Louis York American Griots Intro (feat. Caroline Randall Williams)
This an American story
A fist up story
An our power story
I've read
I'll write this blue story
I'm talkin' a high low story
Uptown to down home
An old-new story
Kunta to Kendrick
A turned up, stripped down
Soundboard and gift box
You heard
What I said
This here is the call
This here is the work
This work is the joy
And by joy I mean chance
To show how we stay woke
And stay fresh lived past death
And we so strong
We survive off the sound we make
When we tell our story
