okay okay okay okay okay

[verse + capital ode]
the sky is falling
the reaper calling
no time for stalling
tell me, baby are you all in?
i been hauling
out to all of the gatherings
hope you follow the pattern and
maybe catch me cus i’m falling off balance
it’s like the silence of the lambs
our silence is their jam
they’re slaughtering
us n+ggas picking cotton again
few of us plotting the end
farrakhan arguments
start to pop up and to trend
then we drop out of the frenzy
n+ggas want a benzy
n+ggas wanna live like white folk
envy
please don’t tempt me
police choke
the life outta n+ggas
and our women
start petitions
and get to kicking
all the dust off of these politicians
and we hardly listen+
their problems, we call it b+tchin
we fall out..
over small bouts
draw crowds
bickering
i’m thinking when
it’s finally time to return the favor
our ladies do deserve our labor
so fellas tell um…
[chorus + capital ode]
yeah, we in
dire times
but you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
yeah, we in
dire times
but you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
yeah, we in (we in)
dire times
but you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
yeah, we in (we in)
dire times
dire times
oh yeah yeah

[verse + capital ode]
i might name my kids after all our fallen soldiers
just so they can get a do+over
to see liberation, we so close to
i’m impatient
would i take it
if others couldn’t get nathan?
a rat that’s racing
in fact it’s chasing
after the cheese
pattering feet
the american dream
what a nightmare
i fear
n+ggas don’t like their
selves
so much they’ll hate somebody else
just for loving themself
and having the courage to love someone else
who looks like themself
i think that’s it’s been prolonged
for so long
of n+ggas acting so strong
that they can’t even hold on to n+ggas…
and i don’t just mean men in those sentences
not just those of us with extra appendages
but when it comes to putting their own bodies on the front lines
the lgbtq community done it for us every one time
let um know

[chorus + capital ode]
yeah, we in
dire times
but you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
yeah, we in
dire times
but you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
yeah, we in (we in)
dire times
but you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
yeah, we in (we in)
dire times
dire times
oh yeah yeah

[outro + capital ode]
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
