Prince - Right The Wrong lyrics

An Indian woman buried her grandpa in the Black Hills

When she was young

He used 2 tell her that these hills belonged 2 her still

And even though injustice took them hills away

"One day we'll get 'em back," he said

And the sun's gonna shine that day

When we say, right the wrong

Before she laid him down 2 rest

She heard his voice in the wilderness

Sayin' "I got 6 feet of it back!" ... huh

Now we can right the wrong

CHORUS:

Right the wrong, hear the song

Before long U won't hear nothin' but the crackle of flames

Right the wrong, hear the song

Would U rather die knowin' that U did or keep livin' in shame?

Did U hear the one about the boy just 17?

3 years hard time 4 stealin' ice cream

First offense and all his dreams are gone

How long before we right the wrong?

CHORUS

Right the wrong

2 3, uh

1 2, 1 2, come on!

Right the wrong, baby!

Yeehoo! Ow!

Far be it 4 me 2 say

It seem like we could stop the flow of snow in the sky 2 day

But I guess the weather man, he likes the rain

Ain't that insane?

Now sing ...

CHORUS

Come on, come on, come on! (Right the wrong)

Can U hear me, baby? (Right the wrong)

I'm 6 feet in the grave!

I'm 6 feet in the grave! (Right, right) (Right, right)

(Right the wrong) {repeat till end}

Ashes 2 ashes, dust 2 dust

This young man with a talented soul died when he wanted

The life that lives should not be pitied

Nor shall the guilty be forgiven

Until they can find it in their hearts 2 right the wrong
