[Intro: Urban Mystic & Trick Daddy]
Look in the mirror, check ya self, yeah (Mmm)
All black folk stand up (Oh yeah)
Keep your hands up high in the air, it's gon' get better
[Chorus: Urban Mystic & Trick Daddy]
We might see the sunshine
Even though it snow sometimes (The more you complain 'bout it, the harder it's gon' get)
And the world might never see the rain
But we know we can all make a change, yeah (We got to better ourselves)
Listen, yeah
[Verse 1: Trick Daddy]
How 'bout a song for them single baby mamas
With them sorry ass baby daddies, y'all niggas
How you gon' have kids out there
And you don't nothin' for 'em, and actin' like you don't care
How the hell we gonna better ourselves
If we just let our self, self-destruct
And how the fuck we gon' ever have somethin'?
When niggas always wantin' but don't wanna work fo' nothin'
But ain't nothin' left to blame it on
Don't sing no slave song 'cause niggas gotta move on
Hell, it's been over seventy years
And seems shit's gettin' worse and worse, each and every year
[Chorus: Urban Mystic]
We might see the sunshine
Even though it snow sometimes, yeah
And the world might never see the rain, oh yeah
But we know we can all make a change, yeah
Listen, yeah
[Verse 2: Urban Mystic]
We need a world that's free, where kids can breathe
Not worry how the police harass our teens
And, whatever happened to the man you heard?
Show black people struggle for pain endured
James Byrd was his name, see it pays to learn
But it's hard when the dope is yo' main concern
Gotta, get it together that's what mama would say
Some days pour with the thunder, but the sun'll come way
Maybe we could find a day, not far from now
When our troops come home no gunshots now
When our mouth move Harris and Fredrick's goal
The way we livin' right now is unacceptable
Young babies bein' found in receptacles
And the drugs in the streets too acceptable
When you live this life, it's really hard to change
But I know we shall overcome someday
[Chorus: Urban Mystic]
We might see the sunshine (Oh, we might see)
Even though it snow sometimes (Even though it might snow)
And the world might never see the rain (And it might never see the rain)
But we know we can all make a change, yeah (Oh we can all make a change, yeah)
Listen, yeah
[Verse 3: Trick Daddy & Urban Mystic]
We need us another Dr. King
'Cause since we've been free, we done forgot our dream
Now I done, read books about how Rosa Parks
Played a part in all of this, yes
And about the gangstas they had slaved like Kunta Kinte
Who held it down back in them days
And 'bout the long trips, on the slave ships
When we captured us and brought us from Africa
And how the bastards made call 'em masters
Break our world with them mix breedin' all of our children
What the use of us growin' old?
When all of our children dyin' young or in jail 'fore they 21?
Tell me that
I don't know, but I know
We might see
[Chorus: Urban Mystic]
We might see the sunshine (Ohh, we might see)
Even though it snow sometimes, yeah (Ohh, it might snow, y'all)
And the world might never see the rain (Might never see the rain)
But we know we can all make a change, yeah (Ooh, we can all make a change, y'all)
Listen, yeah
[Outro: Urban Mystic]
Come on, come on
Ohh, we might see
Come on, come on
Ohh, it might show, y'all
