A Better World Lyrics by Marcel Cartier

History Will Absolve Us

2014

[Verse 1]
The power of example, power of ideas
Will still live on when you no longer here
The power of your word, power of your action
That spirit now too often is lacking
Most of my heroes died violent deaths
To be truthful, I can't expect no less
The goal to be the highest stature of man
That means selfless with a forward plan
I know that progress requires struggle
Has through the centuries of people's troubles
But people's muscle and will to win
Ultimately define the strength within
The Vietnamese beat the USA
On just one bowl of rice in a single day
Now that's willingness to sacrifice
And that's really paying the ultimate price
[Chorus]
(A Much better world has potential to grow!)
It's a better world that we are building now
(We building it now!)
All my people on the march ain't sittin' down
(We ain't sittin' down!)
It's a better life that we deserve to live
(We deserve to live!)
Can you picture a better world than this?
[Verse 2]
You know you doing right when more and more they talk shit
An indication that you attention stoppin'
It's so easy to do shitloads of talkin'
But the majority will never do the walkin'
I'm a man of action not merely words
And all the non-sense they spew is absurd
Do they not understand they fuel the fire?
And that revolutionaries don't retire?
This the start of a more militant me
I'm not on defensive, I'm gonna be
Frontline at your door with conviction
Center-stage going in with precision
Fake rappers wanna imitate a fantasy
That shit is backwards, they need to be on minor league
Intrigued? never, and yes I need the cheddar
But it's all about survival not a bourgeois kind of measure
[Chorus]
(A Much better world has potential to grow!)
It's a better world that we are building now
(We building it now!)
All my people on the march ain't sittin' down
(We ain't sittin' down!)
It's a better life that we deserve to live
(We deserve to live!)
Can you picture a better world than this?
