Marvin used to say


Police killing my brothers in the street
No justice no peace

He said the world is changing
He thought the better
Wondering God left us hanging
Feels like he ain't been parading no shelter
For this lonely weather we been facing
(Oh what's going on)
But still he got an answer
It's Marvin after a long time ago
Oh, what's going one
Now I wanna know

Who de we run to?
And who do we call on?
What's the use of still saying prayers
If that fears, they follow
(We want to believe)
We wanna believe there's a better place
When it's all said and done
The key is to keep the faith
For our raising march
Raise me up a song

What's going on, oh oh
(Oh, what's going on?)
I remember
Marvin used to say
Somebody tell me
(Oh, what's going on?)
I gotta know
Marvin used to say, Marvin used to say
(Oh, what's going on?)
Tell me, tell me
(Oh, what's going on?)
What's going on? What's going on?

Seems like from birth I was cursed
With a guilty complexion
Can't even walk the street in peace
Without the fear of been arrested
Now the community is divided
We dying 5.000 from the virus
Cities in shamble, riot
Like Marvin used to say
What's going on? What's going on?

Who de we run to?
And who do we call on?
What's the use of still saying prayers
If that fears, they follow
(We want to believe)
We wanna believe there's a better place
When it's all said and done
The key is to keep the faith
For our raising march
Raise me up a song

What's going on, oh oh
(Oh, what's going on?)
Marvin used to say
Somebody tell me
(Oh, what's going on?)
I got, I gotta know, oh
Mama played the song as a young boy
(Oh, what's going on?)
Marvin used to say
Tell me, tell me
What's going on?
(Oh, what's going on?)
What's going on? What's going on?

Marvin used to also say
Save the children, save the babies
So a message to the youth
The future lies in your hands
To the fight of injustice is one
We are one

To Tamika Mallory and Rashad Robinson
Keep pushing on (Keep pushing on)
To Marty Williams, Alicia Garza, Apple Timothy
We are not alone
Angela Rie (My sister), Patrice Collars, my brother Misa (My brother)
Keep fighting, oh ooh oh
Keep marching on (Marching on)
Brother Benet, keep teaching on

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
