RUN
When you have no where else to go
RUN
Everyone is coming down on you
RUN
selfish acts brutal come backs
RUN
Counting down my time left till I die
RUN
Changing my appearance to appease the whites
RUN
Don't know if this is a trap or a lie
RUN
Fight for what I believe in or be ashamed
RUN
For a little while things can be okay
Stay
Momma used to tell me everything that's worth your time is worth fighting for
Stay
I know what's worth my time is worth dying for
Stay
Blacks and whites can be one once more?
Stay
I don't want to RUN any longer
I'll stay
We can fight side by side one day?
I'll stay
No longer going to be labeled as a negro
I'll fight
Die for my country die for my rights
I'll die
Home where I belong and where I feel safe
I'm home and I will not run any more
