Marvin Used To Say |
Police killing my brother in the street |
No justice no peace |
Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh |
They said the world is changing |
It ain’t for the better |
Wonder if God left us hanging |
Feels like he ain’t been providing no shelter |
For this stormy weather we been facing |
(Oh what’s going on) |
We still ain’t got answers |
Since Marvin asked a long time ago |
Oh, what’s going on |
I wanna know |
Who de we run to? |
And who do we call on? |
What’s the use of still saying prayers |
If deaf ears, they fall on |
(You want to believe) |
Wanna believe there’s a btter place |
When it’s all said and don |
The key is to keep the faith |
For our race to be won |
Raise me up a song |
What’s going on, oh oh |
(Oh, what’s going on?) |
I remember |
Marvin used to say |
Somebody tell me |
(Oh, what’s going on?) |
I gotta know |
Marvin used to say, Marvin used to say |
(Oh, what’s going on?) |
Tell me, tell me |
(Oh, what’s going on?) |
What’s going on? |
What’s going on? |
Seems like from birth I was cursed |
With a guilty complexion |
Can’t even walk the street in peace |
Without the fear of been arrested |
Now the community is divided |
We dying by thousands from this virus |
Cities in shamble, riots |
Like Marvin used to say |
What’s going on? |
What’s going on? |
Who de we run to? |
And who do we call on? |
What’s the use of still saying prayers |
If deaf ears, they fall on |
(You want to believe) |
Wanna believe there’s a better place |
When it’s all said and done |
The key is to keep the faith |
For our race to be won |
Raise me up a song |
What’s going on, oh oh |
(Oh, what’s going on?) |
Marvin used to say |
Somebody tell me |
(Oh, what’s going on?) |
I got, I gotta know, oh |
Mama played the song as a young boy |
(Oh, what’s going on?) |
Marvin used to say |
Tell me, tell me |
What’s going on? |
(Oh, what’s going on?) |
What’s going on? |
What’s going on? |
Marvin used to also say |
Save the children, save the babies |
So a message to the youth |
The future lies in your hands |
To the fight of injustice is one |
We are one |
To Tamika Mallory and Rashad Robinson |
Keep pushing on (Keep pushing on) |
Jumaane Williams, Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi |
We are not alone |
Angela Rye (My sister), Patrisse Cullors, my brother Mysonne (My brother) |
Keep fighting, oh ooh oh |
Keep marching on (Marching on) |
Brother Ben, keep teaching on |
