I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Heard from my baby yesterdayhe said that he’s doing fineheard from my baby yesterdayhe said he’s doing fineso damn hard to hear him smile I nearly lost my mind‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
Been looking for good companyto help me clear my headI’ve been looking for good company
to help me clear my headOne more night by my own side won’t get me out of bed‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
They told me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gotold me just to wait it outthese blues will come and gobut days keep getting colder and the sun don’t seem to show‘cause I’ve been down and under so long
I’ve been down and under
don’t know what’s going onI’ve been down and under
don’t know what I’m doing wrongAin’t no use in trying to get back up on my feet‘cause I’ve been down and under so long

I'm calling on every nation, Every generation, you are worthy of love and celebration, This is a tribute to you, This is a tribute to you.
Tell me why are you hiding that shine inside your star, Aren't you sick of fighting, The person that you are, There is a better way, Think about it, Be about it, Know your worth, And never doubt it, Rise above it, Push and shove it, Till you make them haters love it, Do what you do, Be authentically you, Cause who you are is magic,
Don't get lost in all the static.
This is for the mothers, Sisters and brothers, Young and old lovers, Every skin color, This is for the babies, Gentlemen and ladies, Cause who you are is magic, Don't get lost in all the static.

Think about it, Be about it, Know your worth, And never doubt it, Rise above it, Push and shove it, Till you make them haters love it, Do what you do, Be authentically you.
Cause who you srte is magic, Don't get lost in all the static.
