Juneteenth Freedom
Let it be written
Let it be so
The Emancipation Proclamation was written
But, everybody didn’t know
Those who heard were free
Word of freedom spread slow
There was no Instagram
No TikTok
Facebook or hashtag
To let the enslaved know they were free
Troups with freedom news
Arrived in Galveston, Texas two and a half years
After Emancipation
Now everyone knew
It was written
It was so
All owners must let our people go
