lyrics

Our world needs healing
Who’s gonna be the one to do it?
The rapper making you self-conscious for driving a Buick?
The mother channeling the challenges she has with self-esteem
Back into you because your life isn’t how she would do it?
My M.O. isn’t yelling, “Wake up,” calling you sheep
I would rather protect you and let you finish your dream
And when you’re ready to arise
Brush your hair to the side and ask
When your eyes are open,
“What do you see?”
We find ourselves in strange times in a strange place
Born to die and we die to reincarnate
And I suppose that we incarnate to learn things
And realize we are descendants of a very pure being
But that can take time
A very great time
And we complain about everything with a wait time
Tell us, “Time is of the essence. Need to make time.”
If unity is coming, I think now would be a great time
I’ve seen a lot of things in my time on this planet Earth
Most of our greatest minds are not receiving what they’re worth
A boy thinking his creative genius was a curse
And those enjoying life more than I?
Dead inside a hearse
Where does time go?
As it slips through the grip
Fools attempt
Wound the pinch
Bruise the lips
Doesn’t even matter the ferocity of the clinch
It’ll inch out as you attempt it into the fist though
Really, what do I know?
Nine years ago, I was a Selfish Bastard
Six years, I Nu Blu was what I was after
Three years, I broke up with my Ex Machina
Carry the 2
Where has it taken me?
Back to the beginning with you?
And I get tired a lot
The road is winding
And those who make a name say everything is timing
Thought my desire for success would dissipate with time
If you’re keeping tabs
Please don’t time me
