Realities Though Not Beheld Lyrics – Affinity Drive
Singer: Affinity Drive
Title: Realities Though Not Beheld
I used to use Hip Hop to show my pain
And I guess in some ways to know I’m sane
I’ve grown up today and I won’t complain
Or claim I’m held above an open flame
And I don’t hope in vain
But what will I write about when there’s no more pain?
Nice sights and sounds?
The life around?
It psyches me out
I’m the type to strike the ground
The pain tells us that we weren’t born numb
Though we feel worn and scorn our sore thumbs
Like, “how am I to use these to beat the war drum?”
But ain’t it worth it for when the Lord comes?
So I don’t write much these days
Blow off the mic’s dust
Tight clutch to seem brave
The right touch might crush what makes dreams fade
But dreams fade…
I don’t mean to repaint the scene grey
It’s a bleak phrase for a weak phase
For one moment though can we please speak straight?
The world beats slaves
We heave and breathe pain
On our knees pray
Life’s tough
We keep pace
Can’t leave the race or deploy the speed-brakes
Even if we feel steel wheels shake the feet stay
Even if the weed’s came we can feed a seed placed
Even in a heat wave we have free shade
Even if a sheep strays we can keep the team safe
We can behave
We can be great
They’ll see the face gleam beams from deep space
That mean the dream seem as sweet as cheesecake
We preach each day and we always sleep late
Can’t be a cheapskate or we’d never reap grain
The harvest’s at a peak rate
People need a clean slate
Angels watch with popcorn
God warns, “please brace”
“You must go through a lot more, you need faith”
Let’s say something real…
Yo
We choose shrewd and true phrases to use
Through slews of due praise to say something real
Before the lamb we humbly kneel
So even if we grew grey or abruptly keeled
If our fate remained to fade away to dust the fields
Who can complain to change the ways Jah justly deals?
He raised the new days and made the love we feel
The world worsens and he gave the work of prophets
And a certain promise to reverse the curse the people channel
The excursion’s got us on the path reprieval travels
We’re witnesses in a universal legal battle
To you the depths of deep shadow seem shallow
You’ve deemed hallow the plain and lame names but shamed scholars
You’re the great potter
We’ll take the offer
Jehovah, to you belong the glory, praise and honor
You remain our Father
Um, just one question, uh, faith, what is it?
A solid or a liquid?
Tell me what I’m missing and I promise I’ll listen
It’s a Hutu saving a Tutsi from genocide
It breathes life into a man that’s dead inside
A purple triangle stitched to a martyr’s chest
It consoles the soul of a heart depressed
It’s facing the lions and bracing for violence
Not chasing the diamonds or waiting in silence
It’s patient and vibrant
The shape of refinement
It makes us migrant in a change of assignment
Yo, it’s alive and speaking but not blind or a feeling
Faith is not instilled through divine revealings
It knows signs and meaning and starts applying it
It’s gained through the brain and heart of a scientist
Faith is the evidence of all that is hoped for
The assurance of what’s behind the closed door
It may not know more
But sees the bigger picture
It brings the scriptures
C’mon, dig the mixture
Since faith is based on evidence vs. blind belief
We can change our frame of reference to find relief
In time our chief will redesign society
And we will actually become the people we try to be
For the young boy who wouldn’t worship a nation
For the unjustly jailed who found a purpose in patience
For those trying to breathe through those sighs and heaves
Faith is why we believe
