Latyrx - "Arrival" - The Second Album [Lateef the Truth Speaker] Thank you, thank you, thank you I would first like to thank the almighty creator for making all things possible You're so awesome And I would like to thank you all Everyone that voted for peace, justice, equality Those that stand for an improvement in policy Those that want to see change implemented, not just words but actions Commitment to a brighter future To all you futurist I salute ya And we won't be denied Progress is on our side The pathway to forward is illuminated for us and shine With a bright, undeniable light And it's his light, her light, all different skin types Weights, heights, likes, dislikes, and walks of life And that light will blaze the way to a better tomorrow What we do today in this life, in this time It's our charge, to all rise And seize the moment, collectively own it Victory is waiting for us, all it's open We have arrived, we have arrived, we are here (speech x10) I'm feeling more optimistic than I have in a very long time The storm clouds have lifted it's been a scary long ride I finally feel like after I don't know how many years I'm tirelessly fighting uphill, compromising the deals The grinding, the building, the broadening of our appeal At last we finally arrived The worlds opened up like a coconut The culturally monopoly broken up And for those that had a hold on us Imposed their doctrine and a code of conduct That's over and done, all that is history
This is a new model, but enough about yesterday Let's talk about tomorrow See change, a paradigm shift We change, it's an awesome time For those of us who felt marginalized, compartmentalized Or felt like we led nominal lives, or even felt like a target at times And where I once felt like an outsider Now I feel like I am empowered And it doesn't mean it still won't be difficult And I still don't quite feel like we hit that pinnacle But what we achieved is not insignificant Think of what we once were, this is not some little sh** So where do we go next? Proceed with boldness Embrace our wholeness Activate our culture We are pa**ionate, imaginative, action orientated people Savvy in chemist, manic, with swagger that's unequaled Keep investing in ourselves and testing ourselves Keep pressing ourselves, besting ourselves Foster that entrepreneurial spirit Recognize that this is a milestone, historical period Let us use this momentum to further conquer our limits Cause we still got a few old habits to break And we still do have a whole planet to save We have arrived, we have arrived We are here (speech x10) We are the victors The dirty and forgotten We march ahead to a song We fight till we die We stare 'em in the eye We never flinch We never give an inch We never cry, oh Pray for the women The worthy downtrodden We honor your memory with song So raise your pitchers and turn the top to bottom
