about

A tribute to American civil rights activist Fannie Lou Hamer.

lyrics

[Fannie Lou Hamer] I want you to know what's happening to us today
[Malcolm X] I don't see any American dream I see an American nightmare
[FLH] but we gonna change that baby.

We want a change
We want a change throughout the country
We want a change
We want a change, change - I'm talkin about some real change
and people whether you believe it or not...

I want you to know what's happening to us today
[Malcolm X] I don't see any American dream I see an American nightmare
[FLH] but we gonna change that baby.

We want a change
We want a change throughout the country
We want a change
We are sick and tired of seeing people shot down in the name of law and order all across the country

I want you to know what's happening to us today
[Malcolm X] I don't see any American dream I see an American nightmare

[FLH] If I hate you because you hate me I'm no better than you are - and I don't hate a person because they hate me.
I'll try to free that person too.
I don't see all people as bad... and I don't hate a person because they hate me.

We are a part of America, but we do want to be treated as human beings
and I'm fighting for human rights, not for equal rights.

We want a change
We want a change throughout the country
We want a change
We want a change, change,
and people whether you believe it or not...
A house divided against itself cannot stand
A nation that's divided against itself cannot stand
and its two past midnight and we on our way out.

[Malcolm X] I don't see any American dream I see an American nightmare
[FLH] but we gonna change that baby.
