Protest (feat. Sanaa & DJ Danny W)
So I just wanted to say
All of this is happening in the United States
How about we just move to a Black area
Maybe like Africa so we don't really have
To deal with these problems
And we can just be free and relax
And so we don't have to talk about this all day
And have fear in ourselves that we'll get killed
My soul is tryna
To take me higher
I'm down on my knees
I need some relief
Got no time for losin'
No substitutin'
I know what to do
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
My soul is tryna
To take me higher
But I'm down on my knees
I need to believe
Got no time for blusin'
I must keep movin'
I've got work to do
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
You're ready and you're able
Get ready don't you settle
You're ready and you're able
Get ready don't you settle
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
So let's just move somewhere Black
Somewhere they have all Black people
And no white people
Let's just move
That's what I'm thinking
Because I don't want to deal with this
Because this is too much work
It's too hard for me
And each day like Mom said
I get tired of it and tired of it
So I just wanna go home
Go somewhere Black
Go somewhere that
My ancestors grew from
I just wanna go somewhere
That I can be free
All of this is happening in the United States
How about we just move to a Black area
Maybe like Africa so we don't really have
To deal with these problems
And we can just be free and relax
And so we don't have to talk about this all day
And have fear in ourselves that we'll get killed
My soul is tryna
To take me higher
I'm down on my knees
I need some relief
Got no time for losin'
No substitutin'
I know what to do
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
My soul is tryna
To take me higher
But I'm down on my knees
I need to believe
Got no time for blusin'
I must keep movin'
I've got work to do
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
You're ready and you're able
Get ready don't you settle
You're ready and you're able
Get ready don't you settle
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
Get up and go
And run your race
Get up before
You lose your place
You know just why you must
And why you're here
So let's just move somewhere Black
Somewhere they have all Black people
And no white people
Let's just move
That's what I'm thinking

So I just wanna go home
Go somewhere Black
Go somewhere that
My ancestors grew from
I just wanna go somewhere
That I can be free
