Lyrics Can't Put It In The Hands Of Fate - Stevie Wonder, Rapsody, YBN Cordae

Can't Put It In The Hands Of Fate

History say don’t repeat it
Millions of slaves took notes from the Peter
You should marvel at the fightin', feel like Anitta
Apologize, you denied my people
Made eye death legal, we all paralegal
Gotta defend ourselves when the laws ain’t equal
Cops aim lethal, death in cathedrals
Bang, bang boogie, you could die wearin' a hoodie
Yeah, uh
Alright, sometimes we gotta find our creator
I been feedin' Father Time, was raised by Mother Nature
In the projects tellin' me war, sudden withdrawals
A true rebel is easy to spot, the government flaws
Mass confusion, people in power commit collusion
Indoctrinatin' students, I’m the leader of the movement
Take lifetimes, tryna prison pipelines
This a franchise, amazin' I’m in my right mind
Create change, survive, struggle to maintain
So many lies within the c&aign, a damn shame
I’m thinkin' how will we survive
When the freedom that we have’s a façade?
Yeah
You say you’re sick and tired of us protestin'
I say «Not enough time to make a change»
You say «Just keep holdin' 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
You say that you believe in all lives matter
I say, I don’t believe the fuck you do
You say, all things is done
I say, that’s why I’m not gonna put it in the hands of fate
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
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 waste
No, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
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 waste
tomorrow
seen your momma cry
But I’ve seen too many of our generations
Live and die for black lives in this good night
You say «Those innocent lives should’ve not been taken»
And I say «But then, that’s why we take a knee»
You say «Is that the right lane»
I say «That's everyday»
'Cause we can’t put it in the hands of fate
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
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 waste
No, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
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 waste
Come on
tomorrow
seen your momma cry
But I’ve seen too many of our generations
Live and die for black lives in this good night
Yeah, we went from fields into a field
Bodies hit the ground, and so we gotta take a kneel
Mothers missin' kids and a deal
They determine that the prize of life is just a couple mill
They break them into will, they fires went the light
Leavin' souls in direction and even soldiers gotta fight
We don’t need no politics to try to justify the
It’s a problem of the people, it’s no longer black and white
Look
So, we ain’t talkin' no more, we get into it
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, this how we do it
Now let me go and get with all my people, you know I have to get there
They show me sacrifice just like my brother Colin Kaepernick
How many opportunities do I get to talk?
You know I have to spit
Breonna Taylor turnin' in her grave, you know we have to get justice!
And stay in your place ad still focus on the outcome of George Floyd case
While you out here doin' the minimal, hah
Everything about principle
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
You say «Now your village really get it»
I say «How would you do «You say «I'm so ready»
I say «Let's do this, and not just put it in the hands of fate»
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
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 waste
No, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
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 waste
No, no, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
No
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
No, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
No
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
No, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Oh, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Oh, no, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Oh, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Oh, no, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
No, no, no
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
Can’t put it in the hands of fate, ain’t nobody got time to waste
