Look How Far We've Come Songtext
von Soul Scratch

It was cold in the morning
When that dust settled down
Mama′s tears start flowing
Her baby boy's dead on that ground
A man looked her in the eye
Said "Nothing I can do"
Well, he was just doing his job
What he was trained to do

And look how far we′ve come
Still got a long way to go
We gotta stick together now
And keep that change pushing up, uh-huh


On the streets of New York City
Man cried out that he can't breathe
But ain't no one seem to pay him no mind
Just another life lost to the beat
It′s time to wake ourselves up now
′Cause this ain't no bad dream
I feel our people need to cry out
But we′ve forgotten how to scream

Look how far we've come
Still got a long way to go
We gotta stick together now
And keep that change pushing up, uh-huh

Gotta raise ourselves up
Oh, standing hand in hand
Ain′t nothing gonna change until you make it, baby
Don't get mad, love
I said where has all the love gone?
Nothing gonna change ′til you make it
