lyrics

Every now and then I hear someone say

That we are living in a simulation

That the world is made up an infinite of computer code

Of ones and zeros

I don't know if this is true or not

But I do know that if it's true

The system needs a reboot

We need to clean out our universal cache of sorts

And every now and then, change the password



We've come a long way from being sheep

And taking the words of evil men as gospel

He taught us when we die

That's when we get to go to heaven

But I kinda want my heaven now



Now I don't claim to be a religious man

You won't find me on Sunday mornings

Sitting up in some ole church

Worshipping a picture of what they would have us to believe

The son..

I think by now us conscious people knows better than that



But I do believe in a source

A father

A God

And I do believe in love

I believe that in the end

It's the only thing that we bring into the world

And get to take out of this world

Sometimes with much more abundance



Now I don't know if some of you have noticed

But there's something going on in the world today

A force has taken the government by storm

By claiming war on it's people

And this time

Its evil does not discriminate

They're hurting

White folks, black folks

And dare I say it our very souls

Are at stake

The question is

Not how we got to this point

We all know how we got to this point

The real question is how do we get through it

I believe we can't march our way to justice

We cannot scream or protest our way to change

But as our brother Malcolm once said

We have to evoke change by any means necessary
