Come A long Way - Tanya Stephens[00:00:00]

Written by：V. Stephenson/A. Henton[00:00:01]

So we come a long way from the chains and the cane fields[00:00:12]

A long way from the back oh[00:00:16]

Shoulda brought along a little map for the travelling[00:00:19]

Seems we've come a long way from us[00:00:22]

Squander our money waiting on reparation[00:00:25]

Never make plans for retirement day[00:00:28]

Who's to be blamed for our lack of preparation[00:00:31]

Now we done spent every dime of our pay[00:00:34]

On big pimping flossing every dollar[00:00:38]

We've got on the much less fortunate[00:00:40]

Small thinking got us bound tighter[00:00:44]

Than the chains that we try to forget[00:00:47]

So tell me now Malcom do we hurt you pride[00:00:49]

Can you hear me now Rosa[00:00:55]

Was it worth the ride[00:00:58]

Do you see me now Marcus[00:01:01]

We're still not unified no we're not[00:01:04]

So tell me now Martin is this why you died easy[00:01:08]

So we've come a long way from picking cotton[00:01:15]

Many never thought they'd live to see the day when bush pick rice[00:01:17]

But if all you've become is another house[00:01:21]

Nigga baby tell me was it worth all the sacrifice[00:01:24]

Get outa my way while I climb to the top now[00:01:28]

But be sure to catch me if I fall from grace[00:01:31]

Cause heaven forbid[00:01:34]

If what I chase should reject me[00:01:35]

You know I'm gonna need a warm black embrace[00:01:37]

We used to stack guns prepare for revolution[00:01:41]

Was the only way of getting wrong put right[00:01:44]

Now we think all our problems[00:01:46]

Can be solved with shooting[00:01:48]

And we've forgot why we started to fight[00:01:50]

Now Malcom do we hurt you pride[00:01:53]

Can you hear me now Rosa[00:01:58]

Was it worth the ride[00:02:01]

Do you see me now Marcus[00:02:05]

We're still not unified no we're not[00:02:07]

So tell me now Martin is this why you died easy[00:02:11]

So we belittle we bredda so we can seem bigger[00:02:18]

Now we so damn proud fi call we self nigga[00:02:21]

And being a good man is a bad thing[00:02:24]

Now being a bad man is a good thing[00:02:28]

So it's rich or poor black or white[00:02:31]

Sit and be trampled or get up and fight[00:02:34]

After so many years it's still hard to adjust[00:02:37]

Even when the front is empty we still move to the back of the bus[00:02:40]

Tell me Rosa what's pride the right[00:02:43]

Can you hear me now Malcom[00:02:49]

No we hurt your pride[00:02:52]

Do you see me now Marcus[00:02:55]

We're still not unified no we're not[00:02:58]

So tell me now Martin is this why you died[00:03:02]

Tell me tell me now[00:03:07]
