Stop It Now

Stop saying, “If I”
If I was born another time,
If I was born another race,
If I was rich with lots of things,
If I, If I, If I,
Stop It! Stop It! Stop It now!

You are who you are,
Nothing can change that,
The color of your skin,
It’s who you are,
Then if I am not who am I,
Who am I,
If I, If I, If I,
Stop it! Stop it! Stop it now!

Be who you are,
Prepare for the future now.
Christ has set you free,
He was nailed to the tree,
He did it for you and me,
He gave us the Key,
Why can’t you see,
Stop saying,
If I, If I, If I,
Stop it! Stop It! Stop It Now!
