Hard Time

Hard time

It's a hard time that we're living in today.
I and I cry out for justice but they don't hear what I say.
It's such a hard time that we're living in today.
I and I cry out for peace but they don't hear what I say.
No, no you don't hear what I say now.
Whoa no no no.

The world is divided by race and religion.
Seems so hard to overcome deep seeded division.
Peace is never the answer, there's only war and violence.
How much longer shall we stand aside to suffer in silence?

It's a hard time that we're living in today.
I and I cry out for peace but they don't hear what I say.
It's such a hard time that we're living in today.
I and I cry out for justice but they don't hear what I say.
No no, whoa no no no!

I meditate just to keep my head straight,
clear my mind tabula rasa clean slate.
Those who can make some thing from nothing have the power to create,
so why don't we keep it real and originate.
Don't hate, help all to elevate.
Never trust the institutions of church and state because
I and I know wicked Babylon's fate,
Fire burn all your doctrines of hate.
I and I know wicked Babylon's fate,
Brimstone crush the walls that separate.
Lightning crash, thunder roar, there will be no peace only war.
'Til there's justice and equality never forget the words of Marcus Garvey.
"Until all of us are free none of us are free.
Until all of us are fed all of us are hungry."
So we hunger to see the unification of one human family,
rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion
to be pursued but never attained.

It's a hard time that we're living in today.
I and I cry out for justice but they don't hear what I say.
It's such a hard time that we're living in today.
I and I cry out for peace but they don't hear what I say.
No no, you don't hear what I say now, you don't hear what I say now,
whoa no no no.
