Freddie Gibbs Winter In America

We’ve heard a lot from Freddie Gibbs this week after clips from his interview with Joe Rogan have gone viral. The rapper talked about shooting crackheads while also discussing the demise of R. Kelly’s career, but when he’s not sharing his stories on podcasts, the rapper is grinding out new music in the studio. On Friday (February 26), Gibbs’s addition to the Black History Always – Music For The Movement Vol. 2 EP was released and it came in the form of a cover of famed poet and performer Gil Scott-Heron’s “Winter in America.”

The second volume of the EP follows the first instalment, I Can’t Breathe, that featured artists like Rapsody, Terrace Martin, and Robert Glasper.

Freddie Gibbs – Winter In America

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Back in the city
Yeah

[Verse 1]
From the Indians, yeah
We welcomed the pilgrims, yeah
And to the buffalo that once ruled the plain
Like the vultures in the dark clouds
Looking for the rain
Looking for the rain
Said, I’m looking for the rain
Yeah, I’m looking for the rain

[Verse 2]
Just like the cities staggered on the coastline
In a nation that can’t take much more, yeah
Like the forest buried underneath the highway, highway
Had a chance to grow
I never had a chance to grow

[Chorus]
And now it’s winter, yeah
Winter in America, yeah
And all the healers been killed
Or sent away
People know it’s winter, yeah

[Verse 3]
The Constitution, yeah
A noble piece of paper, would free society
Struggled, but they died in vain
And now democracy is just ragtime on the corner
And we hoping for some rain
I’m steady hoping for some rain

[Chorus]
It’s like it’s winter, yeah
Winter in America, yeah
And all the healers been killed
Or sent away
But they know it’s winter
Lord knows it’s winter
Lord knows it’s winter

[Post-Chorus]
(Winter in America, yeah)
(And all the healers been killed)
(Or sent away)
(People know it’s winter)

[Outro]
Life in the city
Winter in America
Life in the city
Winter in America
Winter, winter
Winter, winter
