This the voice of reason
Speakin' till ya speakers pop
I compose in every season
Burtie Bacharach
I heard they call my verses heathen
Lizzy Proctor opp'
I'd rather die convict of treason 'fore I ever stop
Scarred up broke soul long suffer still
A sacrificial life is hungry feedin' others meals
Leave the grain for folk to eat when croppin' summer field
And never sell out on ya neighbor with a bogus deal
Put the people over profit pain over gain
The money come and go but truly only Love remains
Sand castles on the earth could never be sustained
They only topple down to nothing faced with heavy rain
Justice indivisible
We prone to only focus on the pain that individual
I speak global hurt and then you claim I'm too political
Oppression anywhere, a threat to peace that's impermissible
Additionally learn what you got in yo reach
You ain't solve every injustice in a day or a week
Pick up yo head when you speak
You wasn't made to be weak
Our crumbing planet needs your voice see God done made you unique
If you got breathe in yo lungs and beating blood in your heart
Then ain't a force inside this earth could stop the change that you start
Know that life is like a vapor, we got dates to depart
So why you waitin' on the change that God gave you to impart
Yeah
Red babushka round my head my little riding hood
Vivid visions of postion's that I never stood
The wolves was plottin' how to get me in my neighborhood
But words I spoke turned 'em to God before they ever could
I used to work for me and now I work for us eternally
If I come up then you come up you see how Jesus nurtured me
The nature of the people, we was made to live in harmony
I just can't shake this feelin' every human in a part of me
