Divide in Time by MC Pooja Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What's happening now is just like the past
LA, where the only people were authorities that laughed
It’s just like that, where they all go hard
It just seems like we're all inside of one big flask
But can you believe that it happened so fast
I was peacefully sitting down, then the news just went blast
Now it's all mad, but we can’t go back
All these businesses getting destroyed, there goes their craft
When times get rough, as they are right now
I wouldn't say anything, I would just get inside of cars and plough
Before the atmosphere went all black
How did this happen where we would just walk by and allow?
There is a lack of notice in my area
Good or bad thing, which one do you think is superior?
Even before this, we had hysteria
Make sure to look inside, don't just look at the exterior
Hopefully further days will seem better
Can't go ride, days are sunny, I just wish they were wetter
Remember the worst thing years ago: getting bad school letters
We haven't yet set our eyes on a good pacesetter
On the news, nothing but protests, I am tired
Although the protests and riots made me feel inspired
Some people do not act human, I think they're wired
I know one thing though, the history of riots I've admired
Rioters just don't care, they’ll hop that fence
In fact, they might burn that fence should it commence
The power of these people is too immense
Waiting for another death on the news, I got suspense
But tensions are high, and they always have been
Like westerners telling easterners that their music’s in the bin
That's just not true, but that is not the thing
The thing is, US tensions have always been built-in
[Chorus]
Now it’s the constant divide that is here
Too many people thinking that the divide is not clear
It may not be clear to your friend or you
But just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not true
Different lenses on different people
Who would’ve thought that all the people are just never equal?
Why is that all needed? It's not needed at all
And they're all crawling around like Jake at the mall
[Verse 2]
Those tank attacks, let's take it to that
China, ‘89, then it all went black
You cannot try and move me away to distract
That mad murder was done in the act
Life just turned, it went black from good pink
How many people have died, place your bet, what do you think?
‘Cause I see the police have some weak links
As some who knows the law, I don't know if you know but I cannot forgive
What is happening in the world right now?
Peaceful protests are all good but it's rioters that make me frown
There are different ways that people go down
And this way certainly does the job while it's ‘round town
The matter of the order you can't dispute
Now I know what happened now, do you guys think it's too soon?
Famous person, go ahead and just loot
Their truths are bumpy, not well-rounded just like the moon
Life will look very different in the future
This main death wasn't sparked by a guy who was well-known as a shooter
And these events are not okay, computer
I never wanted to teach but right now I feel like a tutor
I never would've expected this in my life
How did I know this would happen? How did I see the plight?
Now it just seems like life is getting pierced by a kitchen knife
At least things are calm in countrysides just like a nice lock flight
This madness has me interested like a cat
The type to never ask what's going on but just sits back
I am like that, except I rap out the hat
Maybe now no-one will distract me from the facts
I knew this was coming, there's no surprises
No-one gains from this, there are no prizes
We went from staying indoors to abandoning advice
Everything has gone backwards in life just like anti-clockwise
[Chorus]
Now it's the constant divide that is here
Too many people thinking that the divide is not clear
It may not be clear to your friend or you
But just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not true
Different lenses on different people

Why is that all needed? It's not needed at all
