Lyrics
[Rapsody] It's the R-A-P-S-O-D-Y Yo [Rapsody] History say don't repeat her Many years a slave, took notes from the Peter You should marvel at the fightin', feel like Anitta Apologize, you denied my people Made our death legal, we all paralegal Gotta defend ourselves when the laws ain't equal Cops aim lethal, death in cathedrals Bang, bang boogie, you could die wearin' a hoodie, bow [Cordae] Yeah, uh Alright, sometimes we gotta find our creator If I defeated Father Time, was raised by Mother Nature In the projects, tenement walls, sudden withdrawals A true rebel is easy to spot the government flaws Mass confusion, people in power commit collusion Indoctrinated students, I'm the leader of the movement Take lifetimes, tryna duck the school-to-prison pipeline Disenfranchised, amazin' I'm in my right mind Create change, survive, struggle to maintain So many lies within the campaign, a damn shame I'm thinkin' how will we survive When the freedom that we have's a façade? Yeah [Stevie Wonder] You say you're sick and tired of us protesting I say, "Not time enough to make a change" You say, "Just keep holdin' on" I say "No, way, 'cause we can't put it in the hands of fate" Can't put it in the hands of fate, now baby You say that you believe in all lives matter I say, I don't believe the fuck you do You say, "All things in time" I say, that's why I'm not gonna put it in the hands of fate [Busta Rhymes & Stevie Wonder] Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Not gon' put it in the hands of fate now, baby Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No, no, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait [Stevie Wonder] In the not so distant tomorrow Robins will sing your lullaby But I've seen too many of our generations Live and die for that pie in the sky [Stevie Wonder] You say, "Those innocent lives should've not been taken" And I say, "For them, it's why we take a knee" You say, "Is that the right lane" I say, "First Amendment everyday" 'Cause we can't put it in the hands of fate [Busta Rhymes & Stevie Wonder] Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait We can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Come on ??? tomorrow ??? will sing your lullaby But I've seen too many of our generations Live and die for that ??? in the sky [CHIKA] Yeah, we went from fields into a field Bodies hit the ground, and so we gotta take a kneel Mothers missin', kid's attorneys say they oughta take a deal They determine that the prize of life is just a couple mill And bricks are meant to build, and fires meant to light And souls are meant to rest and living soldiers gotta fight We don't need no politics to try to justify the plight It's a problem of the people, it's no longer black and white [Busta Rhymes] Look So, we ain't talkin' no more, we gettin' to it Can't put it in the hands of fate, this how we do it Now let me go and get with all of my people, you know I have to get That'll show me sacrifice just like my brother Colin Kaepernick Opportunities that I get to talk, you know I have to spit Breonna Taylor turn in her grave, you know we have to get justice And stay in your place, we still focused on the outcome of George Floyd case While you out here doin' the minimal, hah Everything about us still live by the principle Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait [Stevie Wonder] You say now you really truly get it I say, "How much you do will let me know" You say, "I'm so ready" I say, "Let's do this, and not just put it in the hands of fate" [Busta Rhymes & Stevie Wonder] Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait We can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No, no, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Oh, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Oh, no, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Oh, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Oh, no, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait No, no, no Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait
