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
