Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Unity, there can be no unity until we have
first proven acceptable [F]to ourselves.
We cannot think of being
acceptable to others.
I was [Am]told from my [Dm]mama that I
[Am]won't find [F]peace un[Am]less me.
If there [Dm]ain't even peace in my [C]own land
If you [F]don't feel the [Am]urgency
Cause we [Dm]ain't got no [Esus4]time to sink
[Am]We are o[Dm]ne from the su[Am]n
Because we [Dm]are one,
[Edim]brother we [Am]are one
United [F]we stand, divided we fall
Sure [Am]at least once tears had to fall
out [Dm]the eyes of us all
Strive to be more than [Am]we are
in [C]the eyes of the
Lord
[F]I try but I pray that you hel[Am]p us,
Misery loves company and it's over
[Dm]staying it's welcome
I try to tell him,
[C]but he don't want us getting along
[F]Warned over loved ones from [Dm]a grudge,
now they [Am]gone
Strong beliefs, mine and yours,
even [Dm]opinions are wrong
Been alone apo[Em]cryphally,
why it take long to get [F]on, I need help
I was [Am]told from my [Dm]mama
that I [Am]want my [F]dreams
[Am]there [Dm]ain't even peace in my [C]own land
If you [F]don't feel the [Am]urgency
Cause we [Dm]ain't got the [Esus4]time to sing
We are [Dm]one from the [Am]sun
Because we [Dm]are one,
[Edim]brother we [Am]are one
Go through [F]in sanity but can
it be our family struc[Am]ture
Is the base while our race and
[Dm]hu manity suffers
Vice versa, [Am]mother and fathers
[E]abandon each other?
[F]Think.
The kids don't control they [Am]fate.
Parents don't feel like being
[Dm]born's a mistake.
Tell them that you gon' [C]be there when
you know that you ain't.
Neither [F]when you get there,
you wind [Dm]up showing up [Am]late.
You're not a parent giving money
to re[Dm]place your upbringing.
A check with an empty [Esus4]space,
now you're [E]becoming a [Am]blank.
[F]Think.[Am][Dm][Em][Am][C]
[Am]There can be no u -u -u -u -u -u -unity [F]u -u -u -u -u until we
have [C]first proven acceptable to ourselves.
We cannot think of being ac[Am]ceptable
to [Dm]ourselves.[C]
Peace, rally, riot, [F]marches, [Dm]demonstrations for [Am]war,
communities, street rules, and [Dm]the
of law, information filled [E]gaps from gener[Am]ations before,
[Em]I ho[F]pe, but we immediately find [Am]ways
to break treaties we signed [Dm]that legally bind
the lands [F]that the seas [Am]divide where people
reside, an[F]d I look at the miracles that
God has [Am]done,
what do I answer when I'm asked
where
God [Dm]got it from,
we all want to be number [Am]one so [Dm]we nod as [F]one, I hope.
I was [Am]told from my [Dm]momma that I
[Am]won't find [F]peace in [Am]this man
If [Dm]there ain't even peace in my [C]own land
If you [F]don't feel the [Am]urgency
Cause we [Dm]ain't got the
[Esus4]time you see
[Am]We are o[Dm]ne from the su[Am]n
Because we [Dm]are one,
[C]brother we [Am]are o[C]ne
[Am]There can be no u -u -u -u -u -unity u -u -u -until we
have first proven [C]ac ceptable to ourselves
We cannot think of being ac[Am]ceptable
