A tipping point has finally been reached in our consciousness. Sadly this awakening comes after the unfair and tragic loss of yet another black man’s life, George Floyd.
“8:46” had been ruminating for a while in my head until I heard Admiral Bob’s soulful guitar solo in his track A Minor Fourths as remixed by Kara in her track Possibility — then the words and melody poured onto the paper. (Thank you for your musical inspiration Admiral and Kara!) Of course my next obstacle would be the vocal performance of my composition. Fortunately I live in the presence of the very talented Snowflake who honored me with her powerful voice (and production skills), for this I have much gratitude! Even though the dawn of this new era is just upon us, a crack in the wall has exposed a light for humanity to walk through, this gives me hope for a brighter day! 8:46 by Patronski There’s people cryin’ There’s people lyin’ There’s people dyin’ On our streets every day We’ve got to stand up Stand up for what is right Knock down the walls in front of us And walk straight toward the light Change can’t happen ‘til you change your mind Change can’t happen if you’re color blind System’s gotta change to heal this time We see you, hear you, we’re guilty of this crime It’s systemic A global endemic This racial pandemic Must end here today Ships with shackles down below Twenty score and one year ago For these sins we must all atone 8:46 is carved in stone Change can’t happen ‘til you change your mind Change can’t happen if you’re color blind System’s gotta change to heal this time We see you, hear you, we’re guilty of this crime Protesters marching down main street Armed with signs for humanity While the bullets fly and the tear gas flows Attitudes shift as our consciousness grows History books don’t tell the truth Of the evil we have brought to you The pain and blood that you’ve endured Is a debt too great and overdue How much longer do we turn a blind eye To the screams in the night and the battle cries Centuries of abuse gotta come to an end Time to unify, Black Lives Matter Transformation Transmutation Transfiguration For redemption I pray A crack in the wall, exposes a light This sickness ain’t black, yea it is white A window opens, the world ignites Raise a fist to all unite Change can’t happen ‘til you change your mind Change can’t happen if you’re color blind System’s gotta change to heal this time We see you, hear you, we’re guilty of this crime Protesters marching down main street Armed with signs for humanity While the bullets fly and the tear gas flows Attitudes shift as our consciousness grows Black Lives Matter Yea, Black Lives Matter Protestors marching down main street (Black Lives Matter) Armed with signs for humanity (Black Lives Matter) While the bullets fly and the tear gas flows (Black Lives Matter) Attitudes shift as our consciousness grows (Black Lives Matter) How much longer do we turn a blind eye (Black Lives Matter) Time to unify (Black Lives Matter)
