| I get tired of folks complaining
|
| As if they don’t even understand
|
| No matter how we try explaining
|
| Most of us don’t even give a damn
|
| I’m talkin' bout your brothers fighting
|
| And all the things that we see and do
|
| If your wrapped up in chains and feelin' that pain
|
| You might do the same things too
|
| Freedom give them what they want
|
| Give them what they ought to have
|
| Freedom give them what they want
|
| Give them what they ought to have
|
| We need to see this situation
|
| Cause it wasn’t very long ago
|
| There was our own discrimination
|
| A problem we all should know
|
| You say you really want an answer
|
| Seems pretty plain to see
|
| Stop all the lying stop all the dying
|
| And set my people free
|
| Freedom give them what they want
|
| Give them what they ought to have
|
| Freedom give them what they want
|
| Give them what they ought to have
|
| We’ve got to get together
|
| No matter what they say
|
| Gotta power to make it better
|
| Can’t stay this way
|
| I get tired of folks complaining
|
| As if they don’t even understand
|
| No matter how we try explaining
|
| Most of us don’t even give a damn
