Great Divide Lyrics - Singles - Sitting Dove

What Up? (L) 

It's time... (R) 

Just after the rain, I was ridin' the redline 

Steam risin' glistenin' in the summer sunset light 

It was a hot and balmy evenin', Chicago Southside 

Rockin', floatin', back and forth and side to side 

I was gettin' light-headed when I heard, "It's time" 

A lady dancin' with the train, she said, "Yeah, it's time 

Uh huh...It's time... 

Uh huh Uh huh Uh huh Uh huh 

Yeah, it's time...Uh huh...It's time 

Uh huh Uh huh Uh huh Uh huh 

Yeah, it's time...Uh huh...it's time... 

That lady sittin' across from me kept sayin' "It's time" 

We're subjects of the experiment that lady and I 

We're forced to see each other from different sides 

We're victims of the experiment, the great divide 

That lady sittin' across from me kept sayin' "Yeah, it's time" 

Chorus: 

I got a Tupac in my soul, a Malcom in my mind 

I got a King-sized dream to overcome and override 

All the fear and rage recurring runnin' 'round my mind 

God please help me I'm alone tonight 

Help me quiet that Devil voice that's simmerin', seethin' inside 

Tame those demons teamin', tauntin', tryin' to destroy my life 

God please help me, I'm swingin' wide 

I got a King-size dream I gotta put in overdrive 

When I stop and think I can't stop wonderin' why 

Some men get to live and why some others die 

Why did Martin die, why is another livin' high 

Why did Malcolm die, why did another get to rise 

Why did Tupac die, why do those others thrive 

Why do the Kennedy's die why are the Bush's still alive 

These are the things I think of when I'm thinkin' Southside 

The birth of the Neo-Con came from the Southside 

"Neo" means global, domination is the prize 

Divide up the people and conquer worldwide 

"By any means" is their motto and their pride 

And they do it for real and they do it real sly 

By gettin' people to judge themselves and each other by their hyde 

And age and creed and gender—by any means divide 

Most of us mean well, we've just been fooled by their disguise 

We're victims of the experiment, the great divide 

Chorus: 

I got a Tupac in my soul, a Malcom in my mind 

I got a King-sized dream to overcome and override 

All the fear and rage recurring runnin' 'round my mind 

God please help me, I'm alone tonight 

Help me quiet that Devil voice that's simmerin', seethin' inside 

Tame those demons teamin', tauntin', tryin' to destroy my life 

God please help me, I'm swingin' wide 

I got a King-size dream I gotta put in overdrive 

(Bridge) 

Chorus: (2x) 

I got a Tupac in my soul, a Malcom in my mind 

I got a King-sized dream to overcome and override 

All the fear and rage recurring runnin' 'round my mind 

God please help me, I'm alone tonight 

Help me quiet that Devil voice that's simmerin', seethin' inside 

Tame those demons teamin', tauntin', tryin' to destroy my life 

God please help me, I'm swingin' wide 

I got a King-size dream I gotta put in overdrive
