Ode Broham - Dire Times (Together, We In)

Okay
Okay
Okay
Okay okay okay okay okay Oh
Okay
Okay
Okay
Okay okay okay okay okay
The sky is falling
The reaper calling
No time for stalling
Tell me, baby are you all in?
I been hauling out to all of the gatherings
Hope you follow the pattern and
Maybe catch me cus I’m falling off balance
It’s like the silence of the lambs
Our silence is their jam
They’re slaughtering
Us niggas picking cotton again
Few of us plotting the end
Farrakhan arguments
Start to pop up and to trend
Then we drop out of the frenzy
Niggas want a Benzy
Niggas wanna live like white folk
Envy
Please don’t tempt me
Police choke the life outta niggas
And our women start petitions
And get to kicking all the dust off of these politicians
And we hardly listen
Their problems, we call it bitchin
We fall out over small bouts
Draw crowds, bickering
I’m thinking when it’s finally time to return the favor
Our ladies do deserve our labor
So fellas tell um yeah, we in
Dire times
But you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
Yeah, we in
Dire times
But you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
Yeah, we in (We in)
Dire times
But you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
Yeah, we in (We in)
Dire times
Dire times
Oh yeah yeah
I might name my kids after all our fallen soldiers
Just so they can get a do-over
To see liberation, we so close to
I’m impatient
Would I take it
If others couldn’t have nathan?
A rat that’s racing
In fact it’s chasing
After the cheese
Pattering feet
The American Dream
What a nightmare
I fear
Niggas don’t like their selves
So much they’ll hate somebody else
Just for loving themselves
And having the courage to love someone else
Who looks like themself
I feel like it’s been prolonged
For so long
Of niggas acting so strong
That they can’t even hold on to nigga
And I don’t just mean men in those sentences
Not just those of us with extra appendages
But when it comes to putting their own bodies on the front lines
The LGBTQ community done it for us EVERY ONE TIME
Let um know, yeah, we in
Dire times
But you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
Yeah, we in
Dire times
But you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
Yeah, we in (We in)
Dire times
But you’re not out of sight nor out of mind
Yeah, we in (We in)
Dire times
Dire times
Oh yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
None of us are free until we are all free
