Set My Sails

(album: DayBreak - 2020)

Oh, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh

Well, well, well
I'm 'bout to set my sail (Sail)
Find me on the water (Yeah)
Or gone with the wind (I'm gone)

Something just ain't right (right)
I see the falling lights (I do)
I don't know
But I ain't never coming back again (Yeah)

Well, well, well
I'm 'bout to set my sail (Sail)
Find me on the water (Yeah)
Or gone with the wind (I'm gone)

Something just ain't right (right)
I see the falling lights (I do)
I don't know
But I ain't never coming back again (Yeah)

Ain't tryna argue with 'em (I'm not)
They talking Marxism (Stop)
Critical race theory
Yeah, yeah, I'm getting weary (Say they names)

But a man died (George Floyd)
Did that move you? (Breonna Taylor)
And all the church could do
Was debate news

There's gotta be more
The people that's suppose to be light on the hill (For real)
We just sit back and chill (For real?)
We get on our Twitter and say how we feel

Pushing the propaganda of a tyrant
Look at them people protesting, they violent
Popular preachers, they seem to go silent
That's why I noticed we stuck on the island

We suppose to be an embassy (Embassy)
Heaven on earth, a remedy
Fighting the white supremacy
Serving our neighbor with empathy

Now that I know what I know (I know)
I can't stay right here no more (No more)
Feel like you're caught in the church, on a boat
Sayonara to the shore (Oh)

Well, well, well
I'm 'bout to set my sail (Sail)
Find me on the water (Yeah)
Or gone with the wind (I'm gone)

Something just ain't right (Right)
I see the falling lights (I do)
I don't know
But I ain't never coming back again (Yeah)

Well, well, well
I'm 'bout to set my sail (Sail)
Find me on the water (Yeah)
Or gone with the wind (I'm gone)

Something just ain't right (Right)
I see the falling lights (I do)
I don't know
But I ain't never coming back again (Yeah)

I started connecting the dots (Dots)
Finding out who is the ops (Ops)
Preaching American Christianity
As if it was biblical, stop (Stop)

Is 2020 like a test? (Correct)
Am I being finessed (Yes)
By institutional Christianity?
They really nationalists

So what does it mean to be Christian, huh?
Just focus on personal piety? (Right)
Get my theology right
And ignore these injustice in a society? (That's right)

They call it the social gospel
When you speak out on police brutality (That's right)
But in reality, it's a political agenda
They pushing mentality (That's right)

I'm setting my sail, leaving the island
I feeling like I am myself (I'm not)
I'm feeling like Bonhoeffer
Mr. Cornel or Ida B. Wells (Yeah)

If our good works glorify (They do)
Our God in Heaven lift them high (True)
The true church will arise (They will)
While the institution of them dies

Well, well, well
I'm 'bout to set my sail (Sail)
Find me on the water (Yeah)
Or gone with the wind (I'm gone)

Something just ain't right (Right)
I see the falling lights (I do)
I don't know
But I ain't never coming back again (Yeah)

Well, well, well
I'm 'bout to set my sail (Sail)
Find me on the water (Yeah)
Or gone with the wind (I'm gone)

Something just ain't right (Right)
I see the falling lights (I do)
I don't know
But I ain't never coming back again (Yeah)

Oh, oh, bye, bye, bye
Oh, oh, well, well, well
Well, oh yeah
Bye, by
