The Miracle in a Sunbeam
In the Virgo Cluster in the Milky Way
3rd rock from a star where my people stay
they call us human, we call ourselves by our color
to eyes from above it seems we murder each other
so futuristic, why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic,
why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic,
why is peace love and happiness so futuristic
so futuristic
I'm hoping we could fix it
Adam and Eve sitting in the garden of Eden
God said do what you wish cept for that Apple don't eat it
You got all of this here
I swear to me you don't need it
If you do we'll write a book and make your descendants read it
But I created you wired you to know you'd always want more
Because after all that's what the concept of heaven for
Y'all don't wanna die, gotta have that alternate ending
It's something to look to when you know you ain't been living
When you hate what you're given
But never worked to have more
It's easy to trick yourself into thinking there's more,
But earth could be heaven
And you could be god
It's true that you could be the artist paint the life that you want
Earths a beautiful canvas
A miracle to behold
Long as you don't get caught up in all the green and the gold
You wait for miracles straight out the book of letters and Psalms
Maybe the fact we're even here's the biggest miracle of all
Perfectly distanced from the sun to have light but not burn up
A moon to guide the tide and give us light till the sun up
Planets on the outer rim to block the cosmic debri
A speck of dust in a sun beam is really all that we be
Think about that when we talk about the concept of peace
Our fighting and ignorance keeps us far from the key
Over who's gods better, who's really reppin the truth
Burning down houses for who lives over the roof
In the Virgo Cluster in the Milky Way
3rd rock from a star where my people stay
they call us human, we call ourselves by our color
to eyes from above it seems we murder each other
so futuristic, why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic,
why is peace, love, and happiness so futuristic,
why is peace love and happiness so futuristic
so futuristic
I'm hoping we could fix it
In the USA
Home of the free and the brave
That's what we were promised but I don't see that today
Screaming I can't breathe cause we all drowning in lies
The Garner tragedy saw that with our own eye
Screaming film the police and still the system is fucked,
The people are over it everyones had enough
And I've had enough of artists not speaking up
This a serious problem it ain't an issue to duck
Fuck what color I am speak on it because I'm human
Throw the police the power and then we watch em abuse it
We saw the shady ways of the CIA
Grand jury prosecutors treating cop cases the same
When someone dies by another take it to trial no questions asked
Cause it seems when you work with each other you'll get a pass
My thoughts go out to every family whos ever been effected
Middle fingers go to every cop who's ever benefitted!
I know racism is alive
I see the fire in the people's eyes
I hear the screams of a mothers cries
Let the power stand down let the people rise
I know racism is alive
I see the fire in the people's eyes
I hear the screams of a mothers cries
Let the power stand down let the people rise
Only then can we equalize
When we start to look through equal eyes
Only then will we equalize
Until then we're all living equal lies.
End
