Together We Work

Lyrics

[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 classroom special I'll promote change at the grassroot 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
