Trey Knowles’ “Grab My Hand”—born out of his Hate Chicago 60606 Comedy—is a heartfelt song of apology and healing. It carries an empowering message that uplifts every Black American brother and sister with love, compassion, and understanding. In the lyrics, Knowles reflects on the lasting effects of mistreatment and how generations of struggle have left many disconnected from their true identity, “eating off the belly of the beast.” Yet, the song offers hope and reassurance—reminding listeners that it’s okay, that God is with us, and that He is awakening us to rise and walk in His kingdom.
00:00Grab my hand my brother, grab my hand my sister, I love you, I just want you to be saved, yo I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk about you, I don't hate you, I love Chicago, I hate the sin of Chicago, you used to be just like you, I used to be a fool, I used to walk in your shoes, I had no clue,
00:29I didn't like to be told what to do, I thought the whole world was against me, calling every white man a racist, I flipped these pages, trying to define who I am, it's a struggle, but the story's just a piece of my puzzle, climbing Jacob's ladder, every time I reach to the top, I get pushed back down to the bottom, it was a trap, perseverance is where I'm at, truth of knowledge, everything started in the garden of Eden, new beginning, reborn again, starting with the son of man, Jesus Christ, that's my new life, and now I see, I was eating off the belly of the dead,
00:59beast, calling it black culture, that devil took my identity when he slayed me, and now you see, are you waking up with me, we were a side effect, but never rejected, sinfulness is not our nature, that's not part of black culture, God is calling us out,
01:14grab my hand my brother, grab my hand my sister, I love you, I just want you to be saved, I want to see you alive, coming out that grave, I'm Trey Nose, I'm going to pray for you, I want you to pray for me, thank you for listening, and thank you for paying attention,
01:31grab my hand my brother, and grab my hand my sister,
