A Little While In (Lyrics)
A couple cats have asked me to post lyrics to different joints along this journey so (finally) listening to the masses in 2016 – here’s a little something for you to listen to/read – Peace.
A LITTLE WHILE IN (by Visual Poetics)
In a little while…
There’ll be another gun tragedy
Cops’ll roll up on scene with everything but the cavalry
Later, a new President consoles grieving families
While the NRA kicks back and pleads insanity
Sounds crazy right? But that’s the new reality
People starving for action and we keep feeding em’ anarchy
(Go on and come after me)
In A Little While…
There’ll be rioters in the streets filled with unhappy civilians
Cause their holy men are so obsessed with talkin’ – they cannot listen
Right up to the point when you catch em slippin’
How many committed crimes that should land em in prison?
How many died cause their beliefs didn’t match the mission?
And its the same for Muslims, Jews, Catholic and Christians
But that’s a game that’s probably best left to the statisticians
I believe in a most high – guess I’m just anti-religion
Something sinister when ministers are living like rockstars
Padding their pockets for years and You still ain’t got far
That’s whether you hold rosary beads or you Allah-U-Akbar
In Roman cathedrals or the place where the mosques are
Flashing lights – go from cameras to squad cars
When the masses start turning and flipping off the top bar
No more running thru the forest blind
And that kind of thing’ll get you stuck like a porcupine
Nine to Fivers – going hard on that four-quarter grind
As their IRA shrinks like the California waterline
Where do we draw the line? Need to rethink your focus kid
Yall need to protest out where the shady loaners live
Capsizing the dream of home ownership
While the middle class gets caught out there like homelessness
And the crooks make off with seven figure bonuses
Call it out for bogusness and what, now I’m a Socialist?
(but I’ve been called worse – and I will again, in a little while)
I can’t speak any clearer…
That dude the cops shot looks like the one I used to see in the mirror
Another me reduced to a moment of silence
Another child singled out for their cultural alliance
The media spreads hate and fear like a cold or a virus
Politicians – claim ignorance of the notion of science
While pro-lifers condone the electric chair – Texas to Delaware –
Like no one’s ever been arrested unfair
Same ones screaming justice for everywhere
Won’t lift a finger to support universal medical care
Yall better prepare…
(Cause in a Little While – We Will Wake Up)
In a Little While…
We’ll forget about all the sadness and the loss
When my daughter comes in – asking me to feed her some applesauce
Later, we’ll hit the beach like David Hasslehoff
We’re going to turn these lights and these cameras off
Eventually, when the shouting stops and the fans don’t come around a lot
When the essence calls – saying its time to bounce from this spot
Either by natural causes or a thousand shots
I just hope I’m ready to meet my grandparents at the mountaintop
I’m getting all emotional now…
But feel more sorry for those of us that don’t know how
Been goin’ for a while, but hold on child
Still crossing oceans now with this old man style
If you’re progressive – you’re more than free to rock with me
But know this big homie – I don’t believe in mediocrity
I do believe its only we that’s stopping we
And my philosophy game could probably compete with Socrates
I’ll hear something soon to bring me back to Earth again
And I’ll just reup – start all over like First and Ten
And on that note, my Cleveland Browns will be superb again
What?…You heard me right – I said it
Flows kinetic – need no revision and no edits
If I put something on a track, then I probably don’t regret it
So go ahead and roll the credits…
Cause in a Little While – Its all gon’ be copacetic
