"All I Want" lyrics

All I want for Christmas is my freedom
These common laws don't apply to me the way I read them
Before I ever join them, I'ma beat them
All I hear is empty promises, but I don't need them
All I want for Christmas is a little bit of honesty
Cause my industry be struggling with modesty
Another policy written on our lives
Neighbors getting richer as they listen to our cries
All I want for Christmas is the truth
Cause now I got the proof, I should've had it in my youth
Now I'm walking back inside the booth
We say we going up, then why we jumping off the roof?
All I want for Christmas is the slightest bit of hope
A rifle with a scope for another racist trope
All I want is my mule and 40 acres
And all the places it could take us, for real

All I want for Christmas from my wish list
Is every gift bought from a black business
School loan forgiveness
All I want for Christmas is stocking stuff to the fullest
Not rival blocks for rifle stocks being stuffed with bullets
All I want for Christmas, stop clout chasing an audience
Stop lynching us, hanging us from trees as ornaments
All I want for Christmas is my brother Jarell home
No longer phoning from a cell using a cell phone
All I want for Christmas is new music
Lies on the news proven
Less hate, no more school shootings
All I want for Christmas is wreaths on doors as usual
Not grieving, more laying wreaths on floors at funerals
All I want for Christmas is carols, less gun violence
Put away pistol barrels, sirens become silent
All I want for Christmas, Santa Claus
Cops understand the laws
And stop arresting us with their cameras paused
