[Lyric] Happenin Pride (Eric Champion)

Well, I was watchin' the set
And I got real depressed
Because the only thing I heard
Was how this world was such a mess
So I took a walk to get away from it all
When I passed a ghetto
By a shopping mall
Kids with bare feet, not a thing to eat
While there were people parking Jags
Right across the street
I tried to change the channel
But I had to realize
This was America absent disguise

We are the hope for this generation
Beliеve in yourself, this is our liberation

Gеt up, get out
Sober yourself to what's about
Gotta take command
We can't fly and hide
This is you, this is me
It's not just happenin' across the sea
We can make a change
If we find some happenin' pride
Our kids are droppin' out of school like flies
With the pressures of an adult at nine
Feeling the hurt first, growing up worthless
Given no hope so we don't even try
But I got somethin' to say, so listen to me
God has a plan for every heartbeat
No matter what your state of story
Just believe in yourself
And get some happenin' pride

We are the hope for this generation
Believe in yourself, this is our liberation

Get up, get out
Sober yourself to what's about
Gotta take command
We can't fly and hide
This is you, this is me
It's not just happenin' across the sea
We can make a change
If we find some happenin' pride

Take pride in who you are
No shame for our generation
Time's tough won't steal our pride
We're proud just to be alive
Get up, get out
Sober yourself to what's about
Gotta take command
We can't fly and hide
This is you, this is me
It's not just happenin' across the sea
We can make a change
If we find some happenin' pride

Get up, get out
Sober yourself to what's about
Gotta take command
We can't fly and hide
This is you, this is me
It's not just happenin' across the sea
We can make a change
If we find some happenin' pride
