I got told to go Africa

Why don't you take a joke, lighten up

Reckon I would, if I could just tackle the pre-conceived notions at the back of ya mind

Only then I might adjust

Whatever I find to enlighten ya kind

All heart, I decline to believe that divide is desired

I'll provide everything that I learn but in time

Once you realise the side of history you lie on

Everything you set your eyes on

We've seen you rise on pedestals, that's a high horse

When you ride on the skull of every child that you killed like Emmett Till

It's an eye for what?

Listen it weren't my fault but you brought us here

Now I'll show you what I'd die for

(Die)

Everything I'll give my life for

(Yeah)

Ones that's here, they survived for

(Yeah)

Yeah, you brought us here just to build, over there they was working fields

(Yeah)

Nothings changed dunno how it feels

Another day, another gap to fill

(Woah)

Know exactly what those statues willed, they were also on the battlefields

(Trust)

Coming home ain't no daffodils, ain't no roses

Just them loathing, and them chatting still

Paid off the owners made us back the bills

(What?)

Anger been loading, I'ma affi chill

'fore I crack a till, claiming back our mills

You gotta fix it up and make it real

Pass on these feelings when I make a will

Will I make it? Well, never can tell but I feel compelled

What they won't say yeah, I know I will

Yeah the prayers that the payment ain't in kind

Sure as hell ain't been kind, but there's time to make it right

Find a way if there's a will

But you got to do well

Yeah you got to do it well

Yeah you got to do it well, well, well

I got told I weren't black enough

Why don't you take a joke, lighten up

Next line, blick enough to light the room if I smiled in the dark

Don't you know we all black, even if light or dark (Word)

I decline to believe that divide is desired

Or that now is the time to bring up all the s

I would ride for my bruddas, proud of my sis (Believe)

Come a long way, but we got a long way

Messed me up as teen, that's a no brainer

When we get what we want, pull you to the side we can work it out later

But for now we need one aim

(One)

Making sure we blocking all lanes

(Lane)

Overflow this ain't all pain, this is joy, this is hope, this is rage

Different voices, different homes, different age

This is all change

(Change)

We can achieve if we all say, never accept none of the old ways

(Make it happen always)

You gotta fix it up and make it real

Pass on these feelings when I make a will

Will I make it? Well, never can tell but I feel compelled

What they won't say yeah, I know I will

Yeah the prayers that the payment ain't in kind

Sure as hell ain't been kind, but there's time to make it right

Find a way if there's a will

But you got to do well

Yeah you got to do it well

Yeah you got to do it well, well, well
