This Time Around

[Intro]

Things ain’t been perfect

No need to make ‘em worse

I know that you’re fed up

Gotta keep your head up

This time around

I don’t want no trouble

I can feel your struggle, yeah

We can make it better

You and me together

This time around

[Verse 1]

Oh my

Oh my

They don’t care how I live

They don’t care how I die

I can hope for the best

But it’s hard for me to see progress

When we slip and fall back like we slippin clocks back

Are we living in the past? I guess

No excuse for the troops or the youth

If you can’t bring change what’s the use?

I expect those in a vest, badge on their chest to respect those they put in check

Or at least please be professional at the most

Take it slow

All these funeral processionals

I’m tired of that, tired of that

Where I live

Where I live

They swear they don’t care to kill

But this time around we should turn it all around

Right now, right now

[Chorus]

I know that we can do this better

This time around (3x)

I know

Do it better, yeah (2x)

This time around (3x)

[Verse 2]

I see a little bit of you in me

A little bit of me in you

Don’t let me go

Don’t let me go astray

I believe that we were meant to

Meant to be kings and queens

Do you, do you believe

I need to just breathe

If you could only see

That we were meant to

That we were meant to be kings and queens

[Chorus]

I know that we can do this better

This time around (3x)

I know

Do it better, yeah (2x)

This time around (3x)

[Bridge]

And I know it’s not you, it’s me

And I know it’s not you, it’s you

You can open your eyes, see what’s inside you

I just believe

Yes I believe

Oh I believe in you and me

This time around
