What can I give
Not what can I gain
It’s time to live a new story
And let go of the pain

Ask What Can I Give
Not what can I gain Ohhh
The rat race is over
This was not a winning game

Are your really happy
Just living for yourself
Or do you dream of something more
They’ve got us pitted against each other
But who do you think that’s for?
They can’t control a people who aren't divided anymore

So ask What can I give
Not what can I gain, Ohh
It’s time to live a new story
And let go of the pain

Ask What Can I Give
Not what can I gain, Ohh
The rat race is over
This was not a winning game

Oh this American dream
It never really was a dream was it
Born on the back of slavery
Born on the killing of a wholesome people
Founded on takin’ whatever you want
Founded on white men calling the calls
Founded on black men behind bars
Founded on women hidin’ their scars

This is not it
This is not it
This is not it
This is not all who we are

This is not it
This is not it
This is not it
This is not all who we are

So ask What can I give
Not what can I gain ooh
It’s time to live a new story
And let go of the pain

Ask What Can I Give
Not what can I gain Ohh
The rat race is over
This was not a winning game

It’s time to live a new story
Close this book
Bow to the pain
It’s time to live a new story
Release the shame
It’s time to live a new story
Don’t ask what can I gain
It’s time to live a new story
And ask, what can I Give?

What can I give?
What can I give?
what can I give?
what can I give?

what can I give?
what can I give?
what can I give?
woahhhhhh
what can I give?
what can I
what can I give?
