Us lyrics
by Yussef Dayes
[Verse I: Jay Prince]
Know we gotta keep on going with the motion (Motion)
Things get tough in the life that we livin'
See, I could never sit around worried 'bout the next man
I been working all [?], haven't had a rest now
Just know that
[Refrain: Jay Prince]
All we ever had was us
How can we just give it up?
No way
[Verse II: Jay Prince]
Know I been livin' in a place where they profile (Profile)
A black man making money on the road now
If you didn't know, now you really gotta know now
Ah, when you hear me sing you know I sing from the soul now
And lemme hear you say
[Refrain: Jay Prince]
All we ever had was us
How can we just give it up?
No way
[Verse III: Jay Prince]
Like the waves in the ocean
We gotta keep things floatin'
Tell somebody you love them
Cause we don't know when they'll go away
Just know that
[Refrain: Jay Prince]
All we ever had was us (Ah, ah)
How can we just give it up? (Ah, ah)
No way (Ah)
[Verse IV: Jay Prince]
Know I been tryna get close with the Lord
Killers and the sinners and the villains, it's a [?]
They don't wanna open doors, I gotta make a change
Take a trip to the Motherland and understand more
And open up my heart just to understand love
I wanna see my brothers and my sisters live it up
Oh, Lord
Woke up in the morning and I'm really real good
[Refrain: Jay Prince]
All we ever had was us
How can we just give it up?
