It's time to see us in a better place 
Never knew an easy way
I'm not a follower 
I choose to lead my own fate
All this conversation about change I feel impatient
So immersed in all the sorrow 
We may settle on tomorrow 
Wake Up 
It's time to see us in a better place 
Never knew an easy way
I'm not a follower 
I choose to lead my own fate
All this conversation about change I feel impatient
So immersed in all the sorrow 
We may settle on tomorrow 
Wake Up 
 
Just yesterday I spoke to chatter about 
Why Black Lives Matter 
Around the table with executives on health business
You here with us so what's the fuss I mean 
Those days are gone 
Don't get me wrong 
Why you keep holding on
I nearly choked 
So surreal I'm Emmett Till
Gather my thoughts suppressing feels 
Calm expression cause the stress kills
Self-awareness is my power as I keep it real 
It's the open wound most will never seek to heal 
I don't profess I just confess 
This my personal guild
Until my color don't matter 
You can't express on what I feel
Past years we've seen what Black Americans ordeal
Names change but the circumstances still the same 
Whether it's Martin Brown Arbery or Floyd 
It paints a view on being American to black men and boys
Try to speak in positive ways to my son but I'm annoyed
Can't let him see me overcome 
Revert in ways and self destroy 
Hold up

It's time to see us in a better place 
Never knew an easy way
I'm not a follower 
I choose to lead my own fate
All this conversation about change I feel impatient
So immersed in all the sorrow 
We may settle on tomorrow 
Wake Up 
It's time to see us in a better place 
Never knew an easy way
I'm not a follower 
I choose to lead my own fate
All this conversation about change I feel impatient
So immersed in all the sorrow 
We may settle on tomorrow 
Wake Up
 
Despite politics we all believe in basic humanity
We can agree on civil shit 
It's the structures you can't see
That's privilege 
Ability to walk with immunity
Never have concern on how your children live and learn 
Bust my ass over the years blazed a path for me to burn 
Always knew that money talks in better circles more you earn 
Kept it quiet on the low accumulated skills to grow 
Some how some day I told myself my purpose will show
No looking back but won't forget I'm not a hypocrite
When I was young did shit was dumb
I was a ticking time bomb 
Picked up a hustle from the streets most people run from
By sixteen I'm a martyr acquitted murder from an argue 
A stereotype come to life from what I see
That's what I be 
Can't escape what's all around me 
Learn to swim before it drown me 
Couple OGs looked and found me
Saw the make of something greater
Took some time to walk thru life 
Cause all the structures made up

It's time to see us in a better place 
Never knew an easy way
I'm not a follower 
I choose to lead my own fate
All this conversation about change I feel impatient
So immersed in all the sorrow 
We may settle on tomorrow 
Wake Up 
It's time to see us in a better place 
Never knew an easy way
I'm not a follower 
I choose to lead my own fate
All this conversation about change I feel impatient
So immersed in all the sorrow 
We may settle on tomorrow 
Wake Up

Until its peace who gone sleep
People die in these streets
Everyday if not week
Pour my liquor fore I speak 
So they spirits sip with me
Know my team get me
If I can't express when it hit me why this gift with me
So much is spoken yet unheard 
I contemplate what it deserves 
Choice of words too important for expose nerves
Black lives matter 
We can agree on nouns and verbs 
Matter fact lets start with that 
Change amendments first
Then watch how structures fall
It's the mental one's that shackle us all
Oppressed oppressors we all searching justice
Got concerns on what you loose
I got concerns on right to choose
I still tie my laces like you tie your shoes
I appreciate you listening
But its time to move
With new rules and better tools to educate them fools
I know its hard to play with change when you create the games
That's like a winner saying I know it hurts
Don't lose again
Really

It's time to see us in a better place 
Never knew an easy way
I'm not a follower 
I choose to lead my own fate
All this conversation about change I feel impatient
So immersed in all the sorrow 
We may settle on tomorrow 
Wake Up 
It's time to see us in a better place 
Never knew an easy way
I'm not a follower 
I choose to lead my own fate
All this conversation about change I feel impatient
So immersed in all the sorrow 
We may settle on tomorrow
