Miguel - Now Lyrics

CEO of the free world now
Build your walls up high and wide
Make it rain to keep them out
That won't change what we are inside

Pick the fruit of your labor
Cultivate, plant your seeds now and watch them grow
Man, I'll holla at you later
Let you find out what you're made of
Just saying

Is that the look of freedom, now?
Is that the sound of freedom, now?
'Cause it's plain to see a man's integrity
By the way he treats those he does not need
And it's time we talk about it
Let's not waste our common ground
We will fall for standing and watching, all in silence
Dear Lord, are we numb? Where we going right now?

No, not later, no, no, no, not later
Oh, right now, oh, right now
Now, not later, no, not later
No, no, no, not later
This can't wait, now

CEO of the free world now
Should we teach our children hatred?
Chase the inner cities, shoot them down
It's like we're still running races
I'm just saying

Is that the look of freedom, now?
Is that the sound of freedom, now?
'Cause it's plain to see a man's integrity
By the way he treats those when he don't need them
And it's time we talk about it
Let's not waste our common ground
We will fall for standing and watching, all this silence
Dear Lord, are we numb? Where we going right now?

No, not later, no, no, no, not later
Oh, right now, oh, right now
Now, not later, no, not later
No, no, no, not later
Oh right now, oh right

Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Now or never, we can work together
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
We only suffer what we allow

Now, now, now
For all the people
In Puerto Rico
Way down in Houston
In Flint, Michigan
And standing right here
Way down in New Orleans
For all of the dreamers
The black lives that we've lost right now
Now, now
This can't wait, no
Ooh, right now
Now, now, now, now
Now, now, now

We are the look of freedom, oh
We are the sound of freedom
We are the look of freedom
We are the sound of freedom
