IT GONNA COME

See that man,

See that man, sittin' in front of the border line,

He ain't got the time, I argue, what's chosen, what is mine,

See that man holdin' his hand out in desperation,

He don't see salvation, no god and sure no nation,

[Ref]

See all working for, release to the end of our situation,

Who are hoping for the date that the powers see abdication and run,

I said it gonna come, lord. I said it gonna come,

See that man,

See that man sitting in front of the jewelry store,

He can't walk no more, he's just too damn poor,

See that man holding his eyes from the glaring sun,

He ain't got no one, his hopes all been undone,

[Ref]

Nothing good will comes from nothing,

Nothing comes from nothing good,

Why you spend the whole day bluffing,

Come on man do the work you should,

What you mean the world ain't easy

What you mean the world ain't mine,

Last I checked there were no price tags

Hanging on them shady pines

What you say when you say nothing

What you mean when you say lies

Politicians tell me something

What you got behind them,

[Ref]

Cause

We all working for, release to the end of our situation,

We are hoping for the date that the powers see abdication and run,

I said it gonna come, lord. I said it gonna come,

Look to my brother when you can
