“If one of us is chained. . . None of us are free”
*why ain’t nobody talking about him saying that? But they talking about surrounding yourself with people that out lights in yo eyes.*
Come on now. That part his me hard. Ain’t none of us free until all our brothers who deserve it out. Until all of us who are wrongly accused and attacked and MURDERED are justified.
