We Are All We Got

(album: Terraform: The People - 2021)

Let me tell you about this shorthand me and you use
It's how we decide if somebody is safe
There's talking points, that's how you know if they in the fence or outside the fence (Outside the fence, the fence)
Whether you safe or not, I suggest a re-do
'Cause like it or not, we are all we got (We are all we got, we got)
Hmm

'Cause when your constructs fail you, the ailment feels alien (Alien)
What is this air we in? (What is this air we in?)
How is this fair to kin? (How is this fair to kin?)
Uh, when you a shark being judged on how well you climb a tree
You might as well be a piece of kelp yelping at a blue whale
Helpless, toothless, tired with ruthless ire
I almost talked me out of my own desires
You try to tell 'em you different, made for magnificent
But those with lungs don't give the gills significance
Still standing stanza, circumference of your comfort
Wanna say that? Then, don't invite me to your conference
I'ma speak it to the people, defeating they conquistador
Telegraph [?] no moves, what these blinkers for
Great grand mammie, she [?] to teach you
Consider that an honor if she even stooped to speak to you
The least of you, you would be surprised what two feet could do
One mission execute, I don't know what we meeting for
Couple L's will could teach you more than any war or liquor store
And you don't need a penny more to mature
This is meant to disrupt othering
Look across the table in they eyes and see your own suffering
People are just people (People are just people)

If we are all we got, then all we got is this
And this is just it, then let's make the best of it
I suggest a re-do, all we do is see-through
War is beneath you
Which ain't finna sink in until we learn to scream "I need you"
I need you
I suggest a re-do, all we do is see-through
And when God finally speaks, I bet it'll be through, huh
People

Like it or not, we are all we got
We are all we got
