Common — A Place in This World

[Verse 1: Common] No justice or justification We trust in God but can't trust in a nation The cusp of generations searching for a ventilation If 2020 vision is any indication Of where we are, where we've been, where do we go? American ain't legible My rights are being left behind In questioned times, they say invest in nines Tryna rest my mind, the press be pressed to find Stories by my kind, a suggested crime Though many, many holler about justicе reform But won't put dollars where thе hustle is born You know our politicians, they like to perform Acting and singing that government song How they love America when you lovin' it wrong We the people are becoming reborn [Chorus: PJ] Get knocked down but stand up I still believe that there's a place in this world For people just like you People all around the world (Stand up) I still believe that there's a place in this world A place for me and you Get knocked down but stand up (Up) I still believe that there's a place in this world For people just like you People all around the world (Stand up) I still believe that there's a place in this world A place for me and you [Verse 2: Common] Elastic winner in America It's more content than there is character Truth is we starring at a derringer Old ways is the barrel that's daring us We bear the cross and cross rivers Of stolen souls and lost figures told by Doc Rivers Movement of the people, we take God with us And we recreate equal that will outlive us Delivered to this world with authority Never thought of myself as a minority Cordial invites to far left and alt-rights I'm from the Bob Marley party, everything will be alright You say, "All life matters" But you paying no mind when Black life shatters I know there's light at the end of the struggle Revolution and love is like a couple [Chorus: PJ] Get knocked down but stand up I still believe that there's a place in this world For people just like you People all around the world (Stand up) I still believe that there's a place in this world A place for me and you Get knocked down but stand up (Up) I still believe that there's a place in this world For people just like you People all around the world (Stand up) I still believe that there's a place in this world A place for me and you
