Lyrics
Harmless as a dove, right?
So am I really soft if I'm the responding love type?
Please forgive me if I think that it takes
A brave man to bring a pen to a gun fight
Now I'm a middle child with a middle class view
Thought I understood the world at a little past two
Always clash with the culture, feeling anti-social
All this trash from the vultures, so I'm at your disposal
We are not the same, that's what people say
All I know is someone better tell that to our DNA
I see color as a flute, culture as a symphony
Nothing should be mute, we should feel each other's energy
But I hear fear in your anger
Church, are we family or are we strangers?
Listen, there's no love without labor
And if there's no love, we're in danger
There's a heaven and we all wanna go
Does anybody wanna fall on a sword?
Take my hand, I just want you to know
Healing begins when you call on the Lord
Yeah, I remember Dr. King say he gon' stick with love
He said that in spite of everyone he's suspicious of
Yo, that's the part that make me wonder
Like Jesus saw his enemies before
They left him bleeding on some lumber
While I work it out in writing, see some people wanna censor me
They tell me speak on love in ways that really make no sense to me
See, I rejoice in truth, so you hear justice in my anger
I be urgent in my tone and let it juxtapose my language
We must protect the immigrants so we can't stay ambiguous
Sacrificial love is more than photo ops and sentiment
The battleground is graphic, use discretion with these images
It's a field of broken hearts, nobody's innocent, yeah
There's a heaven and we all wanna go
Does anybody wanna fall on a sword?
Take my hand, I just want you to know
Healing begins when you call on the Lord
Dim the lights
Where you from, black or white? Choose your side
Can you feel when I fear for my life?
Do they drain from the tears from our eyes?
