Let It Flow

VERSE 1
No use in tryin to break bread with politicians
When all you gettin is some crumbs and some dirty dishes
Not to mention the reality that war is splittin
Sane people from evil fundamental religion
MTV celebrities will show you how they livin
While families on the street aint got a pot to piss in
I know its all about choice, but if you pay attention,
If you ant got a dolla, wont nobody listen.
Your wrist must glisten
Teresa didn’t have a dime but she had a vision
Jesus didn’t do a crime but suffer crucifixion
Funny how peace keepers are always the victim,
Society’s affliction is. .
We put our dreams on the back burner
Just so we can eat and survive in this rat and murder infested terra firma I guess
Its time to reawaken our purpose, cuz its ready to surface

I just missed the train again
Goin be late to that 8 to 4
It starts to pour
Rhianna aint nowhere in sight (I aint got no umberella)
Then I see all the faces on the commuter train
And get this overwhelming feeling like this has to change.
I can see it in their eyes
And I say to my self

CHORUS
We need to stop trying and let it flow
And what of the pain?
(Need to) Stop crying and let it go
And I say to myself
I need to stop trying and let it flow
And what if the fear
I need to stop crying and let it go.

VERSE 2
Don’t wanna go to work today, wanna stay home with my kids
I aint even got no kids, maybe ill just call in sick
Gotta get my mind clear cuz right here my eyes tear
Thinking how I been there for 5 years (OH GOD)
Feel like its been light-years
Chasing all of my dreams while running from the nightmares
Its hard to succeed when fear switches your gears
But I got my hands tied and im so damn tired but I know!!!

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Its time to find yo peace inside
Cuz you not goin find it with that piece between yo thighs
And you not goin find it in a book filled with lies
Its time for you to realize you are a piece of God
So regardless of who you love and what’s between they thighs
Regardless of who you worship and who you deny
Respect that nobodies perfect in Love but we try
And understand that we are divine by design and there’s no such thing as time

LAST CHORUS (Acoustic version)
(We need to) stop trying and let it flow
And what of the pain?
Stop crying and jet it go
And I say to myself
I need to stop trying and let it flow
And what if the fear
I need to stop crying and let it go.
And what about the love
We need to stop trying and let it flow
And what of the fear
Stop crying and let it. . .go
