Tried to tell you in what's it going to take
It's dark above freedoms that took long to make
For which many good folk done paid the tab
If you think of this as rhetoric you've been had
just when it seemed possible to make it through
Arizona tries to pass one zero six two
the governor shot down the designer
Had it passed it would have been a primer
A starting point for many with like minds
It gets worse might want to close the blinds
Intolerance is at it again
Heard it read it on the news it's at it again
Just when it seemed hate found a new way
Turns out it's really locked on to previous ways
Which is why we've got to break them chains
What I do is a little different but we're all the same
Couldn't see it but now I see
things the world used to say to me
It used to tell me that life wasn't fair
and some folk treat each other like they just don't care
It even said don't let it hold you back
and if it looks and sounds too good that it might be a trap
And even if you feel big as a house
to make sure you think twice before you open your mouth
Waking up in the morning
Cringing while I'm yawning
Turn on the T.V. nothing sounds great
Iphones powered off means that I'll be late
Perpetual drive to make life easier
Threatened when Newton wrote time is linear
Now there's time to spend time preparing
As the day moves behind you the next one starring
although we can't see through that veil
Much is paid for tomorrow when it's not for sale
For some it's better than what's happening now
Remember choice is the catalyst for all things now
And for all things later cause what's done is done
We're just going through the motions like moves of the sun
stay optimistic cause deep inside
You know today can change tomorrow in the blink of an eye
Couldn't see it but now I see
things the world used to say to me
It used to tell me that life wasn't fair
and some folk treat each other like they just don't care
It even said don't let it hold you back
and if it looks and sounds too good that it might be a trap
And even if you feel big as a house
to make sure you think twice before you open your mouth
Hmmm, what it would take
To have the illness of racism pull on the brake
The have folk like DS making a case
For how we all can get along no matter the place
You now see it's not coming to pass
No matter how much tolerance they're pushing in class
Ignorance listen, it's a new day
can't jab and run away like them old ways
It isn't over I said if before
Never let hate magnetize me no more
Keeps biting me fighting me inviting me to talk
But talking's half battle got to walk the walk
Remember the troubles we've all been through
And how things worked out better when we thought them through
Ain't quite the same but you get my drift
When you're up against the wicked you got to be swift
Couldn't see it but now I see
things the world used to say to me
It used to tell me that life isn't fair
and some folk treat each other like they just don't care
It even said don't let it hold you back
and if it looks and sounds too good that it might be a trap
And even if you feel big as a house
to make sure you think twice before you open your mouth
