Right Now - Essence
Admit you love me
And so how am i ever to know
To the muslims
To the christians
To the citizens
I hope you listeninʼ
I feel the hate steady balancing this country
I just wanna debate and challenge whatʼs in front of me
But you tell me no and i should know better than
To against the grain test the brains at the other end
Today it is relevant bitter to the death
No forgiveness for the press
They made us witness religion so different from the rest
And different from the west
And living to accept
Is harder when your brought up tryna pick between the left
The right and the middle
What is right itʼs a riddle
A struggle within the puzzle
Our contrite is so little
So effortless your heaven is
A warzone to reverence
Poor lords forlorned
Wars short on evidence
A quarter for your penitence
A penny for ya thought
Hereʼs to visiting a history
So many have forgot
See them wearing a burqa
Like me rappinʼ in brooklyn
And if it ever happens
People
She isnʼt i i isnʼt she
They put us in these category categories
She isnʼt i i isnʼt she
They put us in these category categories
They say we ainʼt on the same page
Same class different race and the same age
But they say we ainʼt same heyyy
I need change right now i need change right now heyyy heyyy
They tell me how to think who to hate who to love
They tell me that weʼre the same and we relate just because
They share my race or have a status thatʼs above
And thatʼs where i wanna be but that space builds up
And
In the end i can see eye to eye with
A foreigner in shambles with nothing but her silence
Maybe we could wander maybe we could all go
Somewhere in rwanda somewhere in the congo
And thereʼs a situation jersey shore oughta follow
Questioning today prevents wars of tomorrow
A torrent of sorrow put it in your ipod
Zero ground for mosques they lookinʼ to the sky god
And would you mind god or are you blind god
If anybody asks say its ok with my god
Cause my god we are burning with hypocrisy
If war teaches peace then learning is a mockery
She isnʼt i i isnʼt she
They put us in these category categories
She isnʼt i i isnʼt she
They put us in these category categories
They say we ainʼt on the same page
Same class different race and the same age
But they say we ainʼt same heyyy
I need change right now i need change right now heyyy heyyy
Iʼm not siding with the liberals
Or siding with conservatives
But more people are dying deciding who deserves to live
Tell me whose earth this is
Spinning into turbulence
I worry who the fury will bury soon as the surface gives
And are you nervous kid
Iʼll tell you just what nervous is
Walking onto u s soil without your turban hid
This ainʼt a game yet we treat it like a tournament
Pick your home team and cheer amid the current rifts
But let me shift ʻcause trust me i support the vets
Anyone who dies for a right i support and yet
We must examine the panic within the portland press
And understand the disadvantage when we ignore a sect
Ion of our community usually we collect
As a whole and in unity beautifully now reflect
On a possibility that is near our grasp
Equality needs a future just to clear our path
She isnʼt i i isnʼt she

She isnʼt i i isnʼt she

I need change right now i need change right now heyyy heyyy
She isnʼt i i isnʼt she

She isnʼt i i isnʼt she

She isnʼt i i isnʼt she

She isnʼt i i isnʼt she
