Visionary by Knights of 88 Lyrics
[Intro: Denham Smith]
War is not the answer
War bring death and separation
And segregation and pain
When you look around the world today
You see discrimination you see separation you see segregation
And you see love also
Any religion or any organisation that is based on love and respect
I will embrace
[Chorus: Denham Smith]
I can see the signs written everywhere (Good God)
Violence in the air people getting scared
Its about to go down
Its about to go down
I see too much hate its about to escalate
[Verse 1: Black Caz]
I done seen cops kill for no reason
Mother torn hug a casket screaming
Broken spirit yo her son not breathing
When its boyz in the hood
Society think we menace
Surrounding us is bereavement
We can’t achieve
If we kill the achievers
How can we dream
If we killing the dreamer’s
All this deceit gotta change our demeanour
All eyes on us like we children of Afena
But Im a keep my fist in air
Smith and Carlos
While they drag us through the sand man
No apollo
Just shells everywhere
So many souls hollow
Whats the future gone hold
If we shoot tomorrow
Shit but me I’m a do the right thing
And put love over hate
I’m Radio Raheem
Now just follow my lead
As we take it back to our roots yo
We shall proceed
[Chorus: Denham Smith]
I can see the signs written everywhere (Good God)
Violence in the air people getting scared
Its about to go down
Its about to go down
I see too much hate its about to escalate
[Verse 2: Kage Sparks]
Autobiographic
Black enterprise established
A million affirmations
Break my visions out these cages
Chief of my tribe lead my people to the water
Terror on the border so we heal them with the chorus
Architect of dreams
Build a nation here of Kings
Diabolic schemes
How they plotting on our kids
Forbidden laws of sin
Watch the Spirit wars begin
The enemy within you ever heard the devil sing?
Feeling monumental
Freedom on the menu
Got to feed my people
Bigger visions of the future
Sitting in the desert in a castle out in Senegal
Seeing all the hidden hands
Over stand the master plan
Malcolm at the podium
Assassins in the audience
Martin on the Balcony
Murdered in conspiracy
Nipsey in the car park
A Kingdom killed by Jealousy
Throw us in the dark
Want to take out all our visionaries
[Chorus: Denham Smith]
I can see the signs written everywhere (Good God)
Violence in the air people getting scared
Its about to go down
Its about to go down
I see too much hate its about to escalate
War is not the answer
War bring death and separation
And segregation and pain
When you look around the world today
You see discrimination you see separation you see segregation
And you see love also
Any religion or any organisation that is based on love and respect
I will embrace
[Chorus: Denham Smith]
I can see the signs written everywhere (Good God)
Violence in the air people getting scared
Its about to go down
Its about to go down
I see too much hate its about to escalate
