As I Went Down

At the river Where the water's red They gave us different names To justify the ownership Rules are still the same Chances we don't get Still we're showing love To everyone that shows respect At the river Is where they used to trade Our ancestors How can we not relate The story goes so deep Not looking for revenge Looking for solutions Till the day we'll smile again As I went down in the river to pray Studying about them good ol' ways and Who shall wear the robe and crown Good lord show me the way Ooooh Brothers Let's go down Ooohhh Sisters Let's go down Oooohhhh sinners let's go Down Down in the the river to pray At the river Nothings gonna be the same You took us away But karma has a different game plan Yeah Till this day we're having slaves man You don't see it in the news But it happens everyday man At the river Expose so we can change No more others you should blame That's the price you gotta pay for peace Nothings gonna be the same Because history is made But black people still ain't safe As I went down in the river to pray Studying about them good ol' ways and Who shall wear the robe and crown Good lord show me the way Ooooh Brothers Let's go down Ooohhh Sisters Let's go down Oooohhhh sinners let's go Down Down in the the river to pray Too many of my people tired 10 million souls but you can never handle 45 Martin Luther had a dream and died 300 years after the very first boats arrived Too many people asking why Oppression is the reason you see pain Inna Black Mans eye Too many of my people died story goes so deep That you can never ever close your eyes They never called it Genocide Even when they learned about equality and humans' rights They even planned to justify 2020 is the outcome cuz we've stayed Too quiet The energy might shiver But positivity is what we need more than ever never Story's Must be remembered The truth is we're stronger and better Together
