Love + Discernment ft. Ra Washington Lyrics

Did love guide the hand that penned the plan you plan to follow

See, I was fortunate to be raised in a loving household

So I know what love look like, I know what it feels like

Did love guide the hand that penned the plan you plan to follow

And so, knowing that love

Having received that

I try my best to let it guide me

I try to just trust my instincts

Not overthink things

Did love guide the hand that penned the plan you plan to follow

I try to spend as much time as I can

Doing things that I love

Being around things that I love and

I love birds

They're so magical

There's a beauty in their wings and their songs

Did love guide the hand that penned the plan you plan to follow

Still, there's something sinister about this world

Seemingly by design

That seeks to suck the love and the light out of you

Until you feel...

Hollow

Did love guide the hand that penned the plan you plan to follow

Something sick that

Demands the compartmentalization of all your pain and sadness

for its own continued existence.

Did love guide the hand that penned the plan you plan to follow

So when I feel this deep burning anger

This shame

This disgust

This disappointment

This resentment

I know that ain't me

I know that it's the external factors

I know it's 'cause of the legislation

Because of the discrimination

Because of that bull shit that y'all try to pass and call it love

Indolence is a protest

I take my time with my projects

And free myself from the onus

Indolence is a protest

I take my time with my projects

I free myself from the onus of phony that hinders progress

Spirit of good intentions

Prerequisite for attention

They bankin' on apprehension

I'll trade a cure for prevention

Almost fell victim to my own naiveté

Slip up but I never fall

Might pause but I never stall

I almost tried to grind when I need space for grief today

Dust to dust will come for all of us

No need to greet it in a rush

The heaviness of life will crush

Anybody who think they tough

Might beat the fuck out republicans 'cause I love my people

Might beat the fuck out some democrats 'cause I love my people

Might beat the fuck out some fascists because I love my people

Reactionary is settling for lesser of two evils

Might beat the fuck out republicans 'cause I love my people

Might beat the fuck out some democrats 'cause I love my people

Might beat the fuck out some fascists because I love my people

Reactionary is settling for lesser of two evils

And that's it

Real shit

Real spit

Xenophobes

Homophobes

Transphobes

Misogynists

We rock ya shit

I heard ya pseudoscience

And I ain't buyin'

I seen your false binary

Nice try Larry

You ain't scary

I got love at the forefront

Coupled with discernment

That's the weapon

I might be gentle with my people 'cause I love my people

I might be gentle with my people 'cause I love my people

I might be gentle with my people 'cause I love my people

I might be gentle with my people 'cause I love my people

I might be gentle with my people 'cause I love my people
