Mane - S.O.T. (feat. Keisha Marie) Lyrics

I'm sick of hearing bout all this coronavirus
I'd rather just sit in silence
And ponder Set and Osiris
And Isis on the papyrus
The pious ones of antiquity
Mind body and soul's the original holy trinity
Think of your own divinity
Believe it or not
I pray to the god within they can't ever get me to stop
Though I dont know how I'll fare if I stand in front of Ma'at
Don't measure me against the feather my heart is hard as a rock
I admit I did some shit
So if Ammit comes to devour me
I'm just telling you now there will never be an apology
This ain't mythology
I'm certain because
I laid in the field of reeds I ain't even know what it was
But I was born with the C's and I've been reppin' it cuz
And I was brought up by G's I had to do what he does
I had to provide without even questioning why
I had to defy morality just to get by

It's just a sign of the time
Everybody acting crazy like their out if their mind
Another victim hit with this affliction as if it's some kind of design
But I can only look ahead no sense in tryna rewind
It's just a sign of the time
Don't involve me in no foolishness cuz I'ma decline
Look adjacent everybody paper chasing and I gotta get mine
Had to emulate my conqueror and try to survive

We try and we try
But still meet an untimely demise
You cry and you cry
Watching as we violently die
They lie and they lie
Claiming we were armed or resisting
Deny and deny
They hate the fact we're even existing
Listen even Stevie can clearly see the effect
But still I'm a human being I'm demanding decent respect
While Karen calls the police with the hope it leads to my death
And she breathes a sigh of relief as he puts his knee on my neck
I can't breathe precedes another murder by cop
The crowd watching on in horror as they beg him to stop
Don't have a reason to
When posting and preaching is all that we can do
Ain't learn his name but they'll be another one in a week or two
Whelp it's what we were dealt
We're by our self
I know how it felt with declining health
No one to help
Justice or Else
That speech that I listened to made a lot of sense
Years later they're 10,000 people with empty promises

It's just a sign of the time
Everybody acting crazy like their out if their mind
Another victim hit with this affliction as if it's some kind of design
But I can only look ahead no sense in tryna rewind
It's just a sign of the time
Don't involve me in no foolishness cuz I'ma decline
Look adjacent everybody paper chasing and I gotta get mine
Had to emulate my conqueror and try to survive
