You taught us wrong you taught us right
You told us black and then said white
What would we do if it weren't for you
You told us this you told us that
You gave us rights can't take them back
What would we do if it weren't for you
We're not expendable don't you try to break us down
What would you do what would it prove
We gonna win you gonna to lose
There's no escaping what's about to go down
What would you do what would it prove
So if your feeling down keep it up
Just keep it up yeah right around
Now don't you take it wrong take it right
Just take it right and it will turn right around
Spinning spinning so
The constant time wheel to buy more corn meal
Puts pressure on our backs everyday
So when you take a stalk
Looks like the value the value dissolve
And with the prices lifted the weight seems shifted
Everybody ready for the show
But when the game just start
Look like them fumble dem fumble dem ball yeah
This is your child dream there's no one to straighten up your bed
You are meek and poor who's gonna pay the cost of your living
No child dream there's no one to stay and guard your head
You are weak and poor who's gonna
Oh don't you take this wrong
Take it right just take it right yeah and it will turn
Right around it will turn it will turn
Man prove me wrong do it right
Just do it right yeah right around
Your heart is breaking there's no one to straighten your bed
You are meek and poor no one's here to straighten your day
No child dream there's no one to stay and guard your head
You are weak and poor who's gonna pay
Oh don't you take this wrong
Take it right just take it right yeah
And it will turn right around well if you're proven wrong
Take it right just take it right yeah
