A Place In This World Lyrics

No justice or justification
We trust in God but can't trust in a nation
The cusp of generations searching for a ventilation
If 2020 vision is any indication of where we are
Where we've been, where do we go
American ain't legible
My rights are being left behind
In questioning times they say invest in us
Trying to rest my mind
The press be pressed to find stories by my kind
I suggest the climb
Though many, many holler about justice reform
But won't put dollars where the hustle is born
You know our politicians, they love to perform
Acting and singing that government song
How they love America when you loving it wrong?
We the people are becoming reborn

Cannot understand it
I still believe that there's a place in this world
For people just like me
People all around world (please stand up)
I still believe that there's a place in this world
A place for me and you

Cannot understand it (oh)
I still believe that there's a place in this world
For people just like me
People all around world (stand up)
I still believe that there's a place in this world
A place for me and you

Elastic winner in America
There's more content than there is character
Truth is we starring at a derringer
Old ways is the barrel that's damning us
We better cross and cross rivers
A stolen soul and lost figures told by Doc Rivers
Movement of the people, we take God with us
And recreate equal that will outlive us
Delivered to this earth with authority
Never thought of myself as a minority
Cordial invites to far left and alt-rights
I'm from the Bob Marley party, everything'll be alright
You say, "All life matters"
But you pay it no mind when Black life shatters
I know there's light the end of the struggle
Revolution and love is like a couple

Cannot understand it
I still believe that there's a place in this world
For people just like me
People all around world (please stand up)
I still believe that there's a place in this world
A place for me and you

Cannot understand it (oh)
I still believe that there's a place in this world
For people just like me
People all around world (stand up)
I still believe that there's a place in this world
A place for me and you
