I stand upon the past in the present/ the future I can't see, the past I can't edit// Something tells me, I've been where I'm headed/ Is this Deja vu? Is the promise land predestined?// I don't know, But I know I need directions/ I'm beyond the point of my family's discretion//
where's all the guides to deal with the oppression/ not just manage I mean kill the oppression// I'm a son of the Civil Rights progression/ when I talk justice/ white leaders feel threatened/ somethings is lost in Translation settings
/ baby boomers forgot to pass down kings weapons//
I'm in uncharted lands, new imagery/ the burden is old, its the same new energy// We marched for Floyd & felt new symmetry/ Timeline is a mystery/ This is New History

Hook:
You can trace back everything we're into,
It's like time's filling in a stencil,
Different coat of paint, same engine,
I think a dead man's knocking at my window
They say there's - nothing new under the Sun
So I look to the source - for wholeness I run,
For you know all things - What was and what comes,
cs I stand I'll trust - your will will be done.
Verse 2
I stand upon the past in the present/ the future I can't change, the past I cant edit//
if tomorrow is a credit/ the pandemic is a debit/ we can't save our selves from ourselves its pathetic//
From the election to the Vaccine/ Some friends turn to strangers what does facts mean// im in the twilight zone/ I stand between/ Different Worlds the hyper liberals and the Klan machine// they want me to pledge allegiance to man's king/ but I'm a dual citizen the son of man's theme//is my permanent soundtrack/ the only way I know how to stand firm and bounce back// life's complex no simple remedies/ when I'm gone some might not remember me// I remixed the path that was given to me/ I pray my trail elevates their New History//

Verse 3
I stand upon the past in the present/ the future is in range/ the past I can't edit//
I wrote this jogging through the graveyard/ between the dashes of time, life is my day job
I see prophets as Gods economist/ that can't remain anonymous/ about how the dollars spent//root of evil has a paper trail to common myths/ racist gatekeepers bias that where knowledge get//
Pious scholarships/ white dominance/ try to quote the Dream speech like its common sense// hate when they Use Martins name for prominence/ but just yesterday they called Dr King a communist//
Now Today, CRTs the new enemy/ witch hunt my rhymes like I practice new wizardry/ Im waiting for you to stand up to white supremacy/ but it a cost you to buy a new history
