, [Db] destruction, and to the hell that he has had to live in for the past 26 years,
[B] man, he would be dead to me.
[Eb] I didn't say enough for that.
I didn't [Db] stay on this journey this long for that.
All my life, man, I've been [B] waiting for my father to come home.
They [Ebm] told me when I graduate [Db] 8th grade, he'll be home.
Then they told me when [B] I graduate from high school, he'll be home.
[Eb] I went away to Morris Brown, [Db] I graduated, and he still ain't home.
Now I'm an adult, and my daughter went away [B] to college, graduated.
He's still [Eb] not home.
Now even more than that, [Db] my son, he graduated 8th grade, and we still waiting.
Matter of fact, [B] he hasn't hugged, kissed, or touched any of his [Eb] grandchildren, and they haven't been able to touch their grandfather.
[Db] Even though it has not seemed that way for some of us, but for many of us,
[B] Larry Hoover is a beacon of hope for his community who [Eb] deserves to breathe free air.

Larry [Bb] Hoover Sr.

And if I die tonight will I see her in the afterlife?
[Db] But back to reality where everything's a tragedy.
And you better have a strategy or you could be a statistic.
[B] Little boy dies he just wanted a mystic.
[Eb] And mama steady crying cause she really the victim.

And an older boy just stuck with a picture painted pivot.

You [Eb] want revenge cause the pain feeling numb.
And [Db] her mom still doing good cause that's the only time she feel love.
Is it real love?
Do the scars [Ab] really heal [B] love?
From all the pain that been built up but [Eb] they don't feel us.
_ [Db] A week then flew by.
Big bro riding then he see the guy.
Set his little brother on the side bleeding from the [B] side.
He seeing red it's like he bleeding through his eyes.
To [Eb] see him dead the only thing that'll help the grieving up inside.
[Db] He even let him get they last meal.
You done with the streets after this this is last kill.
[B] He gotta show him that it's that real.
[Ebm] He ran up on him with the pipe like stand still.
[Db] You took my brother's life you made my mother cry.
Tell me one reason I shouldn't send you up to Christ.
[B] He said go ahead take my life I seen everything but Christ.

_ Uh huh in [B] the name of the true and living God.
[Eb] Thank you for bringing me up the rough side of the mountain like Earth.
[Db] Every knee bowed and every tongue confessed and paid homage to the monk.
Who visit robbed child like the loneliest dead for Monica.
[B] It's jail like arms Andronica coming through your monitor.
[Eb] Back from the great meander the son of man and the son of thunder.
[Db] I never rode the jigsaw the R6 or the Honda.
But I flew my Ducati through North America like Wakanda.
[B] Earthquakes will strike this nation for what Bush did to Rwanda.
[Eb] What the Clintons did to Haiti and down the street did to Ghana.
[Db] At the post lane they call me Toro Muto, El Negro Loco.
I shake the tectonic plate to the game if I lay [Abm] one vocal.
[B] The God is into Stella while you fellas remain local.
[Eb] My bars is like the pyramid temples of Paco Polter.
[Db] And sure as the DOJ confirmed these Iggy was real.
I could change the world like Dr.
Hoop with two pieces of steel.
[B] My sword and my microphone I swore to the Christ's throne.
But [Eb] when you great they wanted to you took a L.
Jose Gafil [Db] I'm in the fight here, fight here for what seems like life years.
My rugged cross and thorny crown squeeze out price tears.
[B] Thirty pieces of silver clout my P.F. price tear.
[Eb] It's a war outside, it's a war outside.
Just [Db] like the last days inside of me but more outside.

What up, Yank?
This is Larry [B] Hoof Jr.
First and foremost, I want to [Eb] thank you for taking the fight for my father to the Oval Office.
[Db] You might not have been the only one that could have did that, but you were the one that did do [B] that.
And with your assistance, we can continue to [Eb] let the world take part in this fight.
You know, to [Db] me it kind of feels like me, my mother, my brothers, and my kids [B] have all been incarcerated through this journey.
And [Eb] we haven't even been to jail.
We have been [Db] looked at and treated as criminals for being a part of this family.
My father's truth [B] and the reality that he raised me in is that he [Ebm] wanted to make a change in this community.
Because the conditions [Db] in this capitalist society is what made him and it's what made the children of today.
After 25 [B] years of being locked down, 23 in 1, [Eb] my father has not called any shots from [Db] one of the most secure and segregated prisons in the world.
And will not, once released, [B] call any shots for the gangsta disciples.
If [Ebm] my father's intentions were to lead us to death, [Db] destruction, and to the hell that he has had to live in for the past 26 years,
_ [B] man, he would be dead to me.
[Eb] I didn't say enough for that.
I didn't [Db] stay on this journey this long for that.
All my life, man, I've been [B] waiting for my father to come home.
They [Ebm] told me when I graduate [Db] 8th grade, he'll be home.
Then they told me when [B] I graduate from high school, he'll be home.
[Eb] I went away to Morris Brown, [Db] I graduated, and he still ain't home.
Now I'm an adult, and my daughter went away [B] to college, graduated.
He's still [Eb] not home.
Now even more than that, [Db] my son, he graduated 8th grade, and we still waiting.
Matter of fact, [B] he hasn't hugged, kissed, or touched any of his [Eb] grandchildren, and they haven't been able to touch their grandfather.
[Db] Even though it has not seemed that way for some of us, but for many of us,
[B] Larry Hoover is a beacon of hope for his community who [Eb] deserves to breathe free air.
Free my [Db] father, Mr.
Larry [Bb] Hoover Sr.
