Yeah, say can y'all hear me

The Green is coming hey hey

Me say me say oh yeah

Ah me say oh oh yeah

The Green is coming

Ah hear me say

I know you see it, but you don't want to hear it

Sometimes you get the best of me, and I can't believe it

So what you gonna do when it comes down

And where you gonna stand when there's no ground

I tell you what you want to hear

You know that I'll be waiting here

I gotta be free, got to give love

I gotta be strong never giving up

I gotta sing praise with the sound of drums

You know that I'll be for my family

I gotta be cool when its getting hot

I gotta stand tall, got to reach the top

I gotta be a man, give it all I got

You know that I'll be for my family

Everybody's asking, they just want to hear

And they just need the truth

Wrapped in silver lining, neon colors

And they can't let it go

Everybody's asking, they just want to hear

And they just need the truth

Wrapped in silver lining, neon colors

And they can't let it go, no

See they just can't let it go

I gotta be free, got to give love

I gotta be strong never giving up

I gotta sing praise with the sound of drums

You know that I'll be for my family

I gotta be cool when its getting hot

I gotta stand tall, got to reach the top

I gotta be a man, give it all I got

You know that I'll be for my family

Well I feel loved, and hated at the same time

I feel like everybody's fussing, but I'm still trying

Well speak up if you got something to say

I'm standing right here I ain't going nowhere

You best believe, that I'm an all around lover

Not just a freak, that just be working undercover

Yeah I'm that same man with that same plan

Making sure that you hear it, it's best you understand

I gotta be free, got to give love

I gotta be strong never giving up

I gotta sing praise with the sound of drums

You know that I'll be for my family

I gotta be cool when its getting hot

I gotta stand tall, got to reach the top

I gotta be a man, give it all I got

You know that I'll be for my family
