Made Us Better

When death comes for me

I pray my seeds will live on my story

On my story

On my story

Hometown glory

When death come for me

I pray my seeds will live on my story

On my story

On my story

Look I fear no hold

And I release my worry

And every weight I feel will lift right off me

You can take these chains

Yeah you can take these names

And you can leave me bare

You can take that fame

When my spirit flames

And when it's just my time

When the glory fades

And when I shut my eyes

I won't take no names

I won't take no names

I won't take no names

I won't take no names

And ooh the scene before the fall

(I won't take no names, I won't take no names)

(I won't take no names yeah)

And ooh we thought we lost it all

And ooh the scene before the fall

(I won't take no names, I won't take no names)

(I won't take no names yeah)

And ooh we thought we lost it all

Said we made it through the fire, yeah

I know

Yes it made us better

We made it through the fire

Yes it made us better, yes it made us better

Said we made it through the fire, yeah

I know

Yes it made us better

I said we made it through the fire

And I know

Yes it made us better

Malcolm X on the best list if you ain't free

Please don't let my chains hold all of this weight on me

We said we made it through the fire

And the healing, and the freedom

I hope you see the many miles that we've done

Remember when we released the spirit of the ego and just let go

The many mountains climbed I heard the echo

I thought I'd never make it through the pain

And the surface smiled in vain

Remember when we never thought we'd never get through

And we worried about peace yeah

My seeds say peace my religion

And we still want freedom and we still aren't free

My sould know I made it through the fire

I thought I'd never heal and climb it higher

And I'll break through freely

And I'll break through

And ooh the scene before the fall

And ooh we thought we lost it all

And ooh the scene before the fall

And ooh we thought we lost it all

Please don't take this weight on your shoulders

Please don't take this weight on your shoulders

Please don't take this weight on your shoulders

Please don't take this weight on your shoulders
