Sign Of The Times Lyrics

10:24

Undercover's at the front door

A minuite later

The violators cuffed

Face on the floor

And it was Fingers

Little Chico ratted

And said he had it

The murder weapon

An how he blasted

That other black kid

The cops grabbed it

Bagged and tagged it

Black on Blacks like a magnet

And tragic

And Life

Automatic

To picture the graphic

That's what the judge gave

He gonna die

A slave

In a cage

Open your eyes

Young child of mine

Cuz it's a sign of the time

When you see the blind leading the blind

Open your eyes

Life's so divine

But it's a sign of the Time

When my brotha tryna take mine

Yo

So tell me

Whatchu really think is going on here

Cuz every day of every year

Niggaz

Dissapear

Shots cut the air

Innocent victims lacerated

Sentence debated

But can't change it

Regardless of the statement

And that Life

You can't replace it

Not with restitution

Conversion to religion

Or even prison

If it's given

What kind of world is this we living in

Raising our children in

We gotta build wit em'

Cuz these mean streets is filled wit em'

And so is the system

Feelin' like god dissed em'

But he is them

Knowledge my wisdom

He is them

And I think you should know

Cuz the more you know

The more that you can grow

Open your eyes

Young child of mine

Cuz it's a sign of the time

When you see the blind leading the blind

Open your eyes

Life's so divine

But it's a sign of the Time

When my brotha tryna take mine

What happened to your vision

And your insight

Lost your stripes

Fell off the plight of life

That's why we kings but living like mice

And we still can't get it right

Fight each other for spite

Divide and conquer the light

Love the drama and hype

But still

It ain't getting us no further

With genocide and murder

From Alberta

To Parkdale

This trend don't fail

We hate the face in the mirror

Is this picture getting clearer

Cuz it's real B

This ain't TV

You feeling me

It's detrimental for your mental

So I build at will

Wit pen or pencil

Draw it up black

It's right and exact

Like stencil

Accapella

Instrumental

We all special

And precious

So let's just

Honour the life cycle and

Get your site again

Stop trifling

Put down the rifle King

The devil's stuntin' our growth

An we tryna cut each others throats

Young child of mine

Open your eyes

Young child of mine

Cuz it's a sign of the time

When you see the blind leading the blind

Open your eyes

Life's so divine

But it's a sign of the Times

When my brotha tryna take mine
