My people, we can do better/
No more lyin no more cryin, let's do more than just settle,
We come and we go/
We don't try and we just don't know/
That if we look at each other, we're merely birds of a feather/

Sometimes I wanna go somewhere, and figure it out/

Sometimes I wanna go somewhere, and figure it out/

Everyday we peak out the window, another life is taken as the wind blows/
And the news is so depressing now but it shows the way of this world to me/

All the other different shades of people that control this cold world

Hook
Sometimes I wanna go somewhere, and figure it out/
Sometimes I wanna go somewhere, and figure it out/
Sometimes I wanna go somewhere, and figure it out/
Sometimes I wanna go somewhere, and figure it out/

Oh oh oh oh oooh ohhhh (2X)
