Lyrics:
Intro
Go ahead and fix your crown
And watch it all burn in smoke
Go ahead and stand your ground
We’re on the long road to freedom
Verse 1
Too much time tryna figure out why
Too much time to be patient
All this time you been feeding us lies
Ain’t no truth in your statements
Too much pain in These little white lies
You left here
All this time tryna figure out how we’re still here
I take pride in the things that we’ve done
Side by side in the revolution
Won’t stay silent for things that I love
Cus we know Dem Na care about us
White men can’t jump but at least they can run
Broke these chains just to put our hands up
They could never see the kingdom coming
You wanna see us all amount to nothing
Chorus
I can see your face see the light in your eyes
I can see the change
Feel the heat of the fire
If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive
Both feet on the line
By any means I will fight
for you for you
Bridge
I’ve spent too many days in my head now
Did you think we would forget, how?
Too many destinies too many sentences
Read now
Read now see all this pain in the headlines

But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens see
You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
And what if you change the world
We rise from the flames the victor
its far from a perfect picture
I know we sinful
But we are human
Would you be grateful if you took my place
Say my name
There is redemption
In the steps we take
Say
1 life n I’m gna use it
Innocent til I am proven
1 last chance and you blew it
1 last dance in the ruins
So much hate in your movements
told me I couldn’t prove it
1 last prayer for the sinners
You only learn what you witnessed
I can see your face see the light in your eyes
I can see the change
Feel the heat of the fire
If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive
Both feet on the line
By any means I will fight
For you for you
Bridge
I’ve spent too many days in my head now
Did you think we would forget , how?
Too many destinies too many sentences
Read now
Read now see all this pain in the headlines
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens see
You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
