Shemekia Copeland & Kenny Wayne Shepherd Lyrics

"Hit 'Em Back"
(feat. Robert Randolph & Tony Coleman)

One, two, three

Everyone's fighting, they've taken sides
You just wanna run and hide
They push your buttons, get under your skin
'Til it seems nobody can win
Don't worry 'bout it, ain't nothing new
To change minds, here's what we do

Hit 'em back, back, back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em back, back, back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em right back with love
Let 'em scream (let 'em scream)
Push and shove (push and shove)
Hit 'em right back with love

From different places, worlds apart
Blues brought us together right from the start
Don't matter where you're born, where you been
Shade of your eyes, or the color of your skin
We'll join together, love like no other
I'll be your sister if you'll be my brother

Hit 'em back, back, back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em back, back, back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em right back with love
Let 'em scream (let 'em scream)
Push and shove (push and shove)
Hit 'em right back with love

Some gonna say you're weak
By turning the other cheek
We can solve any problems we got
If we all give love a shot

Liars gonna lie, haters gonna hate
We gotta love each other 'fore it's too late
So let 'em try to stir things up
We'll have another drink from the loving cup
And if we fall eventually
I forgive you if you forgive me

Hit 'em back, back, back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em back, back, back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em right back with love
Let 'em scream (let 'em scream)
Push and shove (push and shove)
Hit 'em right back with love

Hit 'em back, back, back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em back, back, back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em right back with love
Let 'em scream (let 'em scream)
Push and shove (push and shove)
Hit 'em right back with love

Hit 'em back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em right back with love
Hit 'em back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em back (hit 'em back)
Hit 'em right back with love
Hit 'em right back with love
Hit 'em right back with love
