Starting today, let's take this vow
We gotta change things right here and now
Can't let our love fall to the ground
I promise to never let you down, no
Every night I pray
Wishing tomorrow's a better day
It's gotta be for us, there's no denying
I'd rather fight or die trying
It's gotta be for love, there's no time for games
Let's get to loving, time will ease the pain
Gotta be for us, yeah
Remember you said we deserve to be free (we deserve to be free), yeah
And if things don't get better then we
Should just leave (we should just leave), yeah
Truth is without us life ain't complete, yeah
Baby let's build together unselfishly
Every night I pray
Wishing tomorrow's a better day
It's gotta be for us, there's no denying
I'd rather fight or die trying
It's gotta be for love, there's no time for games
Let's get to loving (loving), time will ease the pain (yeah)
It's gotta be for us
Country boy of law think like king
Front line to war, hold this gun
Big momma told me how to shoot, don't run
Hot sauce, coleslaw, murder was the cold case
Justice for my people is all I see
Gotta be in love is all I teach
Keep living on the fees, I have to live on my feet
It's gotta be for us, there's no denying
I'd rather fight or die trying
It's gotta be for love (yeah-yeah)
There's no time for games (no time for games)
Let's get to loving (loving)
Time (loving) will ease the pain (loving)
It's gotta be for us (oh)
Look in my eyes (look in my eyes) it's gotta be for us
Do you believe, baby? Gotta be for us
Baby, they lied for us (yeah) gotta be for us
Gotta be for us
You gotta believe it, yeah, ooh-ooh
