Lyrics
Society's pulse of
Heartless beatings in Tulsa
Murder compulsions
Over one black man
Alleged rapist
No proof but the papers
And a couple white faces
Convinced to let hatred get the better part of their beings
Three hundred dead eight hundred injured
Yet a quick glance around I can't find any winners
Never seeing how malice creates generations of broke weaklings
Fear and anxiety
Fear of unfamiliar faces
Let's be honest many issues are case by cases
The untied laces create trips in our psyches
Hard hearts hit the foundation harder than Nikes
Like these truths are self evident, but I know
I'm just another ignorant White kid
Implicitly racist
Hateful and naked
Before the world claiming fakeness
One body, one might, one story, one fight
We ain't Gods, seen him make the dawn, fightin with the night, break it down, understanding of his mind and how he writes
One body, one might, one story, one fight
Being one in the Spirit, one accord, we persevering, bringing life into spaces people dying hearts fearing
Well maybe history needs a makeover or just another resurfacing
Keep purging clean
Silencing the voices, in my head, on the street, in the ether
Yet I keep screaming, silently and I know you hear me
You can see it in my breathing
Tapping of my feet keeping steady rhythms of the anxious
Thank this cold climate of the godless, thoughtless automatic garbage, Pandora's box of a harlot
Internet with the infinite market
Every language, advantage, every ailment has a bandage
But what about the healing
Where's our cry for peeling, back each of the layers
Redlining other colors, no loans for the others
What happened to us brothers
Have we ever known Jesus
All are one in Christ nothing else can complete us
Change all ya cries into joy and repeat this
One body, one might, one story, one fight
We ain't Gods, seen him make the dawn, fightin with the night, break it down, understanding of his mind and how he writes
One body, one might, one story, one fight
Being one in the Spirit, one accord, we persevering, bringing life into spaces people dying hearts fearing
Oh Elaine
Where collusion was the catalyst
Bringing death to the activists for supposed insurrection
An infection in the minds of the people who were blind to the evils deep inside
Bitterness, hatred, malice, and strife
Woe to the cowards wielding power through the bloody knife
Innocent men only aggressive when provoked
Self-protection kickin in, while the conscience steady choked
But what could they do, take the fire unto death
Every breath mattered as they communally collected
Walkin step by step right into their sentencing
Corrupt courts judging by the tensions in
Society's apprehensions with
People of color who found success in distress
White people need to own up and break the walls of generations
Curses that penetrated our children and what they participating in
One body, one might, one story, one fight
We ain't Gods, seen him make the dawn, fightin with the night, break it down, understanding of his mind and how he writes
One body, one might, one story, one fight
Being one in the Spirit, one accord, we persevering, bringing life into spaces people dying hearts fearing
Hear me you true people of God
Hear the cries of your fellow brothers begging for your understanding
Those seeking unity
We're no longer strangers to one another
We are one in Christ
Pray ask God to heal your hearts of fear
and every emotion that accompanies your terrified souls
Let us serve one another as the body of Christ
