| Verse One
|
| They been telling us for years that we’re a part of something
|
| Selling us their tears
|
| Soldiers in their army, how they lust for fear
|
| and we’re not gonna take it any longer
|
| We go back so far, from kings and queens of Africa
|
| We stand so tall.
|
| Build up brick by brick so we could read the stars
|
| And we’re not gonna stay down any longer
|
| Pre-Chorus
|
| People’ll tell you anything
|
| Tell you what song to sing
|
| Are we moving forward, or are we… (Are we goin'?)
|
| Swallowed up and whole, in the belly of the beast…
|
| You can lose your soul.
|
| DOn’t you take their bait, have some self control…
|
| Think they got you where they want you don’t go down, down, down.
|
| Though the past is gone, know your history my brother
|
| keep us strong.
|
| And our sisters and our mothers, generations on…
|
| will be talked of like the Queens of Mother Earth
|
| Pre-Chorus
|
| People’ll tell you anything…
|
| Sell your soul for gold and tings.
|
| Are we goin' forward or are we… (Are we goin'?)
|
| Going Nowhere? |
| Going nowhere?
|
| Bridge:
|
| Pre-Chorus
|
| People’ll tell you anything
|
| Tell you what song to sing
|
| Are we movin' forward, now? |
| (Are we going?) Or are we…
|
| Going Nowhere? |
| Going nowhere? |
