Can’t Put It in the Hands of Fate lyrics

[Intro: Rapsody]

It's the R-a-p-s-o-d-y

Yo

[Verse 1: Rapsody]

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

[Verse 2: Cordae]

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 campaign, a damn shame

I'm thinkin' how will we survive

When the freedom that we have's a façade? Yeah

[Stevie Wonder & Busta Rhymes]

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

[Bridge]

[?] tomorrow

[?] seen your momma cry

But I've seen too many of our generations

Live and die for black lives in this good night

[Stevie Wonder & Busta Rhymes]

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

[Bridge]

[?] tomorrow

[?] seen your momma cry

But I've seen too many of our generations

Live and die for black lives in this good night

[CHIKA]

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

[Busta Rhymes]

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 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

[Stevie Wonder & Busta Rhymes]

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 it, 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

[Repeat]
