right now - lady essence lyrics

[intro: doris day]
admit you love me…
and so…how am i ever…to know?

[interlude: lady essence]
to the muslims
to the christians
to the citizens:
i hope you listeninʼ

[verse 1: lady essence]
i feel the hate steady balancing this country
i just wanna debate and challenge whatʼs in front of me
but you tell me, “no,” and i should know better than
to against the grain, test the brains at the other end
today it is relevant: bitter to the death
no forgiveness for the press:
they made us witness religion so different from the rest
and different from the west
and living to accept
is harder when your brought up tryna pick between the left
the right, and the middle
what is right? itʼs a riddle
a struggle within the puzzle
our contrite is so little
so effortless; your heaven is
a warzone to reverence
poor lords: forlorned
wars short on evidence
a quarter for your penitence
a penny for ya thought
hereʼs to visiting a history
so many have forgot:
see them, wearing a burqa?
like me rappinʼ in brooklyn
and, if it ever happens
people chatter, people look, and…

[pre-hook: lady essence]x2
she isnʼt i, i isnʼt she:
they put us in these category, categories

[hook: lady essence]
they say, “we ainʼt on the same page”
same cl-ss, different race, and the same age
but they say, “we ainʼt same,” heyyy…
i need change right now, i need change right now (heyyy heyyy…)

[verse 2: lady essence]
they tell me how to think, who to hate, who to love
they tell me that weʼre the same and we relate just because
they…share my race or have a status thatʼs above
and thatʼs where i wanna be, but that sp-ce builds up
and…
in the end, i can see eye to eye with
a foreigner in shambles with nothing but her silence
maybe we could wander, maybe we could all go
somewhere in rwanda, somewhere in the congo?
and thereʼs a situation jersey sh0r- oughta follow
questioning today prevents wars of tomorrow
a torrent of sorrow – put it in your ipod
zero ground for mosques; they lookinʼ to the sky, god
and would you mind, god? or are you blind, god?
if anybody asks, say its o. k. with my god
ʻcause, my god, we are burning with hypocrisy
if war teaches peace, then learning is a mockery

[pre-hook: lady essence]x2

[hook: lady essence]

[verse 3: lady essence]
iʼm not siding with the liberals
or siding with conservatives
but more people are dying deciding who deserves to live
tell me whose earth this is
spinning into turbulence:
i worry who the fury will bury soon as the surface gives
and are you nervous kid?
iʼll tell you just what nervous is:
walking onto u. s. soil without your turban hid
this ainʼt a game, yet we treat it like a tournament
pick your home team and cheer amid the current rifts
but let me shift, ʻcause, trust me, i support the vets:
anyone who dies for a right, i support, and, yet
we must examine the panic within the portland press
and understand the disadvantage when we ignore a sect-
ion of our community; usually we collect
as a whole and in unity; beautifully, now reflect
on a possibility that is near our grasp:
equality needs a future, just to clear our path…
