Songtexte
An artist's duty, as far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times
I think that is true of painters, sculptors, poets, musicians
As far as I'm concerned, it's their choice
But I choose to reflect the times and situations in which I find myself
That, to me, is my duty
And at this crucial time in our lives
When everything is so desperate, when everyday is a matter of survival
I don't think you can help but be involved
Young people, black and white, know this, that's why they're so involved in politics
We will shape and mold this country or it will not be molded and shaped at all anymore
So I don't think you have a choice, how can you be an artist and not reflect the times
That to me is the definition of an artist
What am I seeing
What to believe in
Does no one hear me
Cause I am calling
My people crawling
Their bodies sprawling
What was their crime
White out the story
Don't say you're sorry
While we are mourning
Kick down our mothers
Shoot at our brothers
Then blame each other
What's one more life, one more life
Anything's justified
When you lie
When you lie
When you lie
Since everything's justified
Here we lie
Here she lies
Here he lies
No more time waiting
And demonstrating
To red and blue
What peace looks like
Ran out of patience
This your music, face it
Got me saying
What's one more life
Can't you see outside of the chalk outlines
Another day like the one before
How can you seize him when he's not breathing
But to the law, what's one more life
Anything's justified
When you lie
When you lie
When you lie
Since everything's justified
Here we lie
Here she lies
He he lies
