    These Are The Times

    These lyrics are from a Audio piece I recorded about a year ago...I'll try an have the soundclick up as soon as I can...


    These Are The Times
    Written By: ELEETE

    I hear prophecies discretly being spoken of evil omens...
    Disasters creep in motion, tsunami's from seas an oceans...
    We seekin' potions for viruses that've leaked an opened...
    Armaggedon's revenge to make the earth bleed emotion...
    Katrina marked the planet when she walked the granite...
    Louisiana struggles to survive now, starved an famined...
    Already scarred an damaged, Rita came armed an ravaged...
    Hope had vanished, in the mind of those God inhabits...
    While all this happens, explanations an reasons are boiled...
    Wars fought in deserts, overseas we lightin' turmoil...
    Strikin the soil, while Soldiers not knowin they fightin' for oil...
    To heighten the spoils of the man, believin' their dyin is loyal...
    People seem brainless, lost in this Matrix seems aimless...
    Lost ina search for what the definition of pain is...
    Face it, nowadays the sight o' dyin seems painless...
    Soon life's stages, will reach the end of its changes...
    Whats strange is, the world is digging its own grave...
    Countries inform hate, knowin they riggin' they own fate...
    So we see destruction in forms of storms an earthquakes...
    The question comes to mind, how much more can we all take?...


    An it makes me sick, to see what the media depicts...
    To society were still just chinks, niggers an spics...
    A degrated figure I sit, man i'm so sick of this shit...
    Now the pen is lifted, im gifted, twisted, an pissed...
    Im ready for this, to reveal all the hatred I feel...
    It wont change regardless the life i've made an i've built...
    If racism was physical, then i'd take it rape an I'd kill...
    Take its body an leave it lifeless slain in a field...
    A man shot one day in the street, the next he lies in a coffin...
    If colored he is forgotten, you see it happens so often...
    No one cares that we lost him, no one cares he would talk when...
    He was just boy, bout' growin' up to live an be prosperous...
    The more things change the more they stay the same...
    No one takes the blame for shit, so our lives remain a game...
    It drives my brain insane, feels like inside I live in vain...
    Will I pass away? Or will my name forever remain a stain...


    Within an hour, they easily crumbled the towers...
    While he sat dumbfounded, they stumbled the coward...
    Millions watched as he foolishly fumbled his power...
    As people jumped outta windows with the rubble that showered...
    Situations turned sour, so we decided to strike back...
    An like that, we swiftly invaded Iraq...
    Killin women an children turning their sky's black...
    In their eyes our hearts seem colder than ice caps...
    Man walks a thin line between the living an dead...
    Instead of teaching, their raping our children instead...
    Keep preaching, eating this corrupted religion their fed...
    Speaking scriptures of end, its all in decisions ahead...
    Soon to walk the devastation, face to face with the amazement...
    The skies will fall an you'll look for placement in your haven...
    See the raven stalks every single pace that your takin'...
    An judge the walk of every single step that you makin'...
    Open your eyes an see for yourself, who we kill is real...
    (our people) Through drug deals, (our planet) pollutin' oil spills...
    (the poor) Cant afford a meal, (the rich) corruption from dollar bills...
    Our fate is sealed, we just waitin on the Devil to finish the deal...
