Lyrics
We trying to elevate, elevate
We are striving to improve and ascend
They trying to stifle with petty hate
Others are attempting to hinder us with trivial animosity
She say when they go low we go high
Quoting the idea of rising above negativity when faced with challenges
They win the limbo but that's alright
They may succeed in a contest (limbo), but that's acceptable
We all just want a shot at shining bright and
We all desire an opportunity to shine brightly
We all want everything to be alright
We collectively wish for everything to be okay
Pray to God it doesn't get worse
Expressing hope that the situation doesn't deteriorate
We just need some answers
We are seeking solutions or explanations
One thing is sure
Certainty in the midst of uncertainty
Something's got to give yeah, oh
Emphasizing a need for change or resolution
Something's got to give yeah, oh
Reiteration of the need for change or resolution
I can love me without hating you
Expressing self-love without harboring hatred towards others
Just try'na say that I matter too
Asserting the importance of one's own value
You matter sure, but the world know that
Acknowledging the significance of others
Nobody ever denied you that
Highlighting that no one denies their importance
We all just want a shot at shining bright and
Reiteration of the desire for opportunities to shine
We all want everything to be alright
Collective wish for everything to be okay
Pray to God it doesn't get worse
Hope that the situation doesn't worsen
We just need some answers
Seeking answers or solutions
One thing is sure
Emphasizing certainty amidst uncertainty
Something's got to give yeah, oh
Reiteration of the need for change or resolution
Something's got to give yeah, oh
-Something's got to give yeah, oh
-Something's got to give yeah, oh
-(The people, the people, the...)
Reference to the people
The people, they're being deported
Highlighting the deportation of people
The people they're being detained
Noting the detention of people
The truth it is being distorted
Stating that the truth is being distorted
The lies they are being ingrained
Indicating that lies are being ingrained
Pray to God it doesn't get worse
Hope that the situation doesn't worsen
We just need some answers
Seeking answers or solutions
One thing's for sure
Emphasizing certainty amidst uncertainty
Something's got to give yeah, oh
Reiteration of the need for change or resolution
Something's got to give yeah, oh
-Can we get some answers
Expressing the need for answers
We just need some answers
Reiterating the need for answers
Maybe love is the answer
Suggesting that love might be the solution
Maybe love is the answer
Reiterating the idea that love could be the answer
Pray to God that it don't get worse
Hopeful that the situation won't worsen with a plea to God
Maybe it could get better first
Suggesting that improvement might precede further deterioration
With love, with love
Emphasizing the potential positive impact of love
