[Neuromancer]

Nah Lift every voice is the only 1

That's what I thought.

 

[blaccbeard]

...its actually two..take ur pick

Nah it's an old negro spiritual, but it's not the black national anthem.

 

[fckyoupayme]

I have the entire anthem memorized. Including the stanzas that people usually don’t know exist. I had to recite it in elementary in order to go to junior high and never forgot

 

[Clayton Endicott]

Learned it as a kid at a community center me and my brother used to go to during summer vacation. We sang it to start every morning

Pops swore up and down it was two when I was younger

 

[blaccbeard]

Where did y'all go to school where u had to learn it??


I grew up on military bases so you know it was never mentioned in my school's.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

I heard it a few times as a young adult. But can't sing a word of it on cue.

 

[blaccbeard]

I feel like you should have to upload a .wav of u singing this song to prove your skin on here if somebody calls u a cac LMFAO.

 

[big bun]

[Rusty Kuntz]

We sang it at church AT LEAST once a month when I was growing up and every Sunday in February

It's so poetic; I don't think I could forget it even if I tried.
