Listen Now
So now for a long time I’ve made these rhymes
And finally my name is immortal for now, and all times
But still I don’t think you have heard my prayer
Still, I think, my message is blocked, cannot hear
So let me say this, open your covered eyes
Look at this world, filled with hate, deception, lies
Sanctuary for the wealthy, nets only for cure
Caught in by the greedy, no longer heavenly pure
So my message is simple, just learn to wake up
In this time with no salvation, like silver spoon and cup
And hear me now; open your closed eyes and ears
Why do we exist in this world of death and fears?
You all know what I’m saying is true
So my question is, what are you going to do!?
You can’t vote out of this, your rights can’t protect
Just remember and be strong, and never, never, forget!
This isn’t the end of the world because I know I won’t die
Simply because, I have a task before my soul flies
I was put here for a reason, so is every one of you
Again, in this time of deception, what are you going to do?!
Listen to me now, like you never have before
It is time to act not bow, or learn how to endure
Everyone must be strong, everyone will know my name
It is time to be a lion, no longer collared and tame
So will you stand by me finally, and take up the act
Or are you content just to stare and sit back?
Don’t be weak, stand! You are the entirety of the nation
Actng is all we can do to satisfy our salvation
No longer will I wonder, no longer will I cry
No longer will I be weak, no longer will I die
I am so tired, so tired, and I can tell you exactly why
It’s because of this world, don’t stop at the sky!
So hear my name, because you will hear it a lot more
Take up the cause and start the peaceful war
This is not a time to sit, not a time to die
It is the time to change, the time to occupy!
