Same as It Ever Was (Start Today) [feat. Agape Choir]
Same as it ever was,
But there's gotta be a better way.
It's the same as it ever was but today's a different day.
You and me could make that change.
But it's the same as it ever was, we better start today.
America's a better place than it was fifty years ago.
There's been a whole lot of change, but we got a long way to go.
When we used to have a problem, we used to call the police.
But who we gonna call when the police make a problem.
I'm not saying that they are all bad.
I'm not saying that I'm any better.
All I'm just trying to say is that we could do a lot better.
I say it in my own house, I say it on the streets.
I say it on a record yo, and I say it on a beat.
I paint it on a wall yo, so everybody sees.
When we all see justice, then we'll all see peace.
It's the same as it ever was.
But there's gotta be a better way.
It's the same as it ever was, but today's a different day.
You and me could make that change, but it's the same as it ever was.
We better start today.
A revalution is apon us.
The battle between the future and the past.
The battle's never over.
But the future's gonna last.
Malcom had an x yo, Dr.
king had a dream.
And like Spikley said so you should always do the right thing.
If the world's full of anger, and everybodys got a gun.
Then what should I say yo, to my teenage son.
Mandela did a lockdown for twenty eight years.
But there's billions more now, still raining down tears.
I say it in my own house, I say it on the streets.
I say it on a record yo, and I say it on a beat.
I paint it on a wall yo, till everybody sees.
When we all see justice, we all see peace.
It's the same as it ever was, but there's gotta be a better way.
It's the same as it ever was, but today's a different day.
You and me could make a change.
But it's the same as it ever was, we better start today.
They can try to divide us, thay can try to increase.
All the pain and suffering, but this is anybody's street.
There is just one love yo, and there is just one beat.
And when we all see justice, then we all see peace.
It's just the same as it ever was, but there's gotta be a better way.
It's the same as it ever was, but today's a different day.
You and me could make that change, but it's the same as it ever was, We better start today.
It's the same as it ever was, we better start today.
But there's gotta be a better way.
It's the same as it ever was but today's a different day.
You and me could make that change.
But it's the same as it ever was, we better start today.
America's a better place than it was fifty years ago.
