Upside Down by Tanika Charles Lyrics

Starting with me, I'm starting with me
Look in the mirror and what do I see
You are who you are, they say that’s not the thing to be
Work twice as hard for half the opportunity
I look to the heavens would you show me the key
Can't empathize with those who don't show it to me
I’m done compromising I need change
At every scale in every way

Now let me tell you I woke up one day
And everything was upside down
Upside down
But some people say
We were always upside down
Upside down

Starting with me and my community
So easy to follow now it's time to take the lead
We're building tomorrow on a dream
Already got the model now it's time to seize the means
Okay I need you to get the word and I need you to call the press
And you can organize the voters and you stop stepping on our necks

Time's up for the man who can't respect our greatness
You better accept the changes, we're on our way
Time's up on the way that they intimidate us
You better get with the changes, we’re on our way

Now turn it all around, turn it all around
Said turn it all around, let’s turn it all around

I swear I woke up one day
And everything was upside down
Upside down
Now some people say
We were always upside down
Upside down
Now everyday
Something's always upside down
Upside down
We are always upside down
Upside down
