View the lyrics
So go ahead and fix your crown
Then watch it all burn in smoke, oh-oh
Go ahead and stand your ground
We're on the long road to freedom, no, no

Too much time tryna figure out why
Too much time to be patient
All this time you be feeding us lies
Ain't no truths in your statements
Too much pain in these little white lies, you left here
All this time tryna figure out how, we're still here

I take pride in the things that we've done
Side by side in the revolution
Won't stay silent for things that I love
'Cause we know them nuh care about us
White men can't jump but at least they can run
Broke these chains just to put our hands up
They can never see the kingdom coming
You wanna see us all amount to nothing, no

I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
Both feet on the line

By any means I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
By any means I will fight (For you, for you)

I've spent too many days in my head now
Did you think we would forget, how?
Too many destinies, too many sentences, read now
Read now, see all this pain in the headlines
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens
See you would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye

And what if we changed the world?
We rise from the flames the victor
It's far from a perfect picture
I know we're sinful but we are human
Would you be grateful if you took my place?
Say my name (Say my name)
There is redemption in the steps we take

Say, one life and I'm gonna use it (Oh)
Innocent 'til I am proven (Oh, no)
One last chance and you blew it (Oh)
One last dance in the ruins (Oh)
So much hate in your movements (Oh, no)
Told me I couldn't prove it (No)
One last prayer for the sinners (Ooh)
You only learn what you witnessed (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

I can see your face, see the light in your eyes
I can see the change, feel the heat of the fire
If you can feel the pain, then you know you're alive
Both feet on the line

By any means I will fight (For you, for you), oh, no
By any means I will fight (For you, for you), no-oh
By any means I will fight (For you, for you)
Any means I will fight (For you, for you)

I've spent too many days in my head now
Did you think we would forget, how?
Too many destinies, too many sentences, read now
Read now, see all this pain in the headlines
But I have cried for the last time
But know what happens
See you would be blind if it was just an eye for an eye
