Stevie Wonder - can’t put it in the hands of fate

가사는 인권과 정의에 대한 투쟁을 다루면서, 역사를 반복하지 않기 위한 경각심을 일깨운다
또한, 사회의 불공정함과 정치적 부패에 대한 실망을 드러내며, 그 속에서 어떻게 생존하고 변화를 만들지를 고민한다
궁극적으로, 현재의 자유가 진정한 것이 아닐 수 있다는 의문을 제기한다

(It's the R-A-P-S-O-D-Y) Yo
Cordae]
History say don't repeat her
Many years a slave, took notes from Lupita (Yeah)
You should marvel at the fightin' (Talk), feel like Anitta (Talk)
Apologize, you denied my people
Made our death legal (C'mon), we all paralegal (Uh)
Gotta defend ourselves when the laws ain't equal (Yeah)
Cops aim lethal (Baow), death in cathedrals (Uh)
Bang-bang boogie, you could die wearin' a hoodie, blaow (Yeah, uh)
Alright, sometimes we gotta find our creator
If I defeated Father Time, was raised by Mother Nature
In the projects, tenement walls, sudden withdrawals
A true rebel is easy to spot the government flaws
Mass confusion, people in power commit collusion
Indoctrinated students, I'm the leader of the movement
Take lifetimes, tryna duck the school-to-prison pipeline
Disenfranchised, amazin' I'm in my right mind
Create change, survive, struggle to maintain
So many lies within the campaign, a damn shame
I'm thinkin' how will we survive
When the freedom that we have's a façade? Yeah
