"My Path" lyrics

I just wanna talk about
Just a little bit
Just for a while

We will win this race, I still believe we can
Oh, don't be misled, I won't let no one destroy my path

I stood around in hot, cold blood
Living in fear for everyone I love
Segregation is all I can see
There's no fine line, they're staring all through me

Yes, I'll embrace these changes face to face
North and south, I won't let no one destroy my
I'll take this road by my self if I have to
No, I have friends, I won't let no one destroy my path

The heroes I've read about wouldn't take a life like a plug
Look in my eyes, you'll see the flow of love
What do y'all hear? Does anyone hear me?
Should I write a letter or talk to a mayor, become a politician, provide a speech?

Choices I make [?] be my own
Oh, this feels so wrong, but I won't let no one destroy my
I've been down some weird streets sometimes
But I know that I won't let no one destroy my, I won't let no one

We gotta get better, don't need a change of weather
The world needs a change, it can't stay this way forever
We gotta get better, don't need a change of weather
The world needs a change, it can't stay this way forever
We gotta get clever, more clever than ever
The world needs a change, it can't stay this way forever
