Story of Everything (feat. Andra Day, Chuck D & Gary Clark Jr.)

Sing

The story of everything, uh

Living, dying, lying, denial

Sing

The story of everything

Sing

Here's a story for you that will make your head spin 'round

Some troubled soul walks into church and guns everyone down

What did that congregation do, they forgave that boy somehow

Our do-nothing congress, they never make mistakes (check 'em)

'Cause they don't show up to work except to give themselves a raise

The audacity of hope makes every bigot shake, yeah

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

You can live, you can die

But I know we gotta try to get along, get along

Living, dying, lying, denial

On Main Street USA, everybody's closing shop

'Cause them that's got, get richer, it's the have and the have-nots

My cousin stays on welfare, 'cause it pays more than a job

Ooh, yes, it does

Now every time they talk about the way it used to be

You keep on living in the past, don't do a damn thing for me

Don't tell me how it was, I tell you how it needs to be

Oh, yes, I will

Sing

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything (that's right y'all, sing)

That's the story of everything, yeah

You can live, you can die

But I know we gotta try to get along, yeah

Living, dying, lying, denial

Just hold them hands up, don't ya'll dare stop trying

Stompin' those feet and gasoline on these new seats

Save these babies spinning on this merry-go-crazy

Brees like the Saint, Chuck verse I'm stuck in

Cursing worse than the new blues, non-stuttering

What the O-M-G, S-M-H

Views of rating, news of hating, things get far gone if ya'll waiting

My mama held me in her arms, the same as I hold mine

I say my prayers and tell my babies everything is fine

Sometimes I break down, these are surely troubled times

Oh, yes they are

Sing

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything (that's right y'all, sing)

That's the story of everything, yeah

You can live, you can die

But I know we gotta try to get along, yeah

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything

That's the story of everything, yeah

You can live, you can die

But I know we gotta try to get along, yeah

Woo, woo (yeah, aw yeah, yeah, aw yeah)

Oh, oh (yeah, aw yeah, yeah, aw yeah)

That's the story (yeah, aw yeah, yeah, aw yeah)

That I make it back

I know we gotta change (story of everything)

Live, die, try, try (story of everything)

That's the story (live, die, know we gotta try)

Get along, yeah, yeah

Views of rating, news of hating

Views of rating, news of hating (get along)

Views of rating, news of hating

Things get far gone if ya'll waiting (to get along)

Views of rating, news of hating

Things get too far gone if ya'll waiting (to get along)

(To get along, try) get-get-get, get-get-get-get, get-get-get

Get-get-get-get along

(To get along) oh, along, along, along, along

Come on, clap your hands, keep that head up

Keep that head up, throw them hands up
