Turn it up
Oh no, no, no, no
Its a no win situation
I got 2 fight it every day
If it hurts my reputation
Im gonna do it anyway, huh
What if my lovers a different color?
Whats it got 2 do with U? (Oh tell me)
Cuz when, Mr. and Mrs. just mind your business
Whys it matter what I do?
U tell me that it aint right (Aint right)
Think that Im a sinner
Tell me whos the winner if I compromise
If it aint right (Aint right)
I aint gonna change it
I wont rearrange it or apologize
If were all created equal
If He made us all the same
Tell me why there still are people (Everyday people)
Who refuse 2 make a change? (Got 2 make a change)
They say, U know your lovers a different color?
Tell me something I dont know (Oh tell me)
Like, how come Ure so calm
About the big bomb getting ready 2 explode?
And if it aint right (Aint right)
Then were all in trouble
I hate 2 burst your bubble, got 2 realize
If it aint right (Aint right)
Stop just what Ure doin
Its time 2 get a clue and open up your eyes
Heavenly Father, why cant we get along?
Where is the justice? Where is the right from wrong?
Why cant U help us? Oh, help us see
Heavenly Father answer me!
(It aint right) {repeat 4 times in BG}
We got 2 come 2gether
Its time 2 make a change (Oh no)
We got 2 come 2gether
Oh no, huh!
Why is there prejudice? Why is there hate?
Tell me why the people cant communicate?
I dont see it cuz they just aint lookin at the writin on the wall
It says - America the beautiful, freedom and justice 4 all
Oh, if it aint right (Aint right)
Then were all in trouble
I hate 2 burst your bubble, got 2 realize
If it aint right (Aint right)
Stop just what Ure doin
Its time 2 get a clue and open up your eyes
They say it aint right (Aint right)
Mama said I shouldnt
Daddy said I couldnt, therell be hell 2 pay
If it aint right (Aint right)
Tell me why I wanna
Tell me why Im gonna do it anyway
It dont matter if Ure black or white
Its a matter of wrong or right
Its time 2 do your thinking on your own, oh (On your own)
U better think about the things U say
Get ready 4 Judgment Day
Cuz everybodys goin down alone (Theyre goin down alone)
If it aint right, got 2 come 2gether
If it aint right, we got 2 make a change (Make it right now)
If it aint right, we got 2 come 2gether {repeat 2 fade}
(Make it right now, right now, right now)
If it aint right, we got 2 make a change
