anacron - peace requiem / spirit lyrics

i came up in the 90’s
finding strength through the struggles of the
80’s, 70’s, 60’s, and 50’s behind me
blinding pride being my reason for being
fleeing mistreatment from mistaken ident-ty
based on the misconception and common lesson that
i am lesser than even less than a human being
foresight, oversight, eyesight, my sight, insight intact
i make moves to reshape futures
meanwhile, of course it’s unseen forces tend to make it bend back
i been black, and i been this and that, the wick, the wack
the trip, the trap, the hip, the hap, the skip, the skat
beep, bop, doo-wop, and boom-bap
there’s a war going on outside no man is safe from
soldiers made from hate come to deface the greatness you made
with love, peace, joy
“boy, if you don’t get yo b-tt up off that…”
couch, smartphone, comforts, devices, and resources
your nicest device is your brother, and your greatest resource is eachother
and that’s only beneficial to benefit you
if you choose to use it
so do it

talk the talk, then talk the walk
and walk the talk, then walk and talk
spirit

don’t tell me nothin’ about the blues, bruh
the race’s stasis in better places than what it used to
we get the respect we was never gave then
the government used to entrap and enslave men
aristocrats used to sn-tch land from the natives
then gave us economical, psychological cages
they used to call it “cleansing,” push us out and take the neighborhood
whisk your kids away, to make behavior good
they could k!ll us in broad daylight
i said they could k!ll us in broad daylight
black people act equal, trying to disobey, whites
call the cops so they could k!ll us in broad daylight
but only back in the day, right?
systemic oppression’s a game they never play, right?
conservatives going left because they ain’t right
revolution sparks evolution needed to change life
yo, who got a light?

you gon’ walk the walk, then walk with spirit
you gon’ talk the talk, be sure they hear it
you gon’ hurdle the challenge, you gots to clear it
you gon’ fight the power, then you can’t fear it
