Track 3 of the album by Hakim Jamal: 'Not Too Busy To Hate.' In the wake of George Floyd, can the optimism about Civil Rights be sustained in what is now a massively more inconsiderate and divided society?
Lyrics:
So broken, so damn broken
So broken, so damn broken
So broken, so damn broken
So broken, so damn broken
Looking ‘round this world that’s yours and mine / seems that
We’ve all taken / a step back in time
There’ve been revolutions / in the past / so what
Makes you think / that this one’s gonna last? / this world is…
We’re buying satellites / to send to space
To improve communication / with the whole human race
But just one thought seems / out of place –
Whatever happened / to talkin’ face to face? / you see it’s…
The election / of the first black President
Seems like somethin’ / that just came and went
Now they’re fighting / in the streets
Brothers and sisters sayin’ ‘fuck the police’ / everything is…
