Funfact:
Lyrically, this song was inspired by the experience of being in an inter-racial romantic relationship and the various interesting ways people treat a bi-racial couple.
lyrics
Haters to my left and right
Opinionated they don't live my life
Restless in their aggravation
Need to just be liberated
Momma go, grab your gun
Win the lotto, get a lump sum
Say a Hail Mary for me
What you get is you see
Blindly marching to the beat of his words
A penny lost is a lesson learned
Why do you seem so concerned?
You've got a lot to answer for
Judgements only turn to war
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
But you can see what I believe
Gentle is the one that wears their heart on their sleeve
The people don't believe
Because they're choosing to deceive
Opinions come in many forms
Why do you insist on yours?
Tear the shackles off you mind
Love is true, it isn't blind
Redemption is the song I sing
Redemption is what freedom rings
Interaction feeds my soul
what they took, they never know
Caught up in a race for life
We don't need to sacrifice
What are we fighting for?
The truth don't live here
We're all one
We're all one
You've got to give a little to get a little
Separate but not separated... One
We've only just begun, just begun
Preach until the revolution
'Til we reach the same conclusion.... One
