Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No, you won't be naming no buildings after me
To go down dilapidated
No, you won't be naming no buildings after me
My name will be misstated, surely
[Verse 2]
This world done changed so much, yeah, yeah
This world done changed since I've been conscious
This world done changed so much, yeah, yeah
This world done changed since I've been conscious
[Verse 3]
Oh, what in the world will we do?
Will we ever make it, yeah?
And oh, no, it ain't right
Oh, is it in Your plan? (I want to understand)
[Verse 4]
Say, you won't be naming no buildings after me
To go down dilapidated, no
No, you won't be naming no buildings after me
My name will be misstated, surely
Surely, yeah, surely, surely, yeah
Surely, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 5]
No, you won't be naming no buildings after me
To go down dilapidated, no
Oh, you won't be naming no buildings after me
My name will be misstated, surely
Surely, yeah, yeah
