Somewhere I Read

[Intro]
"Somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly
Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech
Somewhere I read of the freedom of press
Somewhere I read that the greatness of America, is the right to protest for rights"

[Chorus]
Somewhere I read that a change was on the way
We gon see some better days
Justice finally displayed, yah
Fist up for the ones we lost
Fist up for thе pain it caused
Marchin' to victory, because wе changin' history
Somewhere I read that a change was on the way
We gon see some better days
Justice finally displayed, yah
Fist up for the ones we lost
Fist up for the pain it caused
Marchin' to victory, because we changin' history

[Verse One]
Build me up cause I'm broken down
Restless nights feelin' normal now
Pushin' through but I'm losing focus
My soul is drained and I'm feeling hopeless
I don't wanna end up as a hashtag
So I'm marchin' in the streets to combat that
I wanna make sure the future's secure for the next up
And not just to the ones with the best luck
Hands Up. Don't Shoot
And they still turnin' guns on the youth
We exist and they see us as rivals
And try to kill any chance of survival
But hold ya head we ain't lost this fight
The ones who led gave it all their might
You might be scared but don't lose your light
Cause Kendrick said, "We gon be Alright"

[Chorus]
Somewhere I read that a change was on the way
We gon see some better days
Justice finally displayed, yah
Fist up for the ones we lost
Fist up for the pain it caused
Marchin' to victory, because we changin' history
Somewhere I read that a change was on the way
We gon see some better days
Justice finally displayed, yah
Fist up for the ones we lost
Fist up for the pain it caused
Marchin' to victory, because we changin' history

[Verse Two]
Moment of silence for all of the fallen
Hope you're peacefully resting in power
Lookin' down on us all making moves every hour
Against all odds for the cause
A virus, a curfew, a change to the law?
Doin' the most to remove our voices
Hopin' that we re-evaluate our choices
I refuse to observe from the sidelines
I refuse to just wait for the right time
Stand tall for all you believe in
So the kids keep dreamin'
It's because of my mother I'm proud to be black
Ain't no way I'm ever gon switch up on that
The moment is ours and it's on us to take it
BLACK LIVES MATTER, I've issued my statement

[Chorus]
Somewhere I read that a change was on the way
We gon see some better days
Justice finally displayed, yah
Fist up for the ones we lost
Fist up for the pain it caused
Marchin' to victory, because we changin' history
Somewhere I read that a change was on the way
We gon see some better days
Justice finally displayed, yah
Fist up for the ones we lost
Fist up for the pain it caused
Marchin' to victory, because we changin' history

[Outro]
For the cause
For my people
