Текст песни
Flag draped on my denim for the nameless, the victims
Of hanging and lynching, the rape of the women
Justified by the lies of a racist religion
Hatred and venom disguised as patriotism
You can't blame me for being a little angry and bitter
Creative and driven, it made me consider
What I say to the rhythm with painstaking precision
That comes from taking a minute, concentrating, contemplating
Making major decisions to change the way I've been living
Stay awake and envision this new fateful beginning
Time for a shift, transmit the transition
Stare in the abyss, stop, look, and listen
Different perspectives are interconnected
The artificial's getting rejected, I won't accept it
It's getting hectic as certain sectors
Exist to protect it and now they feel threatened
How many times civilization been destroyed?
With all this intellect, man, we can't avoid
The worst-case scenarios, earthquakes and floods
Fascist establishments, pathogens and blood
With no known cure, hole in the ozone sure to expand
Africans ravaged for their resources and lands
Earth's inhabitants don't stand a chance
Led by savages that are technologically advanced
Corruption, destruction, something just ain't right (It ain't right)
We're doing our best but still we're oppressed
And we're running out of time (Running out of time)
Confusion, pollution, no solution in sight
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best
'Cause we're running out of time
Yo, it's not about fear, but it's about being clear
So much to gain as the end draws near
Not to hush your worry, but I won't rush or scurry
I walk with purpose through the destructive fury
People push and hurry with they vision so blurry
They hit walls that fall on them, they're getting buried
The enamel cracks on the facade
The camel's back snaps, dismantled by the straw
Armageddon is relative, check your intelligence
Millions are homeless, exposed to the elements
Bombs evaporate buildings, decapitate children
And now the soldiers are suicidal after they kill them
Is the jihadist worse for sacrificing himself
Or the U.S. soldier who just killed someone else?
Over and over, just following orders
Like an arcade game, just swallowing quarters
The plot thickens, the victims are not forgetting
I'm watching the clock and it hasn't stopped ticking
So you wanna get paid, you're staying a slave
And the paper you making is digging your grave
Your family's eating but they're swallowing death
You set the example and they follow your steps
Where you running to? You're running out of time
What you gonna do? That's the bottom line
Get right with myself and then get right with my God
Get right with my loved ones and work real hard
Embrace my health and aim for the stars
Speak from my heart and teach through the art
Bad news is nothing new under the sun
All issues emerge and fuse, converge as one
Better learn to be happy, laugh more, have fun
'Cause at any second we could all be done
Corruption, destruction, something just ain't right
We're doing our best but still we're oppressed
And we're running out of time
Confusion, pollution, no solution in sight
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best
'Cause we're running out of time
Corruption, destruction, something just ain't right
We're doing our best but still we're oppressed
And we're running out of time
Confusion, pollution, no solution in sight
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best
'Cause we're running out of time
Yeah, man
It's a good time to be alive
And that's what I'm saying
I've been peeping this since I was a youngster
Looking at it all go by, predicting it
Staying in touch with the energy that I was feeling
And it's coming loose
The present situation, it's what we make it, yeah
