      I wish she would have worked on the "for you, for you, for you" --- in this song. I don't like it, and it really sticks out compared to how great the rest of the song is. She makes really good shit though, theres no doubt.

      Grégory G. if someone has a following, they are likely to influence people. influencing people comes with fame, whether you think about how you are doing it or not. whether its a negative or positive influence. nobody needs to purposely influence positively, however if you have a platform USE IT.

      @@dlokoko That's the problem I think with that mentality. Public figures can assist with a lot. Artists have such large fanbases they do have a duty to reflect the times we are in. That part of their social contribution considering that they wouldn't be where they are without the people. Its super selfish to think that they don't have any duty.we all do as humans

    LYRICS:
    [Intro]
    (Oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
    So go ahead and fix your crown
    Then watch it all burn in smoke, oh, oh
    Go ahead and stand your ground
    We're on the long road to freedom, oh, no
    [Verse 1]
    Too much time tryna figure out why
    Too much time to be patient
    All this time you be 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 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
    'Cause we know dem nuh care about us
    White men can't jump but at least they can run
    Broke these chains just to put our hands up
    They can never see the kingdom coming
    You wanna see us all amount to nothing, no
    [Pre-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
    [Chorus]
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    [Post-Chorus]
    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
    [Verse 2]
    And what if we changed the world?
    We rise from the flames the victor
    It's far from a perfect picture
    I know we're sinful but we are human
    Would you be grateful if you took my place?
    Say my name (Say my name)
    There is redemption in the steps we take
    Say, one life and I'm gonna use it (Oh)
    Innocent 'til I am proven (Oh, no)
    One last chance and you blew it (Oh)
    One last dance in the ruins (Oh)
    So much hate in your movements (Oh, no)
    Told me I couldn't prove it (No)
    One last prayer for the sinners (Ooh)
    You only learn what you witness (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
    [Pre-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
    [Chorus]
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    By any means, I will fight (For you, for you)
    [Post-Chorus]
    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
