The Fierce Urgency of Now

Lyrics

Breez Evahflowin' ft. Shek the Rational - "The Fierce Urgency of Now" [Emcee(s): Breez Evahflowin' and Shek the Rational] [Producer(s): One.Six] [Verse 1: Breez Evahflowin'] Yo, from what I gather The way your ass saw it, you say I asked for it Here we are: four hundred years fast-forward Speaking to the past, updating my passport Seeking the least racist land on the map or Get shot with my hands on the dashboard Black catch shots like hands off the backboard "Kill them niggas" what he ran on his platform "Carry on, cops." That's right? Then that's wrong Brothers been known for singing sad songs of Past wrongs, but, in the present, we must be representing This is anything but benevolent. This is where The Devil is, the details ambiguous, speech Emotionally charged, intellectually weak United never was, and, now, divided we seek. It runs Deep—still, brothers pray for Donald impeached And the gays pray, and the Muslims pray And the Jews, they pray. And the Asians pray And the Latins pray, and on more than one Singular occasion, occasions pray, yo [Verse 2: Shek the Rational] I'm gathering the images, gathering reality This selfie, double-tap obsession with the flattery The tapestry woven, this society is actually Hindering progression while we're caught up in the fallacies The lack of peace enclose the heart when the pastor preach Climbing in the spirit realm is what I have to reach It's sad to see when ratchet beasts become the majesty In the Kingdom of Eternal Hell, where they snatch our seeds Stunting their growth daily. I'm mortified By the words and actions of the alt-right with the .45 We've been torn aside while the fox is more than sly It's all fake news—the mainstream do more than lie Take you for the ride, [?] Lord of Flies 'Cause he was bound like it's done when the hog is tied We're tired of these hard goodbyes, mama screaming Horrified, so we got to keep the block fortified The Christians pray, and the indigenous pray "And the sinners, we pray." That's what abuela would say. And the Santeros, they pray. Conservatives and liberals Pray on each and all of us every day
