Time Songtext
von Dr. Israel

I will take my time as I look to the West
I know this is best
There will be no resolution
′Til the Black man finds rest

And I will take my time as I look to the East
This a war must cease
There will be no resolution
'Til our children find peace

And I will take my time when it comes to this town
If I′m still around
'Cause there's no black, white, yellow, red
We are all shades of brown

And I will take my time as I fight Babylon
All throughout this land

Because it is them that must step down
It is them that must step down
Because it is them that must step down
It is them that must step down


Power from book precede power from gun
Power from blood make I man African
Word from book create power to see
Moses, Deborah, Jossus, Crispus, Marcus Garvey
Power to see become power to look
Become power to think and then power get shook

Power get shook and then soldier man come
Then power from book a fight power from gun
Power from gun push down power from book
Then people all around them see the power get took
Power get took and then power soon done
′Cause power from word create revolution

I will take my time as I look to the East
This a war must cease
There will be no resolution

′Til the Black man finds peace

And I will take my time when it comes to a man
This a part of we plan
There will be no resolution

'Til I′m called African
And I will take my time when it comes to this town

If I'm not gunned down
′Cause there's no black, white, yellow, red
We are all shades of brown


And I will take my time when it comes to a child
Speak with them a while

Because it is them that must go on
It is them that must go on
Because it is them that must go on
It is them that must go on
