Lyrics

Where Did We Go Wrong

Verse 1
Somebody tell me what is going on
Your words were always strong
they built me up and showed how much U loved me

But lately things seem to have gone wrong
Cuz now the words of songs
Hurt and disrespect me

What did I do to you to make U feel this way
Don?t u remember how we stood together back in day
When all we had was you and I
We fought the wrongs of life - side by side

Chorus
Where did we go wrong, we used to be so strong
In your eyes, you told me, when u sang ur songs
U used to lift me up, but now its tearing me down
Where did we go wrong?

Verse 2
Not pointing fingers, no that?s my aim
It?s just a money game
Designed to camouflage our shame

So sad to see the true reality
Of our mentality
The things we sacrifice for money

Tell me how did we get here why did we go astray
From the values set by those that prayed for a brighter day
When we had to lift each other
Remember I am your sister, and you?re my brother

Chorus
Where did we go wrong, we used to be so strong
I believed ya when you told me, u said it in ur songs
U used to lift me up, but now it?s breaking me down
Where did we go wrong? Is the love all gone?

Where did we go wrong? Can we right these wrongs?
Sing about my beauty, and the things that make me strong
Would U build me up, let?s turn this thing around
Are those days all gone? Is the love all gone?
