I believe there's a right And I believe there's a wrong The north and south Black and white Can somehow get along What say you What say you I believe there's a basic goal in the heart of every man And I'm not gone to criticize what I can't understand What say you What say you I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind To take a stand, to draw the line To speak my heart and bare my soul I don't like lies I'd rather know the truth Hey, what say you What say you But I'm not ashamed of where I come from With this blue color on my shoulder And I don't love full handouts Cause I'm not afraid to work What say you Yeah, what say you Man, I don't talk no religion And I ain't gonna wave that flag But I love God and look for a miracle And I fight for what I have What say you Yeah, what say you I know I'm not always right I don't think I'm better than you I don't have all the answers But I share my point of view What say you I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind To take a stand, to draw the line To speak my heart and bare my soul I don't like lies I'd rather know the truth So what say you What say you What say you and you and you and you ... What say you
