The only time we have is

The time we have right now!

You can go back to

The Slave shacks,

If you really want to…

But I don’t want to!

I like owning my

Houses and land,

When folks say, “No!”

I say, “Yes I can!”

God is lifting the heads

Of every black man,

Woman, child, our race-

But will we ever stop

Killing and fighting each other?

Will we ever come

Face to face with the past?

Will we build on our present?

The time is now…

They told us to ride

In the back-Because,

They were afraid of us

One day buying the bus…

From no rights and freedoms

To a black man representing us!

Look how far we’ve come!

It’s time to survive!

It’s time for us to realize

God didn’t bring us here

To victimize and terrorize.

Pick up the pace,

Don’t shame my race!

For our time is now…　

This is my time,

This is my season-

I have a cause,

I have a reason

To demand respect

From all of my

Brotha’s and sistah’s

Workin two jobs

To keep the lights on!

 
To praise God from

Where he brought me from-

I’m gonna take my chance!

And our chance is now!

All we have is right now….
