Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]Right about now son,
where the rock going from Brooklyn town
Hard to call an original
each and every time
From Genesis 1 back home
to Revelation 22
That's what we for do,
[Cm]hit em w[G]ith style Pers[Cm]ia!
[G]Yesterday I walked into my yard
Looked and prayed unto my God
My simple life seemed so hard
What was young and strong
was now old and scuffed
Before the gunshots passed me by
Before I knew the reasons [Cm]why
[G]Before I would refuse to cry[Cm]
[G]But now the tears fall from [Cm]my eyes
[G]Before my friends began to die[C][Cm]
[G]There was a time I could not lie
[Cm]But [G]now if I refuse to try[Cm][G]
I abandoned re[Cm]demption
[G]And as I felt the sun out[Cm]side
[G]It seems my God turned and replied
[C]All [G]of these scars created pride
What was sinful once, now is for me I knew
[Cm]Be f[G]ore I knew I was a[Cm]lone
[G]Before I searched to find my [Cm]home
[G]Before the greatest thing I'm [Cm]sure[G]
[Cm][G][Cm][G][Cm][G][Cm][G]
[Cm]
[G]Don't forget to remember
Dr. Israel in[Cm]side of Roots Rhythm
We've got [G]to take it international
each and every time
[Cm]We rock from Berlin back
down [G]to Brooklyn
over to Brixton [Cm]town
Them that [G]test his soul
will be sorry like [Cm]Judas
[G]Last night I listened to my [Cm]friend
[G]Seemed he wanted his strife to end
[Cm]An d[G] a new life to begin
What [Cm]was s[G]imple [Cm]once
[G]was no more for him[C]
[Cm]Before[G] his life had passed him by[Cm]
[G]For he knew no reasons [Cm]why
[G]But as he told me of his [Cm]strife
[G]I watched the tears fall from his eyes
Before his friends began to die
[Cm]Ther[G]e was a time when he still tried
[Cm]But [G]if he fails then he'll i[Cm]mply
[G]He abandoned redemp[Cm]tion
[G]So as the sun came up out[Cm]side
[G]I touched his hand and I replied
[Cm]As s[G]ure as we remain alive
[Cm]What was [G]painful once
now is far behind
[Cm]Befo[G]re he once
was hunted down
Before he trembled at the sound
[C]But [G]because we're
still [Cm]around[G]
We move through this to[C]gether[G][Cm][G]
We move through this to[Cm]gether
We're [G]we're more true
We're than true, [C]we're more
[G]Dr. Israel in original roots version
[Cm]From old to creation
[G]And inside of Brooklyn to [G]New York
Positive version each and every time
So when you're white or
when you're black
[G]You can [Cm]still feel that
