Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What happen when a king wanna go back to that **** in him?
Or the redeemed wanna go back to that sinner in him?
Or the sober wanna go back to that liquor sippin'?
Or the forgiven won't forgive their own brother or sister?
I get it, I feel the pressure, I can't breathe
Shed so many tears at night, it's like I can't see
We lost too many in the struggle now, so I can't leave
But I lost my brother to that struggle shit, and I can't grieve
The type of trauma, make you feel like these walls are just collapsing in
Type of shit that makes a conscious rapper wanna snap again
Make Dr. King grab his pistol and just start blastin' it
Make Blacks, wanna kill Blacks, for killin' Blacks again
Make **** wanna be proud to be an African
Make the world wanna acknowledge that we African
James Brown, fist in the air, we Black and proud again
Said, James Brown, "I'm Black and I'm proud", sing it loud again
[Verse 2]
They don't know your name
They won't know your pain
They won't help you climb
We're in this alone
Never change
Never change
Never change
No, we're in this alone
[Verse 3]
Your degrees can't save you
And neither can your fame
Or 100,000 followers who all tweetin' your name
Them 100,000 followers can't help you bear this pain
You born alone, you die alone, you leave the way you came
I just hope that my lungs and my heart still good, because
These backwoods and these black hoods are toxic
It's like it's tryna claim a black man life
Power to the sisters tryna be a black man wife
Despite the black man's plight to pipe as many as he could
Black man get a wife, if you really know what's good
Get your queen, build your throne, start your family, build a home
Miss me with that misogynistic shit that you be on
'Cause the black woman is God!
I seen it for myself
And you can't cheat on God without lyin' to yourself
I think the world of you
When you think the world don't love you
I always got your back, you remind me of my mother
[Verse 4]
They don't know your name
They won't know your pain
They won't help you climb
We're in this alone
Never change
Never change
Never change
No, we're in this alone (Stand up)
[Verse 5]
Whatever you have done to the poor, you've done unto me
That's a message from the king of kings to these racist police
That's a message to these companies profitin' from disease
And that's a message to you **** killin' brothers in the streets
Wake up partner!
Do you know what time it is?
Do you understand in this life what your assignment is?
The moment is precious, do you know how divine this is?
I speak from the spirit whenever I'm spittin' rhymes like this
'Cause this verse be church for the unchurched
Truth to my every breath
This is life after death, and I ain't even buried yet
I just choose to live for something greater
Forgive the ones who hate us and trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation as we chase this paper
I know it's vain that some of us think that money can save us
Tell me how could you blame us?
When the conditions that we livin' in resemblin' hell
And they shoot us in our backs before they put us in jail?
[Verse 6]
They don't know your names
They won't know your pain
They won't help you climb
We're in this alone
Never change
Never change
Never change
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 7]
They won't know your name
They won't know your pain
They won't help you climb, no
We're in this alone
Never change (Yo, fist up in the air if you down with the movement)
Never change
Never change (Put your fist up in the air, let's go)
We're in this alone
[Verse 8]
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
Fist up for you and me
[Verse 9]
U-N-I-T-Y
U-N-I-T-Y
U-N-I-T-Y
U-N-I-T-Y
[Verse 10]
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
Fist up for unity
[Verse 11]
Fist up for you and me
Fist up for you and me
Fist up for you and me
Fist up for you and me
[Verse 12]
