[00:24.51]At the river
[00:25.89]Where the water´s red
[00:27.15]They gave us different names
[00:28.41]To justify the ownership
[00:30.21]Rules are still the same
[00:31.56]Chances we don't get
[00:33.15]Still we´re showing love
[00:34.17]To everyone that shows respect
[00:36.09]At the river
[00:37.35]Is where they used to trade
[00:39.00]Our ancestors
[00:40.26]How can we not relate
[00:41.67]The story goes so deep
[00:43.02]Not looking for revenge
[00:44.37]Looking for solutions
[00:45.51]Till the day we´ll smile again
[00:49.77]As I went down in the river to pray
[00:53.67]Studying about them good ol' ways and who shall wear the robe and crown
[01:00.12]Good lord show me the way
[01:00.99]Ooooh Brothers

[01:14.37]At the river
[01:15.39]Nothings gonna be the same
[01:16.89]You took us away
[01:17.85]But karma has a different game plan

[01:22.74]You don't see it in the news
[01:24.06]But it happens everyday man
[01:25.92]At the river
[01:26.85]Expose so we can change
[01:28.20]No more others you should blame
[01:29.58]That's the price you gotta pay for peace
[01:32.37]Nothings gonna be the same
[01:33.84]Because history is made
[01:35.25]But black people still ain't safe
[01:36.93]As I went down in the river to pray
[01:39.90]Studying about them good ol' ways and who shall wear the robe and crown

[01:47.40]Too many of my people tired
[02:03.42]10 million souls but you can never handle 45
[02:07.11]Martin Luther had a dream and died
[02:09.72]300 years after the very first boats arrived
[02:11.82]Too many people asking why
[02:14.85]Oppression is the reason you see pain
[02:16.65]Inna Black Mans eye.
[02:18.90]Too many of my people died story goes so deep
[02:21.48]That you can never ever close your eyes
[02:24.66]They never called it Genocide
[02:26.37]Even when they learned about equality and humans' rights
[02:30.48]They even planned to justify
[02:33.18]2020 is the outcome cuz we‘ve stayed
[02:34.50]Too quiet
[02:36.27]The energy might shiver
[02:37.68]But positivity is what we need more than ever never
[02:41.97]Story's Must be remembered
[02:43.56]The truth is we're stronger and better
[02:45.24]Together
