MM-HM Bando7... (Ba-ba-Bando on the beat bro) Who do I blame for all this pain? Who do I blame for all this rain? Life get cold when you ain't got nobody to hold, But I'm still walking it wid you, staying on road. Yeaaah-aahh, I'm right here wid you, Yeaaah-aahh, we'll see it through, Don't nobody get us like we get we, Yeaaah-aahh, that's unity. Had so much pain I had to bury inside, But that shit still alive, it's coming back for the ride, The world done judged me, tried to break my will, But for the ones who understand, I won't ever be still. Yeaaah-aahh, I'm right here wid you, Yeaaah-aahh, we'll see it through, Don't nobody get us like we get we, Yeaaah-aahh, that's unity. Generation curses, chains we inherit, But we rise up, yeah, we gonna bear it, Mind-state misery can't hold we down, Jah bless the broken, turn it around. Yeaaah-aahh, walking it wid you, Yeaaah-aahh, that's what we do, I'm still going, still going strong, Yeaaah-aahh, where you belong. Yeah-aah, I'm still here with you Through the storm and the pain, we push through Life gets cold when nobody understands But I'm holding your hand, taking a stand (BAND-BAND-BANDO) Who do I blame for the burden and the weight? Generations of sorrow locked in fate But I break the chain, I speak the truth Show the youth there's another way through Mama worked doubles, her hands split and raw Daddy swallowed the anger, never spoke what he saw But I'm writing it down, I'm singing it out So the silence don't swallow the next generation's mouth Three jobs, no health insurance, no backup plan Eviction notice taped to the window, red stamp They told us to pray, we prayed anyway Woke up to the locks changed, belongings in gray But I'm still standing, still reaching back For the ones in the trenches, still on the track Yeah-aah, don't walk alone I'm right here, you're never on your own For the ones going through it, I see your fight We're walking together in the dark toward light Every scar tells a story, every scar tells the truth I'm the proof that you're stronger than what tried to break you The outside never sees what's within But we know the strength of our skin No designer can cover what's real Only love can truly heal I remember the 6am darkness, the coffee gone cold Your voice on the phone saying "hold on, just hold" We didn't have language for what we survived But we showed up anyway, kept each other alive That's the revolution they don't put on the news— Two people deciding they're not gonna lose Yeah-aah, I'm still with you Yeah-aah, we gon' make it through Walking it together, that's the way Yeah-aah, every single day Been right here with you, through the storm and rain Walking the same road, feeling the same pain Don't nobody understand what we going through But I see you, I see you, I'm still with you Yeaaah-aahh, we still going strong Yeaaah-aahh, where we belong For all the ones struggling, hold your head high I'm walking it with you, we ain't saying goodbye Yeaaah-aahh, we breaking the silence Yeaaah-aahh, yeaaah-aahh Life get cold when you standing alone But together we find our way back home The pain that they buried deep in their soul We breaking those chains, we taking control Tired of the judgment from people who never walked this way But for the ones who understand, I'm here to stay Yeaaah-aahh, we still going strong Yeaaah-aahh, where we belong For all the ones struggling, hold your head high I'm walking it with you, we ain't saying goodbye Yeaaah-aahh, we breaking the silence Yeaaah-aahh, yeaaah-aahh They don't see the scars we carry in our bones The way we learned to make a stranger's house a home Trading coins in the pocket for a meal that last Building something new from everything we passed Your footsteps steady when mine start to slip Your hand steady reaching when I lose my grip This ain't about glory or a spotlight's glow It's about knowing somebody, letting somebody know Generation to generation, breaking the curse Speaking our truth, telling our version first The outside don't see what we see inside But Jah know we're strong, we're walking with pride Hand in hand through the valley, shoulder to shoulder on the climb We ain't waiting for permission, we ain't running out of time Yeaaah-aahh, we still going strong Yeaaah-aahh, where we belong For all the ones struggling, hold your head high I'm walking it with you, we ain't saying goodbye Yeaaah-aahh, we breaking the silence Yeaaah-aahh,(Bando'oOo7) Through the breaking points, I'm with u Don't nobody get us like we get we But I see you, I see you clearly Yeaaah-aahh, stay strong You ain't walking this road all alone I'm here, I'm here, I ain't going nowhere Yeaaah-aahh, I'm still here Through the silence, through the storm I'm still here, keeping you warm Your hand in mine, that's the only truth I need Your strength become the oxygen I breathe No more chains, no more lies We rise up, we rise The way you move, the way you stand Your story written in your hands (BANDO BE THE LOGO)
