Song lyrics

[Verse 1: Rapsody]
It's the R-A-P-S-O-D-Y, yo!
History say don't repeat her,
Many years a slave, took notes from Lupita, (Yeah)
You should marvel at the fighting, (Talk) feel like Anitta, (Talk)
Apologize, you denied my people,
Made our death legal, (C'mon) we all paralegal, (Uh)
Gotta defend ourselves when the laws ain't equal, (Yeah)
Cops aim lethal, (Baow) death in cathedrals, (Uh)
Bang-bang boogie, you could die wearin' a hoodie, blaow!

[Verse 2: Cordae]
Yeah, uh!
Alright, sometimes we gotta find our creator,
If I defeated Father Time, was raised by Mother Nature,
In the projects, tenement walls, sudden withdrawals,
A true rebel is easy to spot the government flaws.
Mass confusion, people in power commit collusion,
Indoctrinated students, I'm the leader of the movement,
Take lifetimes, tryna duck the school-to-prison pipeline,
Disenfranchised, amazing I'm in my right mind.
Create change, survive, struggle to maintain,
So many lies within the campaign, a damn shame,
I'm thinkin' how will we survive
When the freedom that we have's a façade? Yeah!

[Verse 3: Stevie Wonder]
You say you're sick and tired of us protesting,
I say, "Not tired enough to make a change!"
You say, "Just you hold on!"
I say "No way, 'cause we can't put it in the hands of fate!"
Can't put it in the hands of fate, now, baby, uh!
You say that you believe that all lives matter,
I say, "I don't believe the fuck you do!"
You say, "All things in time."
I say, "That's why I'm not gonna put it in the hands of fate!"

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes & Stevie Wonder]
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Not gon' put it in the hands of fate now, baby!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
No, no, no, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait.

[Bridge: Stevie Wonder]
In the not so distant tomorrow
Robins will sing your lullaby,
But I've seen too many of our generations
Live and die for that pie in the sky.

[Verse 4: Stevie Wonder]
You say, "Those innocent lives should've not been taken!"
And I say, "For them is why we take a knee!"
You say, "Is that the right play?"
I say, "First Amendment everyday 'cause we can't put it in the hands of fate!"

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes & Stevie Wonder]
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
No, no, no, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
We can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Come on!

[Bridge: Stevie Wonder]
In the not so distant tomorrow (Yeah)
Robins will sing your lullaby, (Woah)
But I've seen too many of our generations
Live and die for that pie in the sky.

[Verse 5: CHIKA]
Yeah, we went from fields into a field,
Bodies hittin' the ground, and so we gotta take a kneel,
Mothers missin', kid's attorneys say they oughta take a deal,
They determine that the price of life is just a couple mill'.
And bricks are meant to build, and fire's meant to light,
And souls are meant to rest and living soldiers gotta fight,
We don't need no politics to try to justify the plight,
It's a problem of the people, it's no longer black and white.

[Verse 6: Busta Rhymes]
Look, said we ain't talkin' no more, we gettin' to it, (Ha)
Can't put it in the hands of fate, this how we do it, (Ha)
Now let me go and get with all of my people, you know I have to get,
That'll show me sacrifice just like my brother Colin Kaepernick.
Opportunities that I get to talk, you know I have to spit,
Breonna Taylor turn in her grave, you know we have to get justice!
And stay in your place, we still focused on the outcome of George Floyd case, (Floyd case)
While you out here doin' the minimal, (Ha)
Everything about us still live by the principle, (Ha)
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait.

[Verse 7: Stevie Wonder]
You say now you really truly get it,
I say, "How much you do will let me know!"
You say, "I'm so ready!"
I say, "Let's do this, and not just put it in the hands of fate!"

[Chorus: Busta Rhymes & Stevie Wonder]
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
No, no, no, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
We can't put it in the hands of fate now, baby!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
No, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
No!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
No, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
No!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
No, no, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Oh, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Oh, no, no, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Oh, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Oh, no, no, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
A-no, no, no!
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait,
Can't put it in the hands of fate, ain't nobody got time to wait!
