Story Of Everything (feat. Chuck D, Andra Day & Gary Clark Jr.)

Sing

This story of everything, uh

Livin', dyin', lyin', denial

Sing

This story of everything, sing

Here's a story for you that'll make your head spin round

Some troubled soul walks into church and guns everyone down

What did that congregation do?

They forgave that boy somehow

Our do nothing congress, they never make mistakes

'Cause they don't show up to work except to give themselves a raise

The audacity of hope makes every bigot shake, oh, yeah

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

You can live, you can die

But I know we gotta try to get along

Get along

Livin', dyin', lyin', denial

On Main Street, USA, everybody's closing shop

'Cause them that's got get richer

It's the have and the have nots

My cousin stays on welfare, 'cause it pays more than a job

Oh, yes it does

Now every time they talk about the way it used to be

You keep on livin' in the past, don't do damn thing for me

Don't tell me how it was, I tell you how it needs to be

Oh, yes I will

'Cause that's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything, yeah

You can live, you can die

But I know we gotta try to get along

Livin', dyin', lyin', denial

Just hold them hands up, don't ya'll dare stop tryin'

Stompin' those feet and gasoline on these new seeds

Save these babies spinnin' on this merry go crazy

Breeze like the same Chuck verse I'm stuck in

Cursin' worse than the new blues, not stutterin'

What the O-M-G, S-M-H

Views of ratin', news of hatin', things get far gone if y'all waitin

My mama held me in her arms, the same as I hold mine

I say my prayers and tell my babies everything is fine

Sometimes I break down, these are surely troubled times

Oh, yes they are

'Cause that's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

You can live, you can die

But I know we gotta try to get along

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

You can live, you can die

But I know we gotta try

Woo, woo, woo

That's the story

Gotta make it better

Oh, we gotta change, change

(Story of everything, story of everything)

That's the story

(We're not gonna try)

Views of ratin', news of hatin'

Views of ratin', news of hatin' (Get along)

Views of ratin', news of hatin'

Things get too far gone, if y'all waitin' (Get along)

Views of ratin', news of hatin'

Things get too far gone, if y'all waitin' (Get along)

Get along (Try)

(To get along)

(Try)

(To get along)

(Come on, come on)

(To get along)

(Clap your hands, keep that hand up, keep that hand up)

(Throw them hands up, come on)

(Yep, it's the story of everything)

(All you gotta do is sing)

(To get along)

(This is the story of everything)
