[G]
[Am]
[A] [Am] We
[Dm] [G] [Am] ain't easy, from slavery, 10,000 miles we've made that journey.
Crossings burning and mud lynching and the boycotts of Montgomery.
From the fountains we're now drinking and forever in my memory.
But love and time came natural healing, time to turn this page of history.
[Dm] Cause there's one thing for sure, the poor can't take no more.
They had to open up those doors for President 44.
[Am] Paint it black, paint it black, our paperwhite house black.
Paint the white house black, we're gonna paint it black.
Paint it black, paint it black, our paperwhite house black.
Paint the white house black, we're gonna paint
[G] [Am] it black.
Broken down our racial barriers and the laws of segregation.
Is the healing of the nation, let's rewrite the constitution.
And we're drowning in this crisis and who dares to politicize it.
And our martyrs paid the prices, laid their lives as sacrifices.
[Dm] Cause there's one thing for sure, the poor can't take no more.
They had to open up those doors for President 44.
