Lyrics

Greetings people of color, as I speak to you through this human vessel while being inspired to make a change
Humanity is under attack while false prophets preach for financial gain
Some will fall weak, and others will stand stern in their belief
The purpose for me, is to give you hope in time of need

Remember, we're God's people, and in our heart love is a valuable commodity
We're a people of strength, and you should believe that cold-heartedly
Now success is a process, hold steady and strive hard
If you remain sincere, you are yours

The choices you make are already ordained by God, and it should never be denied
And as I confide in you, we, and them, the situation remains dim
But lo and behold, there's a light at the end. Amen

It's been a long time coming
I've been on my grind
It's been a long time coming
It's my time, it's my time

I've been searching for myself, like who am I really
No joke, sincerely, I was lost but now found
Been through ups and downs
Lord, you hearing me

Show me a sign, make it a sound, long as it's loud
I done seen shapes and forms, even weather some storms
Drawn in by the flesh, you know that life is a mess
I was saturated in sin, naturally giving in

Drowned in peer pressure, now I'm letting it register
Strength in knowing how to listen and not talk
Crawl before the walk, first lesson you taught
Save yourself worth, knowing the truth hurts

Systematically cursed cause they damned society
So we underrated, unappreciated, besides hated
Stamped and dated, I was morally frustrated
Seized the opportunity by making a choice

Speaking the truth, release the world using my voice
Being a sound mind, heart humbled in time
Follow the signs, distant to prosper
While this vessel hold me hostage

Poise, and posture, will make a character strong
Prolong the obvious, having knowledge of true guilt
Mind, heart, and soul, fact is official
The issue, you perish, you can't take it with you

Rented material, heeded was critical
Spiritually binded, mentally signing
For whatever thou request it, I breathe my last breath
Nevertheless, for what it's worth, no regrets

It's been a long time coming
I've been on my grind
It's been a long time coming
It's my time, it's my time

Now that being said, we can change our perspective
And power through diversity, even if they deem you and I unworthy
So I voice my word firmly, like being determined to make you aware
Fear not if scared

Our strength is a clear indication that patience is a safe solitude which we have endured
Granted, time waits for no man, but the cause is ensured
So stand, if not for the pure heart, then for what's left of our problem strict community
So miss me with the sense of negative violent activity

What's given to I, is a chance to speak to you, we, and them
So reevaluate yourself, be a beacon of positivity
Soak in what you don't know
Each one teach one, one step at a time

Speak what's spoken to, be seen not heard
Whatever your salvation may be, when your time expires
Believe you me, he'll know your desires were true
Like being a part of solution, knowing the problem group

But he's a just God, and you'll get your just dues
They may insinuate we lost, but we should never lose
