Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here, we are here
[Verse 2]
Bombs over Baghdad
Tryin' to get somethin' we ain't never had
Let's start with a good dad
So real, but it's so sad
And while we burnin' this incense
We gon' pray for the innocent
'Cause right now, it don't make sense
Right now, it don't make sense
[Verse 3]
Let's talk about Chi-town
Let's talk about Gaza
Let's talk about, let's talk about Israel
'Cause right now it is real
Let's talk about, let's talk Nigeria
And the mass hysteria, yeah
Our souls are brought together
So that we could love each other, brother
[Verse 4]
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here, we are here
[Verse 5]
No guns made in Harlem
But yet crime is a problem
He wanna shine, they wanna rob him
Single mother, where they come from?
How we gonna save the nation
With no support for education?
'Cause right now it don't make sense
Right now it don't make sense
[Verse 6]
Let's talk about our part
My heart to your heart
Let's talk about, let's talk about livin'
Had enough of dyin'
Not what we all about
Let's do more givin', do more forgivin' yeah
Our souls are brought together
So that we could love each other, sister
[Verse 7]
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
[Verse 8]
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
[Verse 9]
We are here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 10]
We are here (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
That's why we are here, why we are here
[Verse 11]
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
[Verse 12]
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
