Intro
Dm
You all thought I would just gonna like
Dm
Sit there and accept that
Dm
And not and not and not continue
Dm
Like, like I wasn't about this shit in the first place
Dm
It's all coming down
Dm
Listen up, motherfucker
[Verse 1]
Dm
I woke up for the first time
Dm
In a long time feeling alright
Dm
Then something don't feel right
Dm
Why do I feel like the war just began?
C
What do I believe when?
C
Satan be evil but angels be sleazy
C
It don't get no easier when (Whatchu you talking about)
C
They change like the wind and pretend like it's breezy
Dm
Shit ain't alright, I waited all night
Dm
To hear some good news, but this just all right
Dm
I feel my whole life was one big car ride
Dm
And every left turn, I felt the far right (You damn right)
C
At least you got something right
C
This ain't the best but at least it's progress
C
So go ahead and have fun tonight
C
Because, tomorrow this blessing will become a lesson
[Chorus]
Dm
You can do what you want

A#
It all falls down, once again
Dm
You can do what you want

[Verse 2]
Dm
Fell on some hard times and when y'all die
Dm C
They resurrect them soft lies
Dm
That big blue wall we all climb
Dm F
Then walk along these red lines
Dm
See, I ain't with that
Dm
When they politicin'
Dm C
Y'all sit back and just sign petitions
Dm
These mishaps ain't of the mystics
Dm
Add up generations of long division
Dm
Do you feel it? Does it effect you?
Dm C
Out of sight, out of mind, that's a blurry ass view
C
When we kneeling y'all act real indignant
C
But you ain't say shit
C
When Derek Chauvin did it, bitch
[Chorus]
Dm
You can do what you want

We gonna do what we have to when
A#
It all falls down, once again
Dm
You can do what you want
C Gm
We gonna do what we have to when
A#
It all falls down, once again
[Bridge]
Dm
Now that I got your attention
Dm
I know we can do better than this
Dm
But the first thing we have to agree on is that we
Dm
We are no better than them
Dm
If we are nothing more
Dm
Than cogs in a machine
Dm
There must be something more
Dm
To America than a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
(You can do what you want
Gm A# C
We gonna do what we have to when)

It all falls down, once again
Dm
You can do what you want
C Gm
We gonna do what we have to when
A# Dm
It all falls down, once again
