We've been through it all

Though it could be worse

We've been moved around

In a state of alert

There's nothing new or sharp about the cutting edge

If they build a wall

Let's jump the fence, I'm over this

Cold stares can never put the fear in me

What we built here is godly

They can't gentrify the heart of kings

Let's just not talk about it

If I make a move, you're coming with me

What about the love? Coming with me

What about the labor? Coming with me

What about the seed? It's coming with me

People that you came with coming with me

What about the love? Coming with me

What about the labor? Coming with me

What about the seed? It's coming with me

People that you came with, ya coming with me

Hey

(Okay now) Hey now

(Just don't stay down)

Uh, can't stay now

(Let's go shake down)

Until we get what we need, oh yeah

(Okay now) I'm okay now

(Just don't stay down)

Yeah, can't hold me down

(Let's go shake down)

And let it fall like the leaves, I want it all

We couldn't stand to see

Our children shot dead in the streets

But when I finally took a knee

Them crackers took me out the league

Now I'm not much for games

But I play for keeps

And we salute King James for using his chains

To create some equal opportunities

Cold stares can never put the fear in me

There's a movement we've been grooving on

You can move or stay your ass asleep

Let's just not talk about it

Everything they tried to hide

We're taking back for yours and mine

What about the love? Coming with me

What about the labor? Coming with me

What about the seed? It's coming with me

People that you came with coming with me

What about the love? Coming with me

What about the labor? Coming with me

What about the seed? It's coming with me

People that you came with, ya coming with me

What about the love

What about the seed? It's coming with me

What about the love? Coming with me

What about the seed? It's coming with me

People that you came with, ya coming with me

Okay now

Just don't stay down

Let's go shake down

(Shake, shake, shake, shake)

Okay now

Just don't stay down

Let's go shake down

(Shake, shake, shake, shake)
