We take care of each other, because each other is all we’ve got
Our skin color will always be the factor, but we shouldn’t try to change who we are
Love that black brother, love that black sister, because that’s all we’ve got, each other

We lost the privileges we had, our dignity, an opportunity to love and embrace who we are, when they stopped on the shorelines with mirrors telling us they worth more than the cows we had

We lost our privileges, an opportunity to be who we are when we let them own our land believing they know better, they’ll show us how to make good use of it
We lost our powers when we let them instil in our minds that white is the best color
We have to bow down to it, when they led us to believe they were superheroes
We lost our way when we agreed to close our eyes, when they showed us the Bible
We can’t find it still because they’re still closed, especially when we hear Hallelujah even when it comes from notorious crooks
But as long as we have each other, we have everything

They paint us with every brush to diminish our status, to lower our value and self-esteem
Our self-beliefs and traditions, but they go behind us to do the very same thing they regard as evil
Let’s open our eyes, starting with loving each other, because each other is all we’ve got
We will never be good enough to them, but why do we even try
Because we are good enough for each other, which is all that we’ve got, “each other”

“It’s all about one day at a time, one day at a time”
