Our
time here will be measured
by how we carefully consider or deliberate our reality.
As time is evolving,
it seems so much has changed.
So much is moving to a different rhythm.
The way we work, live,
love, meet and greet.
Can't you feel we're changing the way we see
and hear our life in reality?
I know you understand.
You can feel there's a beat,
there's drumming,
it's all.
Even if you're not a musician,
you can hear when music is not right.
Can you tell that life is out of tune?
Do you feel our reality is off beat?
Listening to spirits that conflict against the truth.
We know to be true.
Truth.
You better believe people have come to our communities,
co-opted
our cause,
incited violence.
The community knows it
even if you don't and won't report
the truth.
No amount of money has ever brought a life back.
Ask yourself,
why would we accept
anyone,
call a fallen soldier,
anything less than they want to make?
Why can't we hear
love, the greater truth,
as opposed to being consumed and bombarded by conspiracies and lies?
Where's our love for each other?
Where is the love that will make us do what is right?
It's people.
No matter your color,
your political persuasion,
religion,
or geography,
you know the truth.
You know the truth.
You're not like those who go deaf when they don't want to hear
or become blind
when they choose not to see.
You will do something about it.
Because we can't take the chance that
someone else will do what we have to do.
We can't put it in the hands of fate.
You say you're sick and tired of us protesting.
I say not tired enough to make a change.
You say, just you hold on.
I say,
no way,
because we can't put it in the hands of fate.
You say you believe that all lives matter.
I say I don't believe a * thing.
You say all things in time.
I say that's why I'm not going to put it in the hands of fate.
Ain't nobody got time to wait.
We can't
put it in the hands of fate.
Because
we can't put it in the hands of fate.
We can't put it in the hands of fate.
My brother,
my sister,
my friend,
ain't nobody got time to wait.
You say now you really truly get it.
I say how what you do will let me know.
You say I'm so ready.
I say let's do this and not just put it in the hands of fate.
