ONCE AGAIN

[Intro] You all thought I would just gonna like Sit there and accept that And not- and not- and not continue Like, like I wasn't about this shit in the first place It's all coming down Listen up, motherfucker [Verse 1] I woke up for the first time In a long time feeling alright Then said something don't feel right Why do I feel like the war just began? What do I believe when Satan be evil but angels be sleazy It don't get no easier when (Whatchu you talking about?) They change like the wind and pretend like it's breezy Shit ain't alright, I waited all night To hear some good news, but this just all right I feel my whole life was one big car ride And every left turn, I felt the far right (You damn right) At least you got something right This ain't the best but at least it's progress So go ahead and have fun tonight Because, tomorrow this blessing will become a lesson [Chorus] You can do what you want We gon' do what we have to when It all falls down, once again You can do what you want We gon' do what we have to when It all comes down, once again [Verse 2] Fell on some hard times and when y'all die They resurrect them soft lies That big blue wall we all climb Then walk along these red lines See, I ain't with that When they politickin' Y'all sit back and just sign petitions These mishaps ain't of the mystics Add up generations of long division Do you feel it? Does it effect you? Out of sight, out of mind, that's a blurry ass view When we kneeling y'all act real indignant But you ain't say shit When Derek Chauvin did it, bitch [Chorus] You can do what you want We gon' do what we have to when It all falls down, once again You can do what you want We gon' do what we have to when It all comes down, once again [Bridge] Now that I got your attention I know we can do better than this But the first thing we have to agree on is that we We are no better than them If we are nothing more Than cogs in a machine There must be something more To America than a dream [Chorus] (You can do what you want We gon' do what we have to when) You can do what you want We gon' do what we have to when It all falls down, once again You can do what you want We gon' do what we have to when It all comes down, once again Once again
