Louis York - I Wonder

I wonder if Martin was alive now
Would he be proud
I wonder if Malcolm was alive now
Would he be proud
Would he be

These are the things 
That keep me up at night
These are the things
Oh these are the things
These are the things 
That keep me up at night
These are the things
Oh Oooh...

I wonder if Martin was alive now
Would he be proud
I wonder if Malcolm was alive now
Would he be proud
Would he be

These are the things that keep me up at night
These are the things
Oh these are the things
These are the things 
That keep me up at night
These are the things
These are the things 
That keep me up at night
These are the things
These are the things
These are the things 
That keep me up at night
These are the things

After the water's been waded
and the dogs been shook
and we still gotta reckon
the cost this took? 

We've got to inherit this earth we built

Our blues, this it's velvet, Electric
It glows
A new song
I feel it all in it
It's love
It's music
It's weed
It's a takeover truth 

We lived what the work was
We felt the past fall short
We seen leaders struck down 
We know what a word's worth

This griot vocation?
It's changing the frame

How we look to the future
Claim the past without shame

Hear Martin say
Look
Hear Malcolm say
Now 

We built ones who see us who lift us and yes

We lighter, freer, grateful

And we ain't finna rest
