[C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _ [D#] We [F#m] could be free _ _ [B] _ _ if we only knew [C#m] we were slaves [G#m] to the pains of [A] each other.
One [F#m] thing I believe [B] I could learn to see [C#m] my [E] enemy as my [A] brother.
[F#m] Then we could be free, _ [B] truly, _ and [C#m] love could wash [B] away all our [A] sorrows.
I'm [F#m] not afraid to bleed [E] if it [B] means we'll make [C#m] up better [B] today, not [A] tomorrow.

One day I dream of telling [B] my mama, you ain't gotta work no [C#m] more.
Same from [B] my father, [A] born in Ghana, down on that dirt [F#m] road floor.
Far as he came, I [B] can't complain, but pain is so [C#m] subjective.
Spend so much [B] time counting [A] issues, I forget [F#m] to count my blessings.
Watch my cousins back [B] at home getting water out a well,
[C#m] while I watch my [G#m] brothers stacking [A] stone, whipping water by the [F#m] scale.
Trying to get a meal on the other [B] side, they ain't got a meal.
We don't recognize we in [C#m] heaven, so we think we [B] live in hell.
It's been [A] getting kind of hard to [C#] tell.
[F#m] _
Sometimes I wake up and [F#] I look up in the sky,
[C#m] asking why I'm alive when [A] the realest niggas die.
But [F#m] my pride won't let me [F#] give up, Lord, as hard as I try.
[C#m] In those times I tried to [E] remember [N] _ _
that _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] we [F#m] could be free
_ _ [B] _ if we only knew we were [C#m] slaves to [B] the pains of each [A] other.
One thing [F#m] I believe if [B] I could learn to see my [C#m] enemy as my [A] brother,
we [C#] could [F#m] be free, _ [B] truly.
_ And love [C#m] could wash away all the [A] sorrows.
I'm not [F#m] afraid to bleed [B] if it leads.
We'll make a [C#m] better [G#m] day, not tomorrow.

[C#m] I don't want to be the [G#m] new sacrifice.
[A] I don't want to turn into a poltergeist, be a ghost at night [E] full of broken [B] dreams.
Mama crying that her orphaned cats [C#m] get cold.
It's ice [B] in a suit, three [A]-piece, all [C#] dressed up for Sunday [F#m] matches.
Pastors say [E] put faith in God, [B] but faith alone can't make things [C#m] right.
Fuck is you [E] to [A] patronize somebody's son who daddy died?
Why they [E] flood Baton Rouge?
[B] Why the city singing Alton's blues?
[C#m] Why, why, [G#m] why, why?
I feel like [A] Jada Kiss every [B] time I watch the news.
[F#m] What the fuck I got [E] to lose?
So I'm [B] down to bleed if it means things improve.
[C#m] You fools saying [G#m] all lies matter, [A] but it's black lies you refuse to include.
Blocked from the [E] polls, locked in a hood, [B] trying to stop you from voting and stop you from [C#m] growing.
The cops keep [B] blowing and blowing, keep black [A] people [C#] rocking the cot and they don't want you to own.
[F#] But sometimes I wake up and I look up in [B] the sky, asking why I survived all the [E] days that I could have died.
[F#] Who am I in my place to [B] contemplate suicide?
[A] In those times I tried to remember that we could [F#m] be free.
[E] _ _ [B] Truly, if we only [C#m] knew we were [C#] slaves to the pains [A] of each other.
