Mavis Staples - Witness lyrics

[Chorus] Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Gonna be a witness? Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Gonna be a witness? Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Gonna be a witness? Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Gonna be a witness? Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Gonna be a witness? [Verse 1] Right now we could use a little pick-me-up Seems like the whole damn nation's trying to take us down When your brother's dying Mother's crying TV's lying All the reason's in the world don't mean sh** to me now [Pre-Chorus] See we thought that we saw that he had a gun Thought that it looked like he started to run Thought that we saw that he had a gun Thought that it looked like he started to run [Chorus] Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Just gonna be a witness? Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Gonna be a witness? [Verse 2] Do you need another reason to get up See how fast they turn when you're looking up They say your dangerous Cancerous Not to trust Now everybody that's brown can get the f** on the ground [Pre-Chorus] See we thought that we saw that he had a gun Thought that it looked like he started to run Thought that we saw that he had a gun Thought that it looked like he started to run [Chorus] Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Gonna be a witness? Am I Am I Gonna be a witness? Gonna be a witness? [Instrumental] [Chorus] Gonna be a witness? (Gonna be a witness?) Just gonna be a witness? (Gonna be a witness?) Am I Woah Gonna be a witness? Just a witness? I Oh, I
