What A Time To Be Alive Lyrics - Artist : DeVaughn, Raheem
What a time to be alive
If I haven't before understood that time is relative Well I understand it now Understand that less profound and now is all that exist We no longer recognize one another need different masks No longer feel threatened by a couple faces even if it's black And yes, I remember a time before this Before Covid 19 and living 24/7 I remember complacency shrouded enormously And ignorance to bliss one six I was black before And not it appears that everyone sees me Before, prayers had me on my knees We're all seeing the darkness We been seen through, [?] to chalk outlines Seemingly born laying down But I've always stood and love transparency Always been the magic in black Always the knight that bring the stars Always the breath in life's slums Living life while I'm alive Now look at where we are We're alive just tryna live Tryna do it more time and give it one more chance Born into fear and dying by the hands of someone on their phone or in their privilege 'Cause I walk the rain, stood I took a stand And If I haven't understood before that these lessons hold with them gifts As hard as it is to comprehend hate And maybe hard to understand this, but we must give Give ourselves a break Give to your life Give to you and yours Love is something they can't take Being in love is transparency We can't take this pain with us All we have is love And it ain't one or other cheek Meek ain't never met weak What a time to be in love For beyond this life and certainly beyond time, love Love is what will save us from it all And it's love that will deliver us to ourselves To ourselves To ourselves |
