[Verse 1]
CEO of the free world now
Build your walls up high and wide
Make it rain to keep them out
That won't change what we are inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Pick the fruit of your labor
Cultivate, plant your seeds now and watch them grow
Man, I'll holla at you later
Let you find out what you're made of
Just saying...

[Chorus]
Is that the look of freedom, now?
Is that the sound of freedom, now?
'Cause it's plain to see a man's integrity
By the way he treats those he does not need
And it's time we talk about it
Let's not waste our common ground
We will fall for standing and watching, all in silence
Dear Lord, are we numb? Where we going right now?

[Hook]
No, not later, la, la, la, la, later
Oh, right now, oh, right now
No, not later, no, not later
La, la, la, la, later
This can't wait, no

[Verse 2]
CEO of the free world now
Should we teach our children hatred?
Chase the innocent, and shoot them down
It's like we're still running races
I'm just saying...

[Chorus]
Is that the look of freedom, now?
Is that the sound of freedom, now?
'Cause it's plain to see a man's integrity
By the way he treats those when he don't need them
And it's time we talk about it
Let's not waste our common ground
We will fall for standing and watching, all this silence
Dear Lord, are we numb? Where we going right now?

[Hook]
No, not later, la, la, la, la, later (La later)
No, right now, No, right now
No, not later, no, not later
La, la, la, la, later
Oh right now, oh right...

[Bridge]
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
Now or never, we can work together
Now, now, now
Now, now, now
We only suffer what we allow
Now, now, now
For all the people
In Puerto Rico
Way down in Houston
For Flint, Michigan
For Standing Rock, oh!
Way down in New Orleans
For all of the dreamers
The black lives that we've lost right now
Now, now
This can't wait, no
Oh, right now
Now, now, now, now
Now, now, now

[Outro]
We are the look of freedom, oh
We are the sound of freedom
We are the look of freedom
We are the sound of freedom

Miguel Jontel Pimentel, better known simply as Miguel, is an American recording artist, songwriter and producer. He was born and raised in San Pedro, California. His father is Mexican-American and his mother is African American. He often flaunts his Spanish in many songs. He also sung Remember Me from the movie Coco along side Natalia Lafourcade. In 2007, he signed to Jive Records in 2007 and released his debut album, All I Want Is You, in November 2010. Although it performed poorly upon its release, the album became a sleeper hit and helped Miguel garner commercial standing. Following Jive’s dissolution in 2011, he moved to RCA Records and released his second album Kaleidoscope Dream in 2012 to critical acclaim, followed it up three years later with the equally impressive Wildheart on June 29th, 2015, and his most recent work on December 1, 2017, named War & Leisure.
