Is now a good time
A good time to reflect
Elijah and Enoch is been said
Not to have face death
If ordained by God
If you have complied
Why must you decay like us
And why must you die
Nothing special about you
Politicians perish to
Nothing special about you
Politicians decay like we do
And nothing special about you
Politicians dehumanize
Unlike me and you
Ulysses Grant cancer at the throat
Jefferson a plethora of disease
Madison the heart gave way
God doesn't seem so pleased
The Gettysburg Address
That November in 1863
Lincoln clearly said
Government is decided by you and me
By the people and for the people
Words that are so clear
Their terms in office subject to debate
Their body God does not hold dear
You will not ascend
No whirlwind sent for you
Yes you may pretend
Cause there is nothing left to do
You will not ascend
No chariot of fire
Yes you may pretend
But sainthood isn't rooted in desire
Although urban raised
The debate God has settled
As one dies so dies the other
Is the same for urban and the ghetto
You will not ascend
No whirlwind sent for you
Yes you may pretend
Cause there is nothing left to do
You will not ascend
No chariot of fire
Yes you may pretend
But sainthood isn't rooted in desire
Although urban raised
The debate God has settled
As one dies so dies the other
Is the same for urban and the ghetto
