No matter if you're black, white, yellow, brown
And no matter where you're coming from

And comin on strong

Hey hey yeah

So strong we keep comin on
Hey hey yeah

So strong we keep comin on

Keep comin on you know we keep comin on
With a vibe that is laced with consciousness
Inspiration, love, dedication
Keep coming yes we have revolution in progress
Reality changing, moving shifting us higher
To a connection with Gaia
Running out of rhythm,
You know that we're coming on strong
Because we keep comin on

Hey hey yeah

Spreading good word to each and every nation
And when we're done it's like the sun has just shone
No matter what tribe you might want to learn

Oh whether African or whether European
Or whether American or whether you are Asian
No matter if you're black, white, yellow or brown
Keep comin on, you know, we keep comin on

It's not just having two gigantic Jasons Statham in the background dancing the same choreographed moves, but to have one of them edited to start EXACTLY one beat ahead of the other is simply a genius move. GENIUS.

@natepoodle9132

Never even noticed before, well spotted!

@Architekt909

omg I can't believe I never noticed this until just now. Of course it happened when I was in the same mental state as the video. A magical moment. I salute you.

@croweater78
