Brothas & Sistas

Hope in the face of difficulty

Hope in the face of uncertainty

The audacity of hope

In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us

The bedrock of this nation

The belief in things not seen

A belief that there are better days ahead

I said brother

Ain't it time to act

Like our mommas taught us

Better than that

Everytime someone's rude

Its a test of your manhood

Hey brother

We got a job to do

You're on stage

The world is beggin' you to lead

Our artistic and cultural

Back into something intellectual

Yeah

Don't be discouraged

I know there'll be ups and downs

(Just have the courage)

Yeah

Change in the world starts with self

Hey

Hey there brother

What you gonna do when ...(?)

Change the rules

Hey sister

Best to be a resident

Take the sharp eye (?) and common sense

The ...(?) is watchig you

See (?) the obstacles

We live in a zoo

Where the president, bull, donkey, and elephant

The audacity of hope

In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us

My sister

Workin' overtime

So you can keep up with the ... (?)

The family, too

The strength of your soul is evdient

But to leave the father out is a detriment

My sister

Forget politics

I say the revolution starts with the PTA

Teach our daughters to be queens

And our sons wave off these strings

Don't be discouraged

Tomorrow is a brand new day

Baby, you're worth it

Together we will lead the way

Hey there brother

Watcha gonna do?

...(?) forgot to change the rules

My sister

Best to be a resident

Take the sharp eye (?) and common sense

The ...(?) is watchig you

See (?) the obstacles

We live in a zoo

Where the president, bull, donkey, and elephant

Party at our expense

They party at our expense

I say to them tonight

There is not a liberal America

And a conservatie America

There is the United States of America

There is not a black America

A white America

A latino America

An Asian America

There's the United States of America

Freedom comes to those who work for it

Say, freedom comes to those who work for it

Freedom comes to those who work for it

My sister, freedom comes to those who work for it

My sister, freedom comes to those who work for it

My sister, freedom comes to those who work for it
