Destiny Lyrics by Kerry Badgley

Pieces to Yesterday

2009

[Intro]
K-Bad, Timlin
It's destiny, in 2019
[Verse]
Shot block with the road block
All the tough jocks livin' lives of hard lies and alibis
Takin' for granted all the shit that they be handed
Never thinking for one second that it might get apprehended
But overseas in Iraq, a different story
Over there, the scene is much more gory
Living day-by-day just to live a different way
Soldiers missin' what we're thinkin'
Left with scenes of deprivation
But there's just one thing that you've got to realize
There be planes droppin' bombs from these skies
These guys gettin' caught up in lies
Tryin' not to get caught up in the sand trap
[Pre-Chorus]
And do you feel for the kid on the side of the street
Blown up by the bomb underneath his feet
Were you there as the third world falls to the ground?
Livin' it up to see what's all around (We're sayin')
[Chorus]
Everybody wants what they can't have now
Fearing, wanting, needing, showing
Side by side we stand as it ends now
Caring, holding, sharing, crying
Everyone will pray for better times now
Even when they know it's hopeless
[Verse]
Back here at home in the Capital city
The teller checks my order and I throw down a fitty
Never stoppin' just to think that the water in the sink
Could be envied by so many who could only dream of it
But there's still one thing that you fail to realize
Everything could disappear right before your eyes
Goodbyes, memories of Pearl Harbor;
The undeniable pain that we harbour
The lucky few who escaped the twin towers
Powers from the Haulocaust survivers, fivers
Swimmin' with the deep-sea divers
Dreamin' of tomorrow, try'na forget yesterday
'Cause all that we wanted to say
Gets caught inside
You try to face the truth
But you gotta run and hide
Soldiers waitin' at their stations
Keepin' up their patience
Ready to go outside and face it all
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you got something to say
You better say it today
'Cause you know that there might not
Be another day to portray your dismay
All this death and decay
Keeps turning you away from the thoughts of yesterday
But there's still one thing that you got to realize
There ain't nothing but blue in these skies
Yeah, it'll be okay
It's destiny (we're sayin')
[Chorus]
Everybody wants what they can't have now
Fearing, wanting, needing, showing
Side by side we stand as it ends now
Caring, holding, sharing, crying
Everyone will pray for better times now
Even when they know it's hopeless
Destiny is up in higher hands now
Fearing, wanting, needing, showing
[Outro]
You know
I just tell it how it is
The rest is up to you
