{chorus: lincoln & mjangles}
When i wake up to the call of the morning
I hear the music of the nation evolving
And so i open up my eyes
I read between the lines
I know it’s time to rise to the calling
‘cause all i see is one nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
Two faces
One statement
‘cause all i see is
All i see is one nation
{verse 1: lincoln}
Who am i? who am i?
Who the fu*k this is?
Y’all don’t know? listen close
Here’s a fu*king hint
I embody everybody that therе’s ever been
From peasant to thе reverends my blessing is so evident
The blood of millions never wash away the truth
Like the love of millions lost outside our nation’s view
Proof, that no sacrifice was in vein
From this past the life that i take will come to reclaim this anthem i play
{verse 2: mjangles}
May the lord forgive ‘em
They know not what they do
I’m the leader of many
I bet you wish you knew
Someone grab the confetti
And then bring me a fuse
We blowing up and celebrating a nation of two
‘cause to tell you the truth
Y’all must have me confused
Who else be calling to the troops with a swagger this smooth?
And any doubter need to get it and pack it and move
I think you mistaking me for someone with something to prove
{chorus: lincoln & mjangles}
When i wake up to the call of the morning
I hear the music of the nation evolving
And so i open up my eyes
I read between the lines
I know it’s time to rise to the calling
‘cause all i see is one nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
Two faces
One statement
‘cause all i see is
All i see is one nation
{bridge: lincoln & mjangles}
Hol’ up, hol’ up
What’s that sound i’m hearing?
Hol’ up, hol’ up
What’s that vibe i’m feeling?
Hol’ up, hol’ up
This that new sensation
Welcome to the nation
Welcome to the nation
{lincoln}
When i rise to your call
It’s not over until i fall
When i’m free play this song
They’ll remember me when i’m gone
{verse 3: mjangles}
When i told the world that i could be the one
I told the world a prophecy to come
I believe the prophecy has come
And i don’t believe the prophecy is done
What you see is a self-made prodigy
Set for self-made progress, b
And i’ll stop at the top of the rock where the gods will be
Ready to read ya apology, g
{verse 4: lincoln}
Please don’t weep for me ‘cause this nation just a piece of me
Resonating at a frequency that all people speak
And demonstrating all that we can see
It seems to me the weak regulating all that we perceive
But please believe the dream of the peace we seek
Can teach the creed to reach for the decency
And beat deceit to keep all people free
{verse 5: lincoln & mjangles & both}
I am the dream that my mama had
And you ain’t gonna treat it like contraband
(and i still believe in that promised land)
And i will achieve what my mama planned
I am the hope that my father kept
And i hold the soul of my father’s steps
(so i walk in the valley with a confidence)
With no fear of the tears or the consequence
So don’t question me ‘bout my competence
And don’t question my accomplishments
For all those who doubt my prominence
This nation’s my hypothesis
And i just might fall but still i rise
With the whole world standing side by side
If you feel my pride
If you feel our ties
We can make our nation one in time
{chorus: lincoln & mjangles}
When i wake up to the call of the morning
I hear the music of the nation evolving
And so i open up my eyes
I read between the lines
I know it’s time to rise to the calling
‘cause all i see is one nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
One nation (one nation)
Two faces
One statement
‘cause all i see is
All i see is one nation
