Looking back, at what we've done
How will you feel, about what we've become
Would you want to turn around
Would you want to be the one who is known
For doing everything that everyone just talked about
Will you be remembered
Or will you be forgotten
If a storm was coming would you do something to stop it
If you had a bottle you'd probably pop it
And if you knew that bottled water in the third world is not even an option
Deep pockets, would you ball out
Or listen to the cries of those that call out
Why we all about trying to stay fly
When the things with the wings are falling out of the sky (yea, why)
And when they land inside an odyssey
Will you be the one to spoil corporate royalty
And as the world is boiling and you have to evacuate
Tell me what will happen when a bag is all that you will have to take
So knowing half will break, and only some will stand
Would you grab a backpack or somebody's hand
Look, I don't want to criticize
I'm just asking you all to take a minute to visualize
Looking back, at what we've done
How will you feel, about what we've become
Would you want to turn around
Would you want to be the one who is known
For doing everything that everyone just talked about
Will you be remembered
(Will you be remembered) (will you be remembered)
(Will you be remembered) (will you be remembered)
Cause you don't have to be forgotten
For every flower rotting another one of them blossoms
They can be blocking policies, but never block democracy
The marble obviously opted on top of autocracy
And these will be the songs that are children hear
Don't you want to tell them how we made a killing here
How we pushing 23 year-old billionaires
How we put a black man in a white building, yea
So when they say that our fate is debatable
Ask them to find a generation more ready than capable
And I promise if I ever turn around
It will only be so I can take a bow, singing now
We gonna make it, we gonna make it
If one shot left then we gonna take it
And we gonna have a toast to be the best in the book
It's not the position you stand, it's the direction you look
When they look back
Will you be the one they talk about
So will you turn around
Would you want to turn around
Will they look back and remember
Looking back, at what we've done
How will you feel, about what we've become
Would you want to turn around
Would you want to be the one who is known
For doing everything that everyone just talked about
Will you be remembered
