Lyrics
If I’m going down, I’m going down fighting
I ain’t going nowhere quietly
They wanna take control of my body and my soul
But if I’m going down they’re coming with me
Are you coming with me
While I got the mic I might as well tell it
Ain’t no secret who they’re trying to please
You’d have to be ashamed for calling on God’s name
If hate’s the only poison you bleed
And that’s not what we need
I choose love, I choose love, I choose love
I’m not alone, I got my whole army with me
They’re telling me I don’t love my country
But I love what I know it could be
We walk on stolen lands, in cities built by shackled hands
But I can own my dirty history
And make it history
I choose love, I choose love, I choose love
I’m not alone, I got my whole army with me
Love can raise an army, A loving revolution
Love can raise an army, A loving revolution
Love can raise an army, A loving revolution
Love can raise an army, A loving revolution
I choose love, I choose love, I choose love
I’m not alone, I got my whole army with me
I choose love, I choose love, I choose love
I’m not alone, I got my whole army with me
I got my whole army with me
