Lakecia Benjamin - Amerikkan Skin Intro Lyrics

I dream of a world where peace is possible
For every man, for every nation, for every creed
Where the sun shines down
And we truly know what it means to live
Love, learn and be free together
Tonight we are celebrating joy
And power and freedom and unity and justice and equality
For every man, woman and child out there
Because we come in love, because we come in light
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, EJ

Peace to everybody, every human in Christ
Who rolling the dice, tryin' to get nice nothing can suffice
We overloaded as a nation, as a people
We are feeble, sitting here lifting dreams up
We're on a mission, an expedition
Don't need permission to erase the acquisition of society
We all dream, we all fear
But we need to find a way against the stigma
And the words of the ghetto as the beat is mellow
Forget what we need, revolution and hope
We're scheming for broke, demanding our dope, the world's a joke

And the old folks say, I am somebody
What did they say? I am somebody
What did they mean? I am somebody
Live your visions and dreams
The revolution said, all power to the people
What did they say? All power to the people
What did they mean? All power to people
And that's by any means necessary
This is Amerikkan Skin y'all, I hope you enjoy it
