lyrics

Intro- Martin Luther King Jr.

(Verse)
Watch them paint me as a rebel,
For thinking this way,
Get on my level,
There’s a war going on outside,
I’m tryna tell you,
You can’t just sit home and just watch,
I recommend on the spot,
You be the change,
Cause we all that we got,
See the bigger picture,
Don’t walk around, and pretend to be blind,
Until it hit ya
Thats how it gets ya
A huge bystander effect,
You're not thinking you're next,
Think it's a game,
Till you're hung by your neck,
It's not a game,
Ain't no reason for losing our lives,
Such a shame,
Mother's crying out wondering why,
Who's to blame,
Young teens, barely living their lives,
Cause to them, our skin color ain't right,
See I’m dying inside,
Everytime I hear the same stories,
And could this be the day, my mama cries for me,
Confuse hate, and understand love,
To set this down, we have to stand up..

Outro- Martin Luther King Jr.
