josiah williams - together we work lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah
ladies & gentleman
my name is josiah williams
i came to praise god
and we gon’ let it ride

[verse 1]
they tell me to live a life
for the person that follows
so their world can shine
like a night at the apollo
love is the method, all four letters
i treat you no less, and i am no better
doesn’t matter
mainstage, or a cl-ssroom special
i’ll promote change at the gr-ssroot level
if one of us starts, then others will take notice
cause now we see the world
with a brand new focus

i have seen a nation, complacent
for many generations
where hatred is worn every day like a bracelet
same situations, anger displacement
i believe in tryna re-work the foundation
not just equality, i’m looking for equity
not just a want, this is more of a necessity
self less, self last, y’all first
no time to put this thing in reverse

[hook]
together we work (x2)
so even when we go through the worst
together we work (x2)
self less, self last, y’all first
together we work (x2)

[verse 2]
i can’t just ‘want’ change
i’ve gotta make that
take a stand for the people that are way back
i’ll break walls
so the two of us can break bread
and i’ll make sure we both get a placemat
they say love is the answer
but not if we don’t mean it
your side and mine, and everyone in between it
if the goal is to move forward
how do we succeed
if everybody’s waiting
for somebody else to lead

we talk about unity, but why aren’t we unified
why do we play safe, and stay on the other side
how do i learn, if i ain’t willing to hear
or if i tell you that your problems
aren’t really severe

i’ve gotta see the picture we all paint
pray to the most high
we’re in his good hands, like allstate
in life, there are problems we all face
that’s why i’m choosing to make a big impact
in a small place

[hook]

[verse 3]
i believe a change is a-coming
i ride down the river sam cooke was once running
i see the way that people walk together like cousins
to show a side of love a lot of the world doesn’t

i believe a change is ahead of us
don’t allow anybody to discredit us
shine a bright light on all sides of the earth
self less, self last, y’all first
together we work

[hook]

[outro]
i can’t do it on my own
i can’t do this all alone
self less, self last, y’all first
together we work
