Hard Times

Mama, tell me please what I'm gonna do
Loving, is such a word that they never knew

I thought hitler was dead
When I first came here
It hit me like a hammer
I know I get a gun, day by day
Hate grows inside our brains

Discrimination still holds the keys
Hate is burning, killing innocent lives
Sickness of your mind has made you blind
To see, for what you fight

And I pray to see the sunrise in your eyes

Mama, tell me please what I'm gonna do
Loving, is such a word they never knew
Hate, is shimmering in their eyes
Making them blind

Hard times, coming our way
Wondering who's going to survive

Headlines, I read everyday
East-west never gonna be the same
Racism outside my door, trying to get it
Stop knocking for more

History has shown us
What it's like to believe
In one symbol
One flag, one nation, I'm the leader
I'm gonna get you education

Mama, tell me please what I'm gonna do
Loving, is such a word I never knew
Hate, is shimmering in their eyes
Making them blind

Hard times, coming our way
Wondering who's going to survive

Mama, tell me please
Loving, is such a word I never knew
Hate, is shimmering in my eyes
Burning in my brain

Hard times, coming our way
Wondering who's going to survive
