The Most Exciting Time

from Why Not? by Frank John James

/

lyrics

(Verse 1)
It coulda been another time for me & it of been alright for me
But me? I see potential in a world that is ripe for me
Apocalypse is obvious if you do the math
We don't got the resources, plus in a blood bath
We killin' people for weapons to kill ourselves
Ignorin' innovations based whether or not it sells
You call it hell or heaven but really it don't matter
What matters is your efforts to build and deserve the latter
I'm after what we losin' & usin' what most have lost
Maybe it's just a matter of bridges they yet to cross
I dream of the apocalypse welcome its possibility
Only because I see it providing us with humility
Perhaps civility something we really need
When it's something worth it really you're willing to even bleed
A time of challenges, happiness over damages
The question is, will you be ready, or are you vanishing?

(Verse 2)
So I'll live for the purpose of servin' a greater cause
It might not be the most, but certainly safer loss
On some worst case, worst way to live life to the fullest
At the expense of others who suffer for you to do it
A time of individuals claimin' superiority
Who cannot understand the unity, you and me
You wouldn't be inclined for self-destructive behavior
If you only knew your options you'd be your self-savior
The most knowledge available since natives were conquered
Nearly wiped out and all their knowledge doctored
We could self-educate rapidly innovate
Why should we allow tuition to ever get in our way
The problems get worse yet we still find solutions
Yet even those who learn 'em, don't manage to do shit
Let's organize and optimize our opportunity
And ask what we could do for us and not what I can do for me
