I Can Go On & On

The Best Of Fourplay

Higher Ground (feat. Take 6)

This track from the upcoming Vintage Babies album by Maimouna Youssef and Dj Dummy is a tribute to Sandra Bland and many other women whose voices dare to be heard and whose stories haunt us all until we remember their names.
lyrics
If I should Die, Tomorrow at the hands of the police man, 
And the paper say 
we're going to call it a suicide, would you even question why? 
would you shake your head, and say the ain't right, 
Or do your best to forget about it, 
Please, Please, Please don't forget about me 

Ohhhh, Say my name 
Say my name 
Say My Name 
Say my name 
Don't forget my name 


If I should Die tomorrow 
AT the hands of the police Man 
And the paper say, we're going to call it a suicide 
would you even question why? 
Would you believe in my innocence? 
would you even come to my defense? 
Would you believe in the good Ive done? 
Or will my name be smeared and my story unsung? 
Will you search for the answers or take what they hand us, Who's going to stand with me 
Please Please Please Don't forget about me 

Ohhhh, Say my name 
Say my name 
Say My Name 
Say my name 
Don't forget my name 

Rap: 
Even the sun goes down 
heroes eventually die 
shot with their hands in the sky 
your favorite revolutionaries give up and comply 
for a house on the hills, white wife, couple mills 
I'm last of Mohicans I guess 
Fighting for a cause they say is lost but I can't let it rest 
Rebellion in the mammrys of my mama's breasts 
And I drank til I was drunk, like I was lean off that Crunk. 
We living every word that we rapping about 
And the struggle it gets hard but we ain't backing out 
Nothing is impossible 
The word alone says Im Possible 
So I'm the race horse that I'm riding for 
The audacity of hope 
to believe we can succeed when everybody says nope 
Well F ya'll 
Im different, Descendent of the fittest 
reincarnated just so I can handle business 
My Name, You know my name, So say my name, Say My name
