Unity, there can be no unity until we have
first proven acceptable to ourselves.
I was told from my mama that I
won't find peace unless me.
If there ain't even peace in my own land
If you don't feel the urgency
Cause we ain't got no time to sink
United we stand, divided we fall
Sure at least once tears had to fall
Strive to be more than we are
I try but I pray that you help us,
Misery loves company and it's over
but he don't want us getting along
Warned over loved ones from a grudge,
Strong beliefs, mine and yours,
why it take long to get on, I need help
there ain't even peace in my own land
If you don't feel the urgency
Cause we ain't got the time to sing
Go through in sanity but can
it be our family structure
Is the base while our race and
Vice versa, mother and fathers
The kids don't control they fate.
Parents don't feel like being
Tell them that you gon' be there when
Neither when you get there,
you wind up showing up late.
You're not a parent giving money
to replace your upbringing.
A check with an empty space,
now you're becoming a blank.
There can be no u -u -u -u -u -u -unity u -u -u -u -u until we
have first proven acceptable to ourselves.
We cannot think of being acceptable
Peace, rally, riot, marches, demonstrations for war,
communities, street rules, and the
of law, information filled gaps from generations before,
I hope, but we immediately find ways
to break treaties we signed that legally bind
the lands that the seas divide where people
reside, and I look at the miracles that
what do I answer when I'm asked
we all want to be number one so we nod as one, I hope.
I was told from my momma that I
won't find peace in this man
If there ain't even peace in my own land
If you don't feel the urgency
There can be no u -u -u -u -u -unity u -u -u -until we
have first proven ac ceptable to ourselves
We cannot think of being acceptable
