Time's Up
I was inspired to write this rap song about Black Lives Matter (#BLM) after listening to Stormzy's, 'Heavy is the Head' album. This song is pretty self-explanatory - it encourages Black power/love and is uplifting, refreshing and real. It also speaks on a lot of truths. The vibes/atmosphere of this song are eccentric, sentimental and all-encapsulating. In addition, it has a melodic chorus, fitting perfectly into most rap genres.

[VERSE 1]
The time is up and their world is falling down
Heavy is the head - I'm still wearing the crown
All these racist faces
Need more Black spaces
When you see me with my niggas know that we changing phrases
We making changes
So give us our raises
We are travellers, we are not savages
Pythagoras tried to figure us out
He still up there thinking 'cause we extend parameters
We are Interstellar
We are spectacular
So do me a favour - find it in your fucking spirit
To man up or mind your fucking business
'Cause your time's up
Wait. I'm not finished yet
Said you have more things to worry about than us
I'm showing Black love
[CHORUS]
Time's up
You had your chance
Now it's done
No moves left in this dance
For you
'Cause your time's up
So stand up if you're a witness
A witness
A witness
Oh yes, your time's up!
[VERSE 2]
It's all love and that
I found my love no cap
Skydiving in Iceland
With the love of my life
They'll tell you when you fall you die
Wellllllll
That's just really a fucking lie
This matrix is a lie, my nigga
Chemtrails, fake clouds, they doing spells, my nigga
Fell from the sky just to see it for myself, my nigga
All this wealth and people still worried 'bout my health, my nigga
If you're living in fear, it means you're really living in hell
Wait. I'm not finished yet
Said they don't realise this Earth is hell, my nigga
Haters hating the truth, alright den, thas a farewell
Go figure
[CHORUS]
Time's up
You had your chance
Now it's done
No moves left in this dance
For you
'Cause your time's up
So stand up if you're a witness
A witness
A witness
Oh yes, your time's up!
[VERSE 3]
Sound the trumpets
Black oneness
Earth can't be flat 'cause we give it that plumpness
Cosmic timing
Time is aligning
They can't hack it - we just kill'em with bluntness
It's all for the culture
Unless you a fucking culture vulture
Take your effing mask off
It won't save you
You were supposed to be one race
Now you just lookin' shameful
Give us back our herbs
Give us back our ornaments
Give us back our spells, 'cause you clearly don't know what to do with it
Give us back our wealth
Black lives matter but nobody's worried 'bout our health
Give us XXXX XXX XXXX
