Diana Gordon - Unify lyrics

These are the struggles that we face
They ain't gonna go away
Until we make a change
So far, we haven't done a thing
But sit back and complain
And let people tell us who we are

If we wanna make it tight
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry
If we wanna make it right
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry
I keep a watchful eye, over my baby brother
Responsibility, every woman is a mother
When there's no father in the picture
It's likely he'll go astray, he'll go astray
Yeah he'll chase his dream
On the big silver screen
Or the court, chances he'll make the team
A thousand to one
And after that, there's nowhere to turn
Nowhere to turn

These are the struggles that we face
They ain't gonna go away
Until we make a change
So far, we haven't done a thing
But sit back and complain
And let people tell us who we are

If we wanna make it tight
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry
If we wanna make it right
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry
Poverty is where we grow
Videos are all we know get a bitch
Now drive a whip and turn a trick
We love them hoes
The only way to make a dollar
Selling weed up on the corner
Killing future son and daughters lives
Violence and drugs and gangs
More models in magazines
Having sex and pregnant teens
It's what we do, it ain't no thing
That's how we spend our money fast
Should be making money last
Instead, we spend it on Chinese
Food and the latest trends

These are the struggles that we face
They ain't gonna go away
Until we make a change
So far, we haven't done a thing
But sit back and complain
And let people tell us who we are

If we wanna make it tight
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry
If we wanna make it right
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry
All those who succeed
Need to help the others no man left behind
In spirit, he's your brother
You are not alone if we stick together
Sun or stormy weather
Baby, keep your head up
All those who succeed
Need to help the others no man left behind
In spirit, he's your brother
You are not alone if we stick together
Sun or stormy weather
Let me hear my people cry

These are the struggles that we face
They ain't gonna go away
Until we make a change
So far, we haven't done a thing
But sit back and complain
And let people tell us who we are

If we wanna make it right
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry
If we wanna make it right
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry

These are the struggles that we face
They ain't gonna go away
Until we make a change
So far, we haven't done a thing
But sit back and complain
And let people tell us who we are

If we wanna make it right
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry
If we wanna make it right
Come together, unify
Wanna make a better life
Let me hear my people cry

I wanna hear you cry i wanna hear you cry
I wanna hear you say I wanna make a change
I wanna see you pick up and do things
I wanna see you make a change
I wanna see you help out your brother
