Let’s Go Back!!

Let’s Go Back, back in time, where we began to rhyme
Singing hymns to kill times, of inequality,
let’s go back where we loved each other
while marching for justice

Let’s Go Back, to where it was second nature
to stand against oppression,
where we were naturally united
fighting discrimination to have liberation

Let’s Go Back, and pay tribute
to those who fought for the freedoms we have today
and show our children we are more than hustles for a quick dollar
we were hustlers for change in our communities and government

Let's Go Back as a people so we can move forward
for our battle of equality that’s still being fought today
let's not wait for another leader, let’s act now
and stand up for a better tomorrow
