    Lyrics:
    Intro
    Go ahead and fix your crown
    And watch it all burn in smoke
    Go ahead and stand your ground
    We’re on the long road to freedom
    Verse 1
    Too much time tryna figure out why
    Too much time to be patient
    All this time you been feeding us lies
    Ain’t no truth in your statements
    Too much pain in These little white lies
    You left here
    All this time tryna figure out how we’re still here
    I take pride in the things that we’ve done
    Side by side in the revolution
    Won’t stay silent for things that I love
    Cus we know Dem Na care about us
    White men can’t jump but at least they can run
    Broke these chains just to put our hands up
    They could never see the kingdom coming
    You wanna see us all amount to nothing
    Chorus
    I can see your face see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change
    Feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive
    Both feet on the line
    By any means I will fight
    for you for you
    Bridge
    I’ve spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget, how?
    Too many destinies too many sentences
    Read now
    Read now see all this pain in the headlines
    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens see
    You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
    And what if you change the world
    We rise from the flames the victor
    its far from a perfect picture
    I know we sinful
    But we are human
    Would you be grateful if you took my place
    Say my name
    There is redemption
    In the steps we take
    Say
    1 life n I’m gna use it
    Innocent til I am proven
    1 last chance and you blew it
    1 last dance in the ruins
    So much hate in your movements
    told me I couldn’t prove it
    1 last prayer for the sinners
    You only learn what you witnessed
    I can see your face see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change
    Feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive
    Both feet on the line
    By any means I will fight
    For you for you
    Bridge
    I’ve spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget , how?
    Too many destinies too many sentences
    Read now
    Read now see all this pain in the headlines
    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens see
    You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye

      THATS why she is underrated.. but we better should stop give too much attention to any charts and compare the artists in there, with artists who give music a touch of poetry. Mainstream is, what the INDUSTRY want, we give our focus to. In modern times, everyone of us got the power to SPREAD open minded music! So, its our own decision which kind of music, lyrics and message we really want to make famous. And we better should realize again wich power music has in the way of change the world. The 'Creater Of Society' are fearing this fact. That's why...

    LYRICS:
    So go ahead and fix your crown

It reinvigorates my soul because i get disheartened by the racism still present in modern day. 2 days ago now, i had a racist enounter but i am keeping my head held high - Black is Power! Black is Beauty! Black is Humanity

    Lyrics:
    Intro
    Go ahead and fix your crown
    And watch it all burn in smoke
    Go ahead and stand your ground
    We’re on the long road to freedom
    Verse 1
    Too much time tryna figure out why
    Too much time to be patient
    All this time you been feeding us lies
    Ain’t no truth in your statements
    Too much pain in These little white lies
    You left here
    All this time tryna figure out how we’re still here
    I take pride in the things that we’ve done
    Side by side in the revolution
    Won’t stay silent for things that I love
    Cus we know Dem Na care about us
    White men can’t jump but at least they can run
    Broke these chains just to put our hands up
    They could never see the kingdom coming
    You wanna see us all amount to nothing
    Chorus
    I can see your face see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change
    Feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive
    Both feet on the line
    By any means I will fight
    for you for you
    Bridge
    I’ve spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget, how?
    Too many destinies too many sentences
    Read now
    Read now see all this pain in the headlines
    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens see
    You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
    And what if you change the world
    We rise from the flames the victor
    its far from a perfect picture
    I know we sinful
    But we are human
    Would you be grateful if you took my place
    Say my name
    There is redemption
    In the steps we take
    Say
    1 life n I’m gna use it
    Innocent til I am proven
    1 last chance and you blew it
    1 last dance in the ruins
    So much hate in your movements
    told me I couldn’t prove it
    1 last prayer for the sinners
    You only learn what you witnessed
    I can see your face see the light in your eyes
    I can see the change
    Feel the heat of the fire
    If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive
    Both feet on the line
    By any means I will fight
    For you for you
    Bridge
    I’ve spent too many days in my head now
    Did you think we would forget , how?
    Too many destinies too many sentences
    Read now
    Read now see all this pain in the headlines
    But I have cried for the last time
    But know what happens see
    You would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye

    “If you can feel the pain then you know you’re alive”.

The visuals and lyrics behind this song hit hard, and I just want to thank you for constantly using your platform to highlight injustices that we face in the world. You’re a gem you know 🖤

      Because this song reminds people of the reality that we live in? And people want to listen to music to escape the reality that we live in? That's why you won't hear conscious music on the radio.

    Definitely underrated. New fav of hers. This song just has me feeling some kind of way.. In a good, weird, nostalgic way. 🤍
