Verse 1:

God tell me, what the fuck is killing us ?
Taking the little bit of hope that we have still in us
N***as rapping women our faith is leaving us
All these Kidnappings, Xenophobic attacks they be teaching us
How we hate our own people, saying the white men is the enemy but we kill our own sequels
I wish I had just flown out before it all fickle when I had the chance
But I never did, I would never escape all the trauma it has, put on my brain
It’s only so much we can take until we break, we need you now
If you’re reading really there help us out of this ugly situation
This ain’t no rainbow nation we’re just trying so hard to paint it as one
Look at the country like, all it reflects is lack of unity and some heavy grief
Why can’t there be peace between you and me ?
All this evil ain’t doing nothing but just ruining we
Violence is never the answer, we’re just fooling we

[Chorus: Lucy Rose]

This is our time
Still I'm looking back, let me rewind
This is our ride
Don't let me lose my faith, let me rewind

Verse 2:

I’m sure I’m not only speaking for myself when I say I’m tired
Is this how we supposed to be wired - all sad ?
Who do we turn to for help as we all drown
All of these killings and the feelings got me feeling down
Our role models got skeletons falling out like some baby teeth
It falls on us and it’s some heavy shit
Sucking off our blood and it got our hearts empty filled
Got freed back in ‘94 but we’re slaves, we’re all slaving still
We can point fingers all day but we’re all to blame
How we pray for the sun but be the ones causing the rain
How we complain about the heat but be the ones fueling the flame

Verse 3:

(Check)
How we pray for the sun but be the ones causing the rain
How we complain about the heat but be the ones fueling the flame
Sometimes we gotta fight fire with fire- which ain’t a good exchange, especially when we’re all burning
A direction that we’re wrongly turning, and I don’t know it all
I’m just blessed with a gift to analyze it, and show it all
Without no screen, I ain’t even close my eyes without having victims scream no more
On top of that, I got my own personal problems
I’m just here reporting I ain’t saying I’m faultless
And I ain’t no fortress just like everyone around me isn’t
I’m just saying we can do better especially as men
Let’s stop mistreating our women rather do good by them
A Queen is superior deserving of respect, not just cause the shit we buy them
They gotta stand out, adored but now we be having to hide them (Lord!)
Verse 4:

It feel like we just got into an everlasting thunderstorm
Why little girls getting molested by they own fathers for ?
Why they chasing out their own brothers for ?
If you really love her why you beating your own lover for ?
These questions can never end, the damage is already done it’s like - we’re forever burnt
It’s so hard to be believe this is what we became here
Nobody is sacred, we all running from the same fear
(Damn!)

[Chorus: Lucy Rose]

This is our time
Still I'm looking back, let me rewind
This is our ride
Don't let me lose my faith, let me rewind
