Done Come Too Far (feat. Cedric Burnside)

Done Come Too Far Performed by Shemekia Copeland Down there in the basement of hell The children cry the women yell Hardly move screaming in pain All still trying to break those chains Almost died in those boats All these years later Still tryin' to steal our votes We done come too far to be gone Come too far to be gone If you think we're stopping You got it wrong We come too far to be gone Saw you at the counter turned away Workin' two jobs half the pay Everyday another excuse Freedom hung up by a noose Beaten bloodied thrown in jail God as my witness we ain't gonna fail We done come too far to be gone Come too far to be gone If you think we're stopping You got it wrong We come too far to be gone Tried everything to keep us down But now it's us standing our ground We'll be fighting a little longer What don't kill us makes us stronger What don't kill us makes us stronger The past is past hard, hard feelings Time to move ahead start with the healing Hear this voice strong and loud We're off our knees standing proud We're gonna keep on movin' on Without any fears We ain't reached the top But we can see it from here We can see it from here We can see it from here We done come too far to be gone Come too far to be gone If you think we're stopping You got it wrong We come too far to be gone
