[sarah, spoken]
come on, coalhouse
it doesn’t matter

[coalhouse]
we’ll see justice, sarah
and plenty of men
who will stand up and give us our due

[town hall bureaucrat, spoken]
well, you can sign another complaint, mr. walker
but volunteer firemen are not munic-p-l employees
and therefore do not come under the jurisdiction of the city
i’m sorry

[second bureaucrat, spoken]
i’m still tracing your first complaint, mr. walker
are you sure you filed it with this office?
let me look again

[coalhouse]
justice, sarah
this is america

[booker t. washington, spoken]
we must exhibit patience, self-control, forbearance
and dwell above hatrеd and acts of cruelty
[coalhouse]
the law’s the law
thе law’s been broken
why should i turn the other cheek?
what about justice?

[people of harlem]
the bureaucrats and bunglers
the attorneys who smiled
the clerks and the officials
and the forms that were filed
so many roads to justice
around the bend

[black lawyer, spoken]
i want justice for our people so bad i can taste it
but i won’t waste my time on a mere case of vandalism
when i have real injustices to take to the courts

[people of harlem]
and every road a new dead end

[coalhouse]
i will not move
from where i’m standing
’til what’s mine is restored to me
i’m not some fool
i’m not their n-gga
i will have what’s fairly owed me
and ’til then, i will not marry
[mother, spoken]
we understand mr. walker’s outrage
we share it
all decent people do

[sarah]
he said, “wheels are turning for us, girl”

[mother, spoken]
but i’m sure there’s a way to settle this affair
without calling off the wedding

[sarah]
he said, “times are starting to roll”

[mother, spoken]
to be so close to the happiness you both deserve and have it come to this

[sarah]
well, i know he’ll get where he wants to
’cause he’s got that fire in his soul
said, “there’s justice, sarah
and plenty of men who will stand up and give us our due”
well, you’ll have your due, coalhouse
yes, you’ll have your due
