I don't wanna write this down, (world... premiere) |
|
I wanna tell you how I feel right now (world... premiere) |
|
I don't wanna take no time to write this down, (world... premiere) |
|
I wanna tell you how I feel right now, hey (world... premiere) |
|
Tomorrow may never come |
|
For you or me |
|
Life is not promised |
|
Tomorrow may never show up |
|
For you and me |
|
This life is not promised |
|
I ain't no perfect man |
|
I'm trying to do, the best that I can, |
|
With what it is I have |
|
I ain't no perfect man |
|
I'm trying to do, the best that I can, |
|
With what it is I have |
|
Put my heart and soul into this song (yes yes) |
|
I hope you feel me |
|
From where I am, to wherever you are |
|
I mean that sincerely |
|
Tomorrow may never come |
|
For and me |
|
Life is not promised |
|
Tomorrow may never appear |
|
You better hold this very moment very close to you (right now) |
|
Very close to you (right now) |
|
So close to you, So- close to you (your moment in history is right now!) |
|
Don't be affraid, to let it shine |
|
My Umi said shine your light on the world |
|
Shine your light for the world to see |
|
My Abi said shine your light on the world |
|
Shine your light for the world to see |
|
(I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free) |
|
My Abi said shine your light on the world |
|
(Want black people to be free, to be free, to be free) |
|
Shine your light for the world to see |
|
(Want black people to be free, to be free, to be free) |
|
My Umi said shine your light on the world |
|
(Want black people to be free, to be free, to be free) |
|
Shine your light for the world to see |
|
(Want black people to be free, to be free...) |
|
Sometimes I get discouraged |
|
I look around and, things are so weak |
|
People are so weak |
|
Sometimes, |
|
Sometimes I feel like crying |
|
Sometimes my heart gets heavy |
|
Sometimes I just want to leave and fly away (fly fly fly, like a dove) |
|
Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself (ow!) |
|
Passion takes over me |
|
I feel like a man |
|
Going insane |
|
Losing my brain |
|
Trying to maintain |
|
Doing my thang |
|
Hey hey hey hey hey |
|
Put my heart and soul into this y'all |
|
I hope you feel me |
|
Where I am, to wherever you are (ha ha ha ha) |
|
Sometimes I don't want to be bothered |
|
Sometimes I just want a quiet life, with |
|
Me and my babies, me and my lady |
|
Sometimes I don't want to get into no war |
|
(Black people to be free, to be free...) |
|
Sometimes I don't wanna be a soldier |
|
Sometimes I just wanna be a man, but |
|
Umi said shine your light on the world |
|
Shine your light for the world to see |
|
My Abi said shine your light on the world |
|
Shine your light for the world to see |
|
(I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free) |
|
My dreamers(?) said shine your light on the world |
|
(Want black people to be free, to be free, to be free) |
|
Shine your light for the world to see |
|
(Want black people) |
|
My elders said shine your light on the world (Hey hey) |
|
Shine your light for the world to see |
|
I want black people to be free, to be free, to be free |
|
All my people to be free, to be free, to be free |
|
Oh black people to be free, to be free, to be free |
|
Oh black people to be free, to be free, to be free |
|
That's all that matters to me [x7] |
|
Black people unite and let's all get down |
|
Gotta have what, |
|
Gotta have that love |
|
Peace and understanding |
|
One God, one light |
|
One man, one voice, one mic |
|
Black people unite come on and do it right |
|
Black people unite come on and do it right |
|
Black people unite come on and get down |
