Description

Lyrics
I thought it was a lesson learned nothing was learned one hand has been healed but the other has been burned you give and you take away I don't have time for your charades but I can tell you one thing I'm here to stay chorus: and I'm waiting oh I'm fighting for the day you recognize me as the same you can not vilify me when you're the one with all the hate I'm not subhuman I'm not second rate I'm not moving on I'm not gonna fade so I'm waiting oh I'm fighting for the day you recognize me as the same you legitimize one group and subjugate the other when really you should focus on loving one another I've got nothing but love for all my sisters and my brothers even the ones who detest me undercover and I will gather everything I've got to share do anything I can to make this world fair if I have to I will put up a fight to be sure we all have the same rights Chorus Bridge: Bushwalla: I close my eyes so third eye can visualize a world with one fluid positive action talking soul satisfaction Marty Benson: well the mission is obvious the process was always makeshift anything we can say can be so love is easier than hatred Bushwalla: are you frightened by the black mans attraction or two lovers loving the same sex as one another Marty Benson: well these slippery-slope arguments mimic a crippled and cold heartedness thats abundant redundant flagrant and antiquated chorus
