I pledge allegiance to the flag
Of the United States of America (We had a dream)
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice for all
Uh, now everybody take a knee
Alright, that's enough, get up, 'cause I can barely breathe
It seems keeping up with race may not really be your speed
But there's just as much Tebow as Kaepernick in me, yeah
See I got white brothers that I love alot
Who know nothing 'bout underhanded cops
My dad would tell the story, now we used to hearing pop
Here's the twist in the plot
You would make it, I might not
Sure, sirens can make anybody nervous
And no disrespect to the ones who protect and serve us
I just don't wanna watch another funeral service
'Cause no lives matter in the media circus
Is it Black vs. White or is it Dark vs. Light?
Pick a side in this fight 'cause it's Wrong vs. Right
Man, you'll always close the doors if you think people are strange
But as long as we're alive just know that people can change
Even you
Come talk to me, why don't you come talk to me?
Don't start walking away
We had a dream and the dream got taken away (We had a dream)
Come talk to me, why don't you wanna talk to me?
You just keep walking away (We had a dream)
We had a dream that was born in the USA (Talk to me)
Slippery slope, I'm tryna level the floor, yeah
I'm giving you hope, you're tryna settle the score
We won't trade the lies we believe for the truth we ignore
Makes me wonder what I'm doing this for
And when the trap gets set, remain calm
The cops or the robbers, who do they call?
Robin Hoods like Peter just to repay Paul
And the church so apalled that we became Saul (Stop)
So when I see a brother in need or a brother on knee
It really makes no difference to me
'Cause we're either united or we're all untied
Whatever you believe will show when you speak
And everybody's good 'til they gotta be good
As long as they're doing what you think they should, uh
Who's my neighbor? The story's been told
So don't cross to the other side of the road beautiful dreamer
Come talk to me, why don't you come talk to me?
Don't start walking away
You had a dream but the dream is fading away (We had a dream)
Come talk to me, why don't you wanna talk to me?
You just keep walking away (We had a dream)
We had a dream that was born in the USA
Say it with me
I love you (I love you)
I love me (I love me)
Now say
I love you (I love you)
I love me (I love me)
I love you (I love you)
I love me (I love me)
Okay now
God loves you (God loves you)
God loves me (God loves me)
All together say
God loves you (God loves you)
God loves me (God loves me)
God loves you (God loves you)
God loves me (God loves me)
(We had a dream)
Come talk to me, it's time for you talk to me
No more walking away (We had a dream)
I have a dream and you can't take it away (We had a dream)
Come walk with me, just around the block with me
A mile is all it takes (We had a dream)
Still have a dream that I can make it in the USA
