  • 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 change
    To create some equal opportunities

    Cold stares can never put the fear in me
    There's a movement we've been groovin' 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)
