Texty

[Intro]

(It's the R-A-P-S-O-D-Y) Yo

[Verse 1]

History say don't repeat her

Many years a slave, took notes from Lupita (Yeah)

You should marvel at the fightin' (Talk), feel like Anita (Talk)

Apologize, you denied my people

Made our death legal (C'mon), we all paralegal (Uh)

Gotta defend ourselves when the laws ain't equal (Yeah)

Cops aim lethal (Baow), death in cathedrals (Uh)

Bang-bang boogie, you could die wearin' a hoodie, blaow (Yeah, uh)

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

You say you're sick and tired of us protesting

I say, "Not tired enough to make a change"

You say, "Just you hold 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 that 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"

[Chorus]

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

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

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 4]

You say, "Those innocent lives should've not been taken"

And I say, "For them is why we take a knee"

You say, "Is that the right play?"

I say, "First Amendment everyday 'cause we can't put it in the hands of fate"

[Chorus]

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, 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

[Bridge]

In the not-so-distant tomorrow (Yeah)

Robins will sing your lullaby (Woah)

But I've seen too many of our generations

Live and die for that pie in the sky

[Verse 5]

Yeah, we went from fields into a field

Bodies hittin' the ground, and so we gotta take a kneel

Mothers missin', kid's attorneys say they oughta take a deal

They determine that the price of life is just a couple mill'

And bricks are meant to build, and fire's 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 (Yeah)

[Verse 6]

Look, said 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

Everything about us still live by the principle

Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait

[Verse 7]

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"

[Chorus]

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, 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

Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait

No, 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

A-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...
