Learn from the past, New Orleans was floodedSo we know we just can’t rely on the governmentWe under the rubble again, here we go rumbling whenWhen we gon catch a break, my friend lost his mother and thenAnd then, Carline lost her uncles and themBuried with no caskets, they just put covers on themAnd the tears fall, and we fight backStory ain’t done, it can’t end like thatNah not like this, tomorrow’s survivors gonna carry on your nameYou live on inside us, your memory’s alive with usYou inspired us, to rebuild this country, you just guide us
