And every left turn, I felt the far right (You damn right)

Because, tomorrow this blessing will become a lesson

Then walk along these red lines

Y'all sit back and just sign petitions
Cm
These mishaps ain't of the mystics

Add up generations of long division
Cm
Do you feel it? Does it effect you?
Cm A#
Out of sight, out of mind, that's a blurry ass view
A#
When we kneeling y'all act real indignant

But you ain't say shit

Cm
Now that I got your attention
Cm
I know we can do better than this
Cm
But the first thing we have to agree on is that we
Cm
We are no better than them
Cm
If we are nothing more
Cm
Than cogs in a machine
Cm
There must be something more
Cm
To America than a dream
