lirik lagu awon & dephlow - time is the teacher
[hook: awon & dephflow]
time is the teacher
life is the lesson
learning is the journey
and i got so many questions
i said time is the teacher
life is the lesson
learning is the journey
and i got so many questions
[verse 1: dephflow]
time is the teacher
life is the lesson
learning is the journey
and i got so many questions
what is our real purpose in the first place?
what’s our true religion, what’s our original birthplace?
is any man really worthy of fame?
and is life only worth what i purchase in my name?
do black lives matter as much as any others do?
is inequality something that i should be accustomed to?
should i just adjust to you or just be?
is it everybody else or is it just me?
what’s free in the context of freedom
when the concept of me was three fifths human being?
how much money is enough money?
and why they keep laughing at us?
yo what the f-ck’s funny?
where do we go from here?
what am i supposed to do?
who’s looking out for the people
without the focus too?
who’s looking into the people inside the focus groups?
and why ask questions when you know the truth?

[verse 2: awon]
time is the teacher
life is the lesson
when the veil is off
what i see is depression
my third eye open that’s the reason that i rhyme
a ged help me escape the school to prison pipeline
they gave us white lines to sell to our brothers
i victimized somebody father, my homie’s mother
through books i discovered the injustice and racism
cl-sses, i’m a fascist nation that hates pigment
it’s ironic when i think about it
aren’t we all human? the bible says
we all descended from adam and eve
and the oldest human fossil was found in africa
so somewhere a white boy is blacker than me
one man’s chaos is another man’s order
one man’s freedom is another man’s slaughter
one man’s toilet is another man’s water
the gluttony of a few the starvation of many
only so long before “please” becomes “gimme”
they call it a coup when the people pick up semis
i hate authority the more they try to oppress
i see uprisings and they call it unrest
i hate power, “hate” is such a powerful word
i love god, putting anything before him’s absurd
i have no faith in man, i have faith in mankind
through these rhymes i’m the seeing-eye dog for the blind

[verse 3: awon & dephflow]
time is the teacher
life is the lesson
learning is the journey
and i got so many questions
brother, why you dressed up for protest?
photo ops, selfies and brownie points why don’t you bring it to the cops?
man why not throw shots, why stop and just watch?
if you don’t fight back you a prisoner of your block
homie, why don’t you want what you really need?
why do we still feel asleep if we really free?
yo is my lifestyle really me?
in exchange for equality we let you be, or burn these streets
why so many black pacifists trying to be activists
we on some back nationalist rapper sh-t
we making larry davises every time you play this sh-t
celebrating our vindication or staging hits
we not saying this sh-t just to be saying it
it’s dephflow and awon, the only ones saying sh-t
