[Intro]
You all thought I would just gonna like
Sit there and accept that
And not- and not- and not continue
Like, like I wasn't about this shit in the first place
It's all coming down
Listen up, motherfucker

[Verse 1]
I woke up for the first time
In a long time feeling alright
Then said something don't feel right
Why do I feel like the war just began?
What do I believe when
Satan be evil but angels be sleazy
It don't get no easier when (Whatchu you talking about?)
They change like the wind and pretend like it's breezy
Shit ain't alright, I waited all night
To hear some good news, but this just all right
I feel my whole life was one big car ride
And every left turn, I felt the far right (You damn right)
At least you got something right
This ain't the best but at least it's progress
So go ahead and have fun tonight
Because, tomorrow this blessing will become a lesson
[Chorus]
You can do what you want
We gon' do what we have to when
It all falls down, once again
You can do what you want
We gon' do what we have to when
It all comes down, once again

[Verse 2]
Fell on some hard times and when y'all die
They resurrect them soft lies
That big blue wall we all climb
Then walk along these red lines
See, I ain't with that
When they politickin'
Y'all sit back and just sign petitions
These mishaps ain't of the mystics
Add up generations of long division
Do you feel it? Does it effect you?
Out of sight, out of mind, that's a blurry ass view
When we kneeling y'all act real indignant
But you ain't say shit
When Derek Chauvin did it, bitch

[Chorus]
You can do what you want
We gon' do what we have to when
It all falls down, once again
You can do what you want
We gon' do what we have to when
It all comes down, once again
[Bridge]
Now that I got your attention
I know we can do better than this
But the first thing we have to agree on is that we
We are no better than them
If we are nothing more
Than cogs in a machine
There must be something more
To America than a dream

[Chorus]
(You can do what you want
We gon' do what we have to when)
You can do what you want
We gon' do what we have to when
It all falls down, once again
You can do what you want
We gon' do what we have to when
It all comes down, once again
Once again
