Come Together - Black Thought, Zion

I was, uh, too young to care when my father died

I had to put one in the air when my mama died

Both victims of completely different homicides

It makes me wonder sometimes, damn, how I’ma die

I can’t shake these memories, I’m haunted by

If it bring a tear to your eye then I apologize

When every child is born another shot is fired

How many hours is left before the clock expire?

I’m bothered by it, and placing the bricks instead of sound

Wondering how to move a nation of millions

Because they ain’t felt the bass in a minute

Every minute hip hop is ever so patiently waiting to get it

Take a look into the sky and see 'em scraping the buildings

Or look into the mirror, see the face of resilience

My heart and frustrations is in it, when I spit it it’s vintage

So molded into my own image, yeah

Come together

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

(Move a nation of millions, it ain’t hard to tell)

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

(Move a nation of millions, it ain’t hard to tell)

One thing, one thing I can tell you is you got to be free

(Move a nation of millions, it ain’t hard to tell)

One thing I can te-te-tell you is you got to be free

(Move a nation of millions)

Come together right now

(Bri-bri-bridging the gap, yeah)

Come together right now

(Bri-bri-bridging the gap, yeah)

Come together right now

(Bri-bri-bridging the gap, yeah)

Come together right now

(Bri-bri-bridging the gap, yeah)

Uh, a sick cycle where we living revolved

Like we’re one step away from forever sleeping tomorrow

Fighting for pieces of hog, my is scarred

Hard to be godbody, niggas body your squad

Go against all laws, turn up the pressure from the neck up

It ain’t all good, the hood really need a checkup

The blood and the veins, it seems it long ago changed

All addicted to riches, fame is a cold game

Dopeboys and rappers, that’s the role models

My soul feel hollow, there is no tomorrow

We need to come together like X and King

'Fore we live another day all vexed in

I got a sixth sense, homie, 'cause I’m blessed with this

Roots crew and Zion I Official messengers

But when the stress it get too much it might bust

Put the pain down, player, get together with us, yeah

Come together right now
