The trouble with the world is that we're too busy.
It's okay to think about it
Why hang a rebel flag?
From the walls of the State House
tired of hearing that shit
About heritage, not hate
It's time to make the world a better place
Why should we hate each other?
Well no matter what we have to live together
you just don't look like me
Tell me what you see
when we pass the street
What do you want to see
The arrival of P.E. That's all I have to say
I want to turn around and run
They just say how they see it.
Right or wrong, they don't care
They wished they would quit smoking
Drowning in a sea of tears
I hate trying to hide your fears
live only for you
to hate everyone else
because they don't look like you
Nancy sings It's a Hard Life
Wherever you go
About a fat racist who lives in Chicago
He tries to teach his kids to hate everyone
Now tell me why is that something
Would you like to teach your child?
Why should we hate each other?
When people at church
They tell me that you are my brother
You don't walk like me, that's what I said
You don't talk like me, you say
Return to Africa
I just do not understand
Drowning in a sea of tears
I hate trying to hide your fears
live only for you
to hate everyone else
because they don't look like you
don't look like you
He drew
I'm trying to be someone
He could admire that, but
when I walk down the street
Tell me what you see
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man
no i'm not like you
why do you hate me so much
I do not know
I don't know, I don't know
to hate everyone else
because they don't look like you
oh drown
to hate everyone else
because they don't look like you
He drowned
#2.THE COLOR OF A MAN by Alicia Williamson
Click here to watch the music video
centuries of division
Misunderstandings that lead to suspicion
Years of injustice confront us with our ignorance
and fills our father's eyes with tears.
His image is that of all races
reflected in a rainbow of faces
All were created by His hand
God is the one who chooses a man's color
He doesn't make mistakes
but formulate a perfect plan
God is the artist in the color of a man
streets full of excitement
a fear of the unknown fuels our apprehension
These differences will harm us
if we only see the surface
and don't find our common ground
Oh love, it's an act bolder
compels us to love our neighbor
All were created by His hand
¬God is the one who chooses the color of a man
He doesn't make mistakes, but forms a perfect plan.
God is the artist in the color of a man
We can live beyond the differences that separate us
When we trust the master with the color of our heart
All were created by His hand
God is the one who chooses a man's color
He doesn't make mistakes, but he comes up with a perfect plan.
God is the artist in the color of a man
God is the artist in the color of a man
#3.FEAR CANNOT BRING DREAMS TO SLEEP de Stevie Wonder con Take 6 y Drums of Unity
Click here to watch the music video
A question came to me out of nowhere.
of those who won't leave you alone until you answer
The question was, if I were blessed with the gift of sight, what would I most like to see in life?
This made me think of an old story about a boy with no feet...no hands or feet being asked if he could walk, what would he do?
And he said, as I understand it
If my eyes would see, let them witness a world without color.
And as my limbs move let me touch the land and walk where hatred could no longer be
And when my ears are listening, let it be like the sweetest music, in tune with the harmony.
And if my mouth would speak, let me speak of a land where love is for all and fear cannot keep dreams from sleeping.
And in a crowd came two sisters, one speaking to the other through signs, and she asked the sister of all people if she could hear what she would most like to hear at that moment.
She unhesitatingly told the story of a girl who couldn't speak at all and asked if she could speak what she would say to her and she couldn't see anything at all.
If my eyes would see, let them witness a world without color.
And as my limbs move let me touch the land and walk where hatred could no longer be
And when my ears listen, let it be like the sweetest music, in unity and harmony.
And if my mouth would speak, let me speak of a land where love is for all and fear cannot keep dreams from sleeping.
If my eyes would see, let them witness a world without color.
And as my limbs move let me touch the land and walk where hatred could no longer be
And when my ears listen, let it be like the sweetest music, in unity and harmony.
And if my mouth would speak, let me speak of a land where love is for all and fear cannot keep dreams from sleeping.
If my eyes would see, let them witness a world without color.
And as my limbs move let me touch the land and walk where hatred could no longer be
And when my ears listen, let it be like the sweetest music, in unity and harmony.
And if my mouth would speak, let me speak of a land where love is for all and fear cannot keep dreams from sleeping.
#4.WHERE IS THE LOVE? by Black Eyed Peas and Justin Timberlake
Click here to watch the music video
What's wrong with the world mom?
People live as if they don't have a mother
I think everyone is addicted to drama.
Only attracted to things that bring you trauma
Overseas yes we are trying to stop terrorism
But we still have terrorists alive here
In the USA the big CIA
The Bloods and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only love your own breed
So they only leave room for distinctions
And discrimination breeds hate
And when you hate, you inevitably get angry, yes
Madness is what you show
And that's exactly how anger works and works.
Man you gotta have love just to get it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul be drawn to love, everyone, everyone
[Chor: Justin Timberlake]
Kill people, people die
Hurt children, hear them cry
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?
Father, father, father, help us
Submit guidance from above
Because people got me, questioned me
where is the love
[Nachchor: will.i.am & Fergie]
(Love) Where's the love? (Love)
where is the love (Love)
Where's the love, love, love?
[Verse 2: Tabu]
It's just not the same, the old ways have changed
New days are strange, is the world crazy?
When love and peace are so strong
Why are there love pieces that don't belong?
Nations drop bombs
Chemical gases fill the lungs of little ones
With continual suffering when the young die young
So ask yourself, is love really gone?
So I can really ask myself, what's wrong?
With this world we live in? People keep giving in
Making wrong decisions, only visions of their dividends
Without respecting each other, denying your brother
A war is going on, but the reason for it is hidden
The truth is kept secret and swept under the rug.
If you never know the truth, you never know love
Where's the love, y'all? Come on (I don't know)
And where's the truth, you? Come on (I don't know)
And where's the love, y'all?
[Chor: Justin Timberlake]
Kill people, people die
Hurt children, hear them cry
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?
Father, father, father, help us
Submit guidance from above
Because people got me, questioned me
where is the love
[Nachchor: will.i.am & Fergie]
(Love) Where's the love? (Love)
where is the love (Love)
where is the love (Love)
where is the love
(Love) Where's the love? (Love)
where is the love (Love)
Where's the love, love, love?
[Vers 3: apl.de.ap]
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I get older, everyone gets colder
Most of us only care about making money.
Selfishness has made us go in the wrong direction
Again and again false information in the media
Negative images is the main criterion.
Infects young minds faster than bacteria
Children want to act like they see it in the movies.
Hey, what happened to the values of humanity? (Yes)
What happened to justice and equality? (Yes)
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading animosity (Yeah)
Lack of understanding keeps us from unity
That's why I sometimes feel down
That's why I sometimes feel down
It's no wonder why I sometimes feel down
I must keep my faith alive until love is found
ask yourself now
[Nachchor: will.i.am]
where is the love
where is the love
where is the love
where is the love
[Chor: Justin Timberlake]
Father, father, father, help us
Submit guidance from above
Because people got me, questioned me
where is the love
[Salida: will.i.am and Justin Timberlake]
Now sing with me, y'all (One world, one world)
We only have (One world, one world)
That's all we got (One world, one world)
And something's wrong with it (Yeah)
something is wrong with it (yes)
Something's wrong with the w-world, world, yes
We only have (One world, one world)
That's all we got (One world, one world)
# 5YOU MUST BE CAREFULLY TAUGHT BY James Taylor
Click here to watch the music video
you must be taught
hate and fear,
you must be taught
year by year,
It has to be drummed
in your dear little ear
They must be taught carefully.
You have to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are made strange
and people whose skin is a different shade,
They must be taught carefully.
You need to be taught before it's too late
Before you're six or seven or eight years old
Hate all people who hate your relatives,
They must be taught carefully

To the point of the philosophy that one race is superior to the other
Anything inferior will be definitively and permanently discredited and abandoned
Well, there's war everywhere.
it's your war
And until there are no more first and second class citizens of any nation
Until a man's skin color doesn't matter anymore
that the color of his eyes
I have to say 'war', yes
And until basic human rights are guaranteed to all equally
regardless of race
It's your war, hey
But until this day
The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
And the rule of international morality, yes
Will remain as a fleeting illusion to be pursued
but never reached
Well, there's war everywhere.
it's your war
war in the east
war in the west
war in the north
War in the south, yes
Yes, you want a war.
And the rumors of war
And even the ignoble and unfortunate regime
That supports our brothers in South Africa, yes
South Africa, and
subhuman slavery
They were overthrown, yes
completely destroyed
Well it's everywhere
everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
war in the east
war in the west
war in the north
War in the south, yes
Yes, you want a war.
And the rumors of war
And until
And until
And until all these things have a meaning
Until man learns
There will always be war now
There will always be war
And the war in the east
war in the west
war in the north
war in the south
some winners
some lose
some die
some cry
some singing
we do not need
no more trouble
we do not need
no more trouble
No more hassles, no more hassles
No more hassle, huh
What we need is love
To guide and protect us in it
When your hope looks down from above
Help the weak when you are strong
We have no problems
What we need is love
we do not need
no more trouble
no more trouble
no more trouble

No more war, no more war, no more war, I say
speak happiness
sad enough without your problems
good morning speak love
Sad enough without your haters, yeah
We don't need trouble
What we need is love

This is where the party ends.
I can't stay here and listen to you
and your racist friend
I know politics bores you
But I feel like a hypocrite when I talk to you
and your racist friend
It was the most beautiful party I've ever attended.
If something breaks, I'm sure it can be fixed.
My head can't take this rocking and pretending
I heard a ball head and the crazy thing he said
This is where the party ends.
I'm sitting here wondering how
You can support your racist friend
I know politics bores you
But I feel like a hypocrite when I talk to you
You and your racist friend
This is where the party ends.
I can't stay here and listen to you
and your racist friend
I know politics bores you
But I feel like a hypocrite when I talk to you
and your racist friend
From the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway
Your friend apologizes, I might see it that way
He let the contents of the bottle ponder
You can't shake the devil's hand and say you're just kidding
This is where the party ends.
I can't stay here and listen to you
and your racist friend
I know politics bores you
But I feel like a hypocrite when I talk to you

Click here to watch the music video
I would sing more about the morals of this country, but not all of God's children are free
I would open all the doors I can because not all of God's children are free
I met a broken, beaten man who shovels dirt but has no dirt
And I stretched out his hand, all the children of God are not free
I'd sing a silly song too, but all of God's children are not free
I'll sing the blues for the men who did wrong
Because not all children of God are free
Lord, what about the man you sentence to death?
But take everything you live for
And reject it from society, all God's children are not free
Do not reject him from society, all of God's children are not free.
I'd love to walk down every street, but not all of God's children are free.
I would have a smile for everyone I meet, but all of God's children are not free
I would whistle on the side, but it wouldn't feel right
I would hear someone cry at night
From a tenant's tabernacle or prison, not all of God's children are free
From a tenant's tabernacle or prison, not all of God's children are free

We'll all play a role
Because you know we've come a long way
You know, since the days of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
[Not hard to say] You know, now that we see it
Nelson N-Nelson Mandela is free
Let's talk about it, let's talk about this racism
Cut it out, you know what I'm saying, let's cut it out
So G, why don't you do your part of the rhyme and then I'll come after you?
(Eight, check it out, let's go, yo)
I'm trying to explore, not sure
Why all the race war?
It makes me sore
I'm walking down a colour-blind hallway
Searching for peace in the people I meet
Black, white and Puerto Rican men salute each other
Like the brothers, there are many and many of the others
You can discover children, fathers and mothers
A melting pot, no one felt I was biased
Listen, I couldn't help anyone criticize this.
A landscape, with a dark and light handshake.
Having fun without being a fake snake
So let's make a rainbow over the mountain
And let's drink from the same water source
Let's make our Earth Day a story
people walking through the same areas
Color or faith, no reason for a man to bleed
I think we all breathe the same seed
Unless it's diluted by something penetrating onto it
I see your family tree has been uprooted
So don't be a fool if you are Jewish or Hindu.
The racial manual is the evil that humans do
I grew up in an Asian country
Hatred should not separate Jamaicans from Haitians
So if you're giving in to your ears, I hope you'll listen and
Siberian is no better than Nigerian
I bring a rattle to a battle where you see me
I'm not a villain, why would I kill Indians?
The reality of my nationality
And you, a biased man, are devilishly minded
These are words of a wise man, wisdom.
Treat yourself and eliminate racism

(Hey, Kane, why don't you do your part and then let me do mine?
And then we get out of here, go ahead, bet)
In the days of slavery
Some ran away and many landed
Some men say inferiority
But with Kunta Kinte, that shit is over
Then back on the streets of New York
I think of Yusef Hawkins and I see you're still lurking
And when I think of barriers like Bensonhurst
Hey, notice how I mentioned the hearse
We need to improve this world of prejudice
Folks, make peace and learn to live the same way
Because I don't see myself as
Coon or a Mooley I would have to say Massa
You better believe I'm Asian
And I know what has been changed and planned
So let's stick with it and be honest and try to build something
One nation united, desegregates
I know that there are different strokes for different people
But I also realized what causes hate
So don't hate me and don't try to underestimate me
Because I collect fines, drive a Benz and live long
And we can all live together in harmony.
Without thinking about what color hurts me
If I'm a slave, I'm a slave to rhythm
A E-R-A-S-E el racism
[Coro]
to black and white
The red and the yellow
To all nationalities
I want to say hello
And I hope they stop racism and it comes from our hearts
Me, Kool G Rap, Polo, Big Daddy Kane, Cool V and of course
The Diabolical Bizmarkie I hope you stop racism

I guess we're color blind
black hand
white hand
The black man plows the white man's white land
White cotton in white fields
Black slaves with their bare black backs
The past kills the black feet in the black night
Run fast from the black dogs with a black bite
But should he appear in white?
Because what I've heard is fair
Black is darkness and white is good.
It's like the right, right light
Black Bible, white pages, black ink
Abused by white supremacists, black people think
But the white men, the white plans are bleached
That's why they built these white walls
I pray they can
Herbst
I guess we're color blind
I guess we're color blind
Blinded in our sin
On all paths of our Creator
because he created us in his own image
But we all hate pictures
I guess we're color blind
I guess we're color blind
only black, only white
everything gray mixed
We were never meant to be like this
everything i see
are grayscale
This rain is falling
my window
everything i see
are grayscale
This rain is falling
My window, window pane
When I look through that window, all I see is pain
I guess I call it window pain
A white widow looking out of a white window
Bitten by a black widow
Ironically, that's widow's mourning
A little poison with a little rain
A little boy was killed, his skin was stained
Or so they thought.
and so it hangs
I heard a white Christian once
forefinger on his hand
In black skin and say it was the mark of Cain
damn so twisted
But I heard the same thing and yet the opposite.
of a black Christian
So I guess we're all the mark of Cain
Since we're killing each other, we're clearly disabled, killed
I have a black family that doesn't even know it
My white family never seems to get their hands on it.
But my true relative is every shade, every color
painted red
All my sisters and my brothers
but
Break those chains (Break those chains, break those chains) Break those chains, Lord
Oh please
(Break those chains, break those chains)
break these chains
We need you to break these chains
It is obvious that we are all enslaved
In the back of the headquarters we pray
that you save us with amazing grace
We need you to break these chains
Jesus

Oh! your bad self!
say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud
say it louder I'm black and I'm proud
Look here!
Some people say we have a lot of wickedness, some say it's a lot of nerves
But I'm saying we won't stop moving until we get what we deserve
We were reprimanded and scourged
We were treated badly, we talked as sure as you were born
But sure how it takes two eyes to make a pair, huh!
Brother, we can't stop until we get our share
Say it out loud, I'm black and I'm proud
Say it out loud, I'm black and I'm proud
Again, say it out loud, I'm black and I'm proud, huh!
I've worked jobs with my feet and my hands.
But all the work I did was for the other man
And now we're demanding the chance to do things yourself
We're tired of banging our heads against the wall
And work for someone else
say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud
say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud
say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud
say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud, oh!
Ooh-wee, you're killing me
All right, uh, you're out of sight!
Alright so hard you're hard enough!
Ooh wee huh! You're killing me! Oh!
say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud
say it louder I'm black and I'm proud
Now we demand the ability to do things yourself
We're tired of banging our heads against the wall
And if you work for someone else, look here
I have to say one more thing here
Now, now we are human, we are like the birds and the bees
We would rather die on our feet than continue to live on our knees.
Say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud, huh!
Say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud, huh!
Say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud Lord-a, Lord-a, Lord-a
Say it out loud I'm black and I'm proud, ooh!
Oh! OK, good god
You know we can do the boogaloo
#16 IF I CAN DREAM by Elvis Presley
Click here to watch the music video
There must be brighter lights burning somewhere
In a bluer sky, birds must fly higher
If I can dream of a better country
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true?
At some point there must be peace and understanding.
Strong winds of promise that will carry away all doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope continues to shine for all
Tell me why, oh oh, why doesn't this sun rise?
We're lost in a cloud with too much rain
We're stuck in a world preoccupied with pain
But as long as a man has the strength to dream
You can redeem your soul and fly
Deep in my heart is a trembling question
I'm still sure the answer will come somehow
Out there in the dark a candle is calling
And while I can think
as long as i can talk
As long as I can stand
as long as i can walk
As long as I can dream
Please make my dream come true... right now.
Now let it come true
Oh me

You see, Billy was teased at school.
For things he couldn't change
He did his best to play well
But in seventh grade
Either you fit in or you don't fit in
That's just the cold, hard truth.
i wish i was the friend
Billy never found out
I think it's time to unite.
You and me, we can change something
maybe we can change something
make the world a better place
look around and love someone
We've been hateful long enough
May the good Lord bring us together
To this land we love
Ungeiteil (and)
Either you go to church or you go to hell
Get a job and work or you go to jail
I wish we didn't think like that
Why does it have to be all white or all black?
And when will we learn to try on someone's shoes sometimes? (That's how it is)
When will we start seeing through someone else's eyes?
I think it's time to unite.
You and me, we can change something
maybe we can change something
make the world a better place
look around and love someone
We've been hateful long enough
May the good Lord bring us together
To this land we love
Individual (oh, yeah, ayy)
Ungeteilt, oh and
We are all equal to God
No matter what we get His love
I'm tired of looking left or right
So I'm just looking up
I think it's time to unite.
You and me, we can change something
maybe we can change something
make the world a better place
look around and love someone
We've been hateful long enough (hateful long enough)
May the good Lord bring us together
To this land we love
Undivided (come on)
Oh yes, hey
Ungeteilt, oh and
Oh me
(Get a job and work or you go to jail)
Undivided
(I just wish we didn't think like that)

Why does it have to be all white or all black?

who can't sleep
at night when something
it's just not right
Red blood
but no prospect
Ego-Explosion
At night
mix like sticks
from dynamite
red black or white
this is my fight
come on courage
let's be heard
transform feelings
in words
american equality
it was always bitter
an attitude
I want to devour
my name is peace
this is my time
i can receive
just a little strength
[Coro]
The Power of Equality
It's still not what it should be
fills me up like a hollow tree
The Power of Equality
Right or wrong
my song is strong
you do not like
get by
say what i want
do what i can
death of the embassy
Del Ku Klux Klan
I'm not buying dominance
head of media
you threaten me
the people you say
because all the crime
wake up mom*****
And smell the slime
blackest rage
the whitest fear
Can you hear
IM clean?
my name is peace
this is my time
i can receive
just a little strength
[Coro]
i have ribbons
I have CDs
I have my public enemy
my lily white ass
it's pink tickle
when i hear the music
this makes me thoughtful
No one else
damn politician
nothing but do something
for his own ambition
never touch
the sound we make
holy love of the soul
vows we make
to create directly
what is true
he is with me
and what i do
my name is peace
this is my time
i can receive
just a little strength
[Coro]
crazier than a mother*****
Lick my finger
I can not forget
because the memory remains
count them fast
little piccadilly disease
take me to the fore
eat my fat
I have a rash
from the Bible Belt
handling by hand
that they treated me
sit on the handle
From a murderous fist
give up blood
just to exist
rub me bad
and i get angry
no i can't
come to it
people with pain
I do not like it
swap brain
For Mr Fanatic
little brother are you listening to me
Got a heart oh come close to me
Misery is not my friend
But I'll break before I bend
What I see is madness
Whatever happened to humanity

It's so hard to face that in this day and age
Someone's career could trigger someone's anger.
And someone's preference can lead to a total stranger
Making someone somehow feel the wrath of your anger.
Why did you bring us here?
So that? We are not sure.
They certainly didn't bring us here to hate
Be racist, be sexist
Make sure we don't tolerate your hatred.
Why cut and dry like this? Lost a simple concept.
Try tolerance, this confusion still exists.
Ignorant traders, no area is gray.
I couldn't be more wrong at this time and on this day.
Why did you bring us here?
So that? We are not sure.
They certainly didn't bring us here to hate.
Be racist, be sexist, be fanatical
Make sure we don't tolerate your hatred.
How far have we come now?
How come there are still some that won't let go?
To the beat of another drum?
To face it is so difficult that you need to be on your guard.
It is not right and you are not free to be different.
Why did you bring us here?
So that? We are not sure.
They certainly didn't bring us here to hate.
Be racist, be sexist, be fanatical
Make sure we don't tolerate your hatred.
Let's try to erase it, it's time we face it.
If not us, then who?
The fault is ours.
Let's try to erase it, it's time we face it.
Let's face it, time is ticking.
Let's try to erase it, it's time we face it.
If not us, then who?
The fault is ours.
Let's try to erase it, it's time we face it.
Let's face it, time is ticking.
Let's try to erase it, it's time we face it.
If not us, then who?
The fault is ours.
Let's try to erase it, it's time we face it.
Let's face it, time is ticking.

I am telling you that there is so much confusion, trouble and fear in our world.
And what makes it so bad if it's not natural disasters, if it's not floods and fires; We do it to each other... It's deadly; it is hate; it's murder...
So I asked the Lord to breathe on us... Was it Ezekiel who asked the question, "Will these dry bones live?" He said, "Lord, do you know"...
Lord, if you would breathe on us tonight...
Father God, we seek your face
Ask for amazing grace
Come refresh our weary souls
In your presence we are healed
Lord we cry out to you
Give us the strength to get through this Oh yeah….
So many problems on earth
Flesh and blood can hardly stand it...
(Refrain)
breathe on us
Spirit breathe on me
fill my heart with longing
send your cool fire
live in me
Holy Spirit breathe Spirit breathe..
Father God, we seek your face
Ask for amazing grace
Come refresh our weary souls
In your presence we are complete... oh yes
breathe on us
Holy Spirit blow on me
fill my heart with longing
send your cool fire
live in me
Holy Spirit breathe Spirit breathe..
fall on me
Holy Spirit breathe
Oh…. To breathe……
I give everything
My heart, my mind and my soul
We humbly bow to the Lord
now in your presence
drop your power
let your voice be heard
at your command, sir
We will live again... We will live again... We will live again
breathe on us
Spirit breathe on me
fill my heart with longing
send your cool fire
live in me
Holy Spirit breathe Spirit breathe..
fall on me
Holy Spirit breathe
We need you now God
Father, we call upon you in our cities;
We cry out to you in our homes...
The jobs are gone god...
Men and women try to make it master...
Spirit blows over us
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ja….
breathe mind breathe mind
Spirit blows over us
Father, we're looking for your face
Breathe and cry out for more mercy
Breathe, show your mighty hand...
Breathe it again...
Spirit blows over us
do it again...
All power Lord
To breathe
All the Glory Lord Breathe
Everything is yours, oh god
Breathe on us now
Spirit blows over us
Touch these dry bones, God
To breathe
we will live again
To breathe
Come Lord Jesus, we need you now
Breathe Spirit breathe on us
And ………
breathe spirit
I ah...
Spirit blows on us.....
Send fresh fire, lord
To breathe
Anoint our hearts, O God
To breathe
Lord, we are humbled before you
To breathe
let's hear your voice
Spirit blows on us...
live in me
sweet holy spirit
Holy Spirit breathe
fall again mr
fall on me
You are my wish, sir
Holy Spirit breathe

Breathe Hallelujah, breathe
Hallelujah…..

[Logic:]
Jesus, black Jesus
Jesus, black Jesus
i feel so down
I think they should know by now.
I think they should know what's going on.
That's the way I went
I know how it goes down
I know how it goes now, what's up?
I feel like I don't belong
I feel like my life is wrong
I feel like I don't know what's going on
What's up
And and
And
I'm not here to choose and choose
I'm not here to sing the blues
I'm just here to spread the word.
I'm just here to break the news.
Everyone knows I do
Escuchar
I'm not ashamed to be white
I'm not ashamed to be black
In fact, I'm not ashamed of my beautiful Mexican wife.
I know you swing with it
And I'm not afraid of people telling me I should have it
Do what you love and never wonder what it might be
Everyone in my neighborhood, everyone knows I'm good
sometimes they misunderstand me
But that's just the uneducated who never joined and I feel like I'm fading
You feel like I'm fading
I can not believe it
Tell them!
mom doesn't love me
dad you don't love me
I wonder why I'm drowning in bubbly
You could be anything you want to be
Except the person you don't want to be
let 'em hate, let 'em love
I wonder if everyone still likes the above
When it matters
Make me pull up with him, holding my glove
I just want to be free
Not a slave to the stereotype
Alone in my room in the middle of the night
Words fail me, but my stereo could
I don't want to be black, I don't want to be white, I just want to be a man today
I don't want to be Christian, Muslim, gay, straight or bi, see you later, bye
Unnoticed by the things I believe in or the color of my skin
Or the fact that I'm attracted to her, maybe to him.
Or the fact that I'm a single mother
I am looking for a man and a home to call my own
but I already have one
The only man I need is my son, my son, my son, my son
son, say:
black is beautiful
be black and proud
Fuck all the haters, I'm black and I'm proud
I'm as white as that Mona Lisa
I'm as black as my cousin Keisha
I'm biracial so bye Felicia
Praise the black Jesus, call the preacher now
Maybe Jesus was black
Maybe Jesus had dreadlocks
Spiderman should be black
I'm voting for Glover instead
glove instead
like what happens
I vote for more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more
I vote for a lot more
i feel so down
I think they should know by now.
I think they should know what's going on.
That's the way I went
I know how it goes down
I know how it goes now, what's up?
I feel like I don't belong
I feel like my life is wrong
I feel like I don't know what's going on
What's up
[Logic und Damian:]
Go ahead and let your soul shine
let your soul shine
shine
shine and shine
let it shine
shine
leave it, leave it
Black Spiderman can now save a brother
Black Spiderman can now save a brother
And
let your soul shine
let your soul shine
shine
And
[Logic (Sir Dylan):]
Definitely
(What's up brother?)
Spiderman should be black
(Yes, I mean Spiderman should be black
And)
Yes man
black spider man
black superman
black santa claus

There is a light in the dark
Though the night is black like my skin
There's a light that burns bright and shows me the way
But I know where I've been
A scream sounds in the distance
It's a voice that comes from deep within
There's a cry asking why, I pray the answer is before us, yes
'Cause I know where I've been
There's a road we've traveled
I lost so many along the way
But the wealth will be enough.
It's worth the price, the price we had to pay
There is a dream in the future
There is a battle we have yet to win
And there's pride in my heart
'Cause I know where I'm going, yeah I know
And I know where I've been, yeah
There is a road we must travel
We have to make a promise
Oh but the riches, the riches will be enough
It's worth the risks and opportunities we take
There is a dream, yes, in the future
There is a battle we have yet to win
Use that pride in our hearts to lift us up until tomorrow
Because standing still would be a sin
I know, I know, I know where I'm going
Lord knows I know where I've been
Oh if we win I'll thank my god
'Cause I know where I've been

Ah Glory, Glory
Now the war is not over, victory is not yet won
And we'll fight to the end, when it's all over
We'll scream glory, oh glory
We'll scream glory, oh glory
[Community:]
Selma is now for all men, women and children.
Even Jesus got his crown in front of a crowd.
They marched with the torch, now let's run with it
Never look back, we've come hundreds of miles
From the dark streets he rose to become a hero
In the face of the Justice League, his power was the people
The enemy is deadly, a king became royal
I saw Jim Crow's face under a bald eagle
The greatest weapon is to remain in peace.
We sing, our music is the cuts we bleed
Somewhere in the dream we had a revelation
Now we correct the mistakes in the story
No one can win the war alone.
It takes the wisdom of the old and the energy of the young.
Welcome to the story we call victory
The coming of the Lord, my eyes have seen the glory
[John Legend:]
One day when glory will come
It will be ours, it will be ours
One day when the war is won
We'll be safe, we'll be safe
Ach Glorie
Glorious glorious
Ah Glory, Glory
Ah Glory, Glory
Hey glory, hey glory
[John Legend:]
When the war is won
When all is said and done
We'll scream glory, oh glory

Try to rule, try to rain on thunder
Tell the storm I'm new
I will walk, I will march regularly
Paint white flags blue
Lord forgive me I ran
Running blindly into the truth
I am a rain, I am a dominion over this bitter love
Tell the candy I'm new
I say these tears, "I'll fall, fall"
Let the last one burst into flames
Freedom! Freedom! I can not move
Freedom, let me go!
Freedom! Freedom! Where are they?
Because I need freedom too!
I break chains alone
I will not let my freedom burn in hell
listen! I will keep walking
Because a winner doesn't give up
I'm a wader, I'm a wader through the waters
'Till the tide, "Don't move"
I'm an insurgent, I'm an insurgent beyond your borders
Call me bulletproof
Lord forgive me I ran
Walking blindly in the truth
I'm a wader, I'm a wave through your shallow love
Tell the deep I'm new
I say these tears, "I'll fall, fall"
Let the last one burst into flames
Freedom! Freedom! I can not move
Freedom, let me go!
Freedom! Freedom! Where are they?
Because I need freedom too!
I break chains alone
I will not let my freedom burn in hell
listen! I will keep walking
Because a winner doesn't give up
[Kendrick Lamar:]
Ten Hail Marys, I meditate to practice (One, two)
Channel 9 messages tell me I'm moving backwards
Eight blacks left, death is right around the corner
Seven misleading statements about me
Six headlights wave at me
We will
Five-O wonders what I have in my possession
Yes, I keep running, I jump in the waterways
fire hydrants and dangerous
Smoke detectors behind us
But Mama don't cry for me, ride for me
Try for me, live for me
Breathe for me, sing for me
honesty guides me
I can be more than I need to be
I was robbed, lied to, hypocrisy of the nation
Cold inside me, take me
Wicked, my spirit inspired me
how
Opening correctional facilities in high deserts
Yes, open our minds as we shed oppression
Yes, open up the streets and see our faith.
And if they carve my name in the concrete
I pray it is always read
[Beyonce:]
Freedom! Freedom! I can not move
Freedom, let me go!
Freedom! Freedom! Where are they?
Because I need freedom too!
I break chains alone
I will not let my freedom burn in hell
listen! I will keep walking
Because a winner doesn't give up
[Kendrick Lamar:]
What do you want from me?
Is it true that you see, huh? Oh father can you hear me?
What do you want from me?
Is it true that you see, huh? Oh father can you hear me?
Listen to me?

Peace is more than the absence of war

absence of war, you and me
Maybe we can finally say
Enough is enough, it's time to love
It's time to listen
It's time to hear guitar play, guitar play
Baltimore, more and more
If there is no justice, then there is no peace
If there is no justice, then there is no peace

brothers and sisters
Listen, listen, listen
I swear we'll never find our way to where we're going alone
Don't take your eyes off the road

Speak Now
Speak Now
Can you hear the angels singing loud?
Speak Now
Speak Now

To the message of hope in the whispering of the spirits

For children will grow from the seeds we sow
they listen, they listen
Listen

I swear we'll never find our way to where we're going alone
Don't take your eyes off the road

Raise every voice and sing by Alicia Keys
Raise every voice and sing
Until the earth and the sky ring
Ring with the harmonies of freedom
let our joy rise
High as the listening sky
Let it ring loud like the rolling sea...CONTINUE READING
Sing a song of faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song of hope that the present has brought to us
In view of the rising sun, our new day has begun
Let us march until victory is won
Let us march until victory is won
Let us march until victory is won
Let's march to victory

Little boy in a small town
I did my best to fit in
Broke my heart in the playground, mmm
When they said I was different...CONTINUE READING
[Vorchor]
Oh now
Now I'm an adult and nothing has changed
Yes, it's still the same
[Coro]
It's a hard life on a plain road
Just white-painted picket fences as far as the eye can see
If you think we live in the land of freedom
You should try to be black like me
[Verso 2]
My father worked day and night.
For an old house and a used car
Just to live this good life, mm
It shouldn't be twice as hard
[Vorchor]
Oh now
Now I'm an adult and nothing has changed
Yes it's still the same
[Coro]
It's a hard life on the easy road
Just white-painted picket fences as far as the eye can see
If you think we live in the land of freedom
You should try to be black like me
[Puente]
Oh oh oh oh
I know
I'm not
The only
Oh me
who feels
Like me
I do not belong to it
[Coro]
It's a hard life on the easy road
Just white-painted picket fences as far as the eye can see
And if you think we live in the land of the free
You should try to be black like me
[Miscellaneous]
Oh and one day we'll all be free
And I'm proud to be black like me
And I'm proud to be black like me
I'm proud to be black like me
black like me
#29A CHANGE IS COMING by Sam Cooke
Click here to watch the music video
I was born in a small shop by the river
Oh and just like the river I've been walking ever since
It took a long, long time
But I know a change is coming, oh yes it will...CONTINUE READING
It was too hard to live, but I'm scared of dying
'Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It took a long, long time
But I know a change is coming, oh yes it will
I go to the cinema and I go downtown
Someone keeps telling me don't stay
It took a long, long time
But I know a change is coming, oh yes it will
then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother help me please"
But he ends up beating me
back on your knees
There were times when I thought I couldn't last long
But now I think I can move on
It took a long, long time
But I know a change is coming, oh yes it will
#30NOT ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN ARE FREE by Johnny Cash
Click here to watch the music video
I would sing more about the morals of this country
But not all children of God are free
I would open all the doors I can
Because not all children of God are free...CONTINUE READING
I met a broken, beaten man
He shovels dirt but has no dirt
and stretched out his hand
All of God's children are not free
I would also sing a stupid song
But not all children of God are free
I'll sing the blues for the men who did wrong
Because not all children of God are free
Lord, what about the man you sentence to death?
But take everything you live for
And reject it from society.
All of God's children are not free
No, reject him from society.
All of God's children are not free
I would be happy to walk down any street
But not all children of God are free
I would smile for all I know
But not all children of God are free
I would whistle on the side, but it wouldn't feel right
I would hear someone cry at night
From a sharecropper's shack or jail
All of God's children are not free
From a sharecropper's shack or jail
All of God's children are not free

Stand in line, mark the time
Waiting for Social Security
Why can't they buy a job?
The man in the silk suit hurries by.
As he catches the poor old lady's gaze
Just for fun says: "Get a job"
It's just how it is
Some things never change
It's just how it is
Ah, but don't believe them
Said hey little boy you can't go where the others go
Why don't you look like her?
He said hey man how can you bear to think like that?
And did you really think about it before making the rules?
said son
It's just how it is
Some things never change
It's just how it is
Ah, but don't believe them, yes
It's just how it is
It's just how it is
Well, they passed legislation in '64
To give to those who don't have a little more
But it only goes so far
Because the law doesn't change someone else's mind
When everything is seen in the setting
It's the light in the color bar, no
It's just how it is
Some things never change
It's just how it is
It is, is, is, is
