Lyrics

YOU GOTTA KNOW INTRO: CHORUS: You gotta know things in life aren’t always what it’ seems. You gotta know not everyone you meet will treat you mean. You gotta know how to do the right thing. That freedom song everyone will start to sing. You gotta know things in life aren’t always what it’ seems. You gotta know not everyone you meet will treat you mean. Sometime in life you’ll meet someone who is good. Who’ll treat you just the way that a brother should VERSE1: What is it like to be white? What is it like living that kind of life? Living without a knife threatening your back, Only because you know you’re not black. Why does the color of a face, Have to mean you’re from a different race? Are you different how? Please tell me now. Do you have a heart, two arms and feet? God gave us legs so we can walk and meet. A brain to understand looks are only skin deep It isn’t fair how a color can scare. It isn’t fair how we don’t show we care. It isn’t fair it’s so darn mean, That white continues to stay so clean. We’re a lot like one another. So don’t judge me by my color. CHORUS: VERSE2: You gotta know how to treat each other right. Stop all the fussing and give up the fight. Let’s get together and all unite. So we can see that guiding light. That will take us to that place, where we wanna to be. That place where we can set our spirit free From all the anger and all of the pain That we thought were gonna drive us insane. Apart from color we’re all the same. Have the ability to play the same game. Do you have a mother and a dad? Do you cry when you get sad? When you get cut is your blood red? Do you have a funeral when someone is dead? We’re a lot like one another. So don’t judge me by my color. CHORUS VERSE3: Why can’t we just get along? Why can’t we just live as one? Can somebody tell me why? Why so many got to die? Why do we go day by, day Without anything good to say! Doesn’t matter to which God we prey, We all need someone to show us the way. We’re not different from each other, Because we don’t have the same mother, Because we don’t have the same father, We’re a brother. We’re a sister. Don’t rush through life you have to take it slow. Gonna say it again so you would know. Don’t listen to what the guy say below, Having a good heart is the best way to go. CHORUS: x2
