There has to be a way Over this stumbling block Some way Oh there has to be a way To reach the precipice top Some way My fore parents came here long time ago With a dirty plan that was oh, so low They came here searching for fortune and fame Sugar and slaves was the name of the game And now the legacy falls like rain I can see the anger and I feel the pain Oh there has to be a way Some way Over this stumbling block Some way Oh there has to be a way To reach the precipice top Some way
Guilty conscience got the better of me A river of tears that no one can see Oh that family of mine, they've committed a crime And now it bears down on this mind of mine When I think of the blood and the history And how my land is left with the legacy
Oh there has to be a way Over this stumbling block Some way Oh there has to be a way To reach the precipice top Some way
Because the system they've made It puts us all in a shade They say if you're black, get back And if you're brown, stick around And if you're white, you're allright But I know, it's not right
Oh there has to be a way Over this stumbling block Some way Oh there has to be a way To reach the precipice top
