It's frustratin' when you just can't express yourself
And it's hard to trust enough to undress yourself
To stand exposed and naked, in a world full of hatred
Where the sick thoughts of mankind control all the sacred

I pause, take a step back, record all the setbacks
Fast forward towards the stars and the jetpack
My feet might fail me, my heart might ail me
The synagogues of satan might accuse or jail me

Strip, crown, nail me, brimstone hail me
They might defeat the flesh but they could never ever kill me
They might can feel the music but could never ever feel me
To the lawyers, to the sheriffs, to the judges
To the debt holders and the law makers

Fuck you, sue me, bill me
That name on that birth certificate, that ain't the real me
The lies can't conceal me
The Sun rise and the Moon tides and the sky's gonna reveal me
My brain pours water out my tear ducts to heal me
My lord's too beneficent

The message grab a hold to every ear it get whispered in
The waters in the bayous of new orleans still listenin'
The universe is listenin', be careful what you say in it
My grandma told me every bed a nigga make, he lay in it
The church you go to pray in it, the work is on the outside
Staring out the windows is for love songs and house flies

I've got somethin' to say
I, I've got somethin' to say
Yesterday, yesterday is gone
Tomorrow, tomorrow is on the way
You don't have time to waste

Gotta get it right
Yesterday, yesterday is gone
Tomorrow, tomorrow is on the way
You don't have time to waste

Gotta get it right
Yesterday, yesterday is gone
Tomorrow, tomorrow is on the way
You don't have time to waste
Gotta get it right
