We 18 now ain't no holdin us back
We in a new era now
And we bout 2 attack
Bout to have a new president
And guess what, he black
No more reasons 4 failing and
Not graduating school its 2008
Lets not mistake fool 4 cool
Like Martin we can dream but it’s so
Much easier 2 wake up and make our dreams come true
Good things don't come easy
But having faith is something God put in me and you
Be strong my sister, my brother, my associate, my friend
It's time 4 a change all the hatin must end
Love all put the discrimination aside
Hold ya head high as we lead in black pride
We'd stand even taller if we'd just join hands
This isn't ours it's God's land
We walk on our own feet and follow many different footsteps
We act as if we could do it alone when in reality
We all need help
I need you as much as you need me 2 survive
Continue 2 move 2 the top and keep the spirit alive
The change that slaves prayed 4 is finally here
Thank God 4 that and remember
He's all we have 2 fear...
