“The Movement” Lyrics by Bo Latham and Ken Lampley -Hook x2- This is ‘The Movement’, this is the music Let’s just put our mind to it, we can do this Let’s all come together, let’s get through this Come one and march with me, this is ‘The Movement’ -Bo- This is the movement for the struggle of brothers Face in the gutter, beat down, just because they an illusion of color And I stand for everyone, you either love it or hate Fight for rights, but get nothing, just incarcerated Sprayed down, face down, it’s the way that it was We done made it current day, the only way is because We stood by civil activist cause no one believed them Put they life on the line, just for the dream of freedom -Ken- Its for the struggle, for the times, for the right to be free Its for the blacks and the whites, and every soul in between It’s a blast from the past, for the fights that we had To tell the word to come together, stop living in the past You can take my soul, and use it as a lesson to be learned From times back in the day when my people were bruned Stop living in this pain and misery left from my history It’s still unsolved to this day just like a mystery -Hook x2- This is ‘The Movement’, this is the music Let’s just put our mind to it, we can do this Let’s all come together, let’s get through this Come one and march with me, this is ‘The Movement’ -Bo- Now who would have that us two could be cool The times have changed Dr. King, your dreams have come true Accepted at all schools, we eat at the same place Walk freely down the street with no division of race Now I can chill with K-Real with no thought or hesitation Came through the hard times and defeated segregation Now the future is upon us, we look past the past We can finally say that we ‘Free At Last’ -Ken- It took Emmett Till to be killed for the world to see That blacks and whites fighting wasn’t how its ‘spose to be Now I would kinda assume, you know supposedly That we could all live in peace but they looked over me Time after Time, the southern states have been in a bind People asking in the south why the sun don’t shine I just, look to the sky and ask the lord for answers Cause we, stuck in a world that’s full of Klans and Panthers -Hook x2- This is ‘The Movement’, this is the music Let’s just put our mind to it, we can do this Let’s all come together, let’s get through this Come one and march with me, this is ‘The Movement’ -Ken and Bo In Unison- This is the movement for everyone, no matter the color Can we look past the past and love one another Our ancestors went through it, now they sleeping in hearses We couldn’t sit back and watch as our community worsens It’s the content of your heart, not the color of your skin We fought this battle already, so let’s not do it again See at first I was blind, but now I’m seeing the facts Cant we come together as one, and leave it at that???
