lyrics

(Verse 1)

peep the timeline, police kill a black man
pay money to the tax man, to drop bombs on an afghan
while the kids are bustin’ shots, playing call of duty
pretend to be in the military, fighting for the free
now marvin G I gotta ask what’s goin on?
even as a child, I could feel there’s something wrong
now that I have grown I’m trying to comprehend
before a youngster of my own, coming in
gotta find a place that we could call home
before they feel the cold of this world
oh baby girl, please don’t lose ya soul to this world
I want you to see a brighter day
I want you to know there’s more than this
so you will know the right of way
so I will just pray for this world that we leaving for you
people giving up but we gon’ be there for you
cuz there’s a reason for you livin
another world we dreaming for you
for now, in my heart is where I’ll keep it for you

(Hook)

Hold on
you got to hold on
in this cold world
hold on

(Verse 2)

I got no answers only questions
if both sides think they’re righteous
will the road to hell be paved with good intention?
got no facts I’m only guessing, would it be effective…
to fight ‘em with the weapons they invented?
I can feel the tension, every time I give attention
to the time line that downloads into my mind, all by design
so divisive feeding in my vices, social media be
streaming freely, but I wonder what the price is
is this the way that life is, living in a society of sickness
where you gotta be sick to fit in, oppressor or the victim
where false idols shout loud and God whisper
I’m learning how to filter and learning how to listen
and what I choose to give attention to is my decision
if I turn it off, and look inside, will I find the wisdom?
beyond the definitions of division we been given
another world is calling, tell me what’s your vision
