This song has always been super powerful for me... INCREDIBLE lyrics. Today, in this season, in this time where our country and people are hurting so bad, I pray that this reaches so far into people's hearts and tugs at strings that have laid dormant for far too long! #blacklivesmatter It's time to have the discussion, it's time to have a change.
At 00:16, the xylophone (or similar) is playing a snippet of Trackless Sea. Will go to other videos to see if there are other hints of what they're going to drop, can't wait for the rest!
Y'all want that anthem music? Come and get that stand-up music That Propaganda music That raise-ya-hand-up music I told y'all "Be about it" Y'all like "I tweeted about it Don't be so mean about it I'm down to read about it You flipped a hashtag You flipped the avi right? Your fist is in the air Can't say I'm racist, right?" A sordid [?] with them 'Cause most don't notice the system 'Til it turn against them, ay And what it takes is all of me I'm still not who I'm meant to be I'm holding back, I just relax Indulge in insecurities Livin' a lie, livin' a lie Apathetic I'm complicit in the prejudice, it's automatic I take advantage being born into my demographic But what's a blessing when it generates a struggle of a color For the privilege of another? In my whitewashed tomb I've become immune Oh, my God, oh, my God From my mother's womb I'm a whitewashed tomb Oh, my God, oh, my God And what it takes is all of me I'm still not who I'm meant to be I'm holding back, I just relax Indulge in insecurities Livin' a lie, livin' a lie Playin' with fire, playin' with fire Livin' a lie, playin' with fire And what it takes is all of me I'm still not who I'm meant to be When I react, I just retract Avoiding all the gravity Livin' a lie, livin' a lie Playin' with fire, playin' with fire Livin' a lie, playin' with fire Yeah, area codes etched on the layers of epidermis Over carotid arteries to guarantee its permanence Removal of it's suicide, at this point it's obvious Close your browser In young war zone, lose ya in Fallujah I hope you find shelter 'fore them goons come bruise ya And when the homies gain thrones, boy, it ain't no game, bro I shouldn't how a body goes limp when it hangs, bro But go'n close your browser The luxury of the option of participation is great, right? Man, this a great life Man, we did something right And I've struggled with hugging my daughters Knowing homies who can't no more And enjoying the time I got While living in attention of the world's imperfection Locking in the sovereign reign of the King of All Kings Trusting He'll make right all things He'll make right all things No one is safe from the gods we create They all turn on us No one escapes heaven's justice unpaid Have mercy now
Everything about this is awesome!The vocals, the rapping, the arrangements..everything is top notch..Keep up the great work,guys!!It's a joy & privilege to hear your music..God Bless!!
Not a particular fan of this song from Kings K, but musically its amazing and I have been able to use it to open up non believers to Christian music. You tell someone about Christian hip-hop and watch the eye rolls. Then play this or "Alive" and watch their jaws drops lol.
You're totally amazing in all your works! Awesome, incredible, marvelous, these music touch my body and soul! I love you, Chad. I love you, KK, I love you all! Please, come to Brazil!
your music always reminds me how God created us to be creators. the instruments, the voices, the art, the lyrics are all so full of creativity and life.
shout out to that drummer bro don't get enough credit. them rhythms off beat and shit look uncomfortable to play but he kills it every time in all they songs
I'm a first generation Japanese American my mom came to this country two years before I was born in 1968 I grew up in a small New Mexico town in Southern New Mexico near Texas that was predominantly Caucasian. Me and my brothers used to get our ass beat on a regular basis by Caucasians and they would call us gook and spit on us I watch people do it to my own mom. I know every part of this song with my fiber and being Justice will be served Jesus saves. To this day I still live with the anger of that trauma and I'm 52. But I do therapy cardiovascular exercise yoga and strength training, and the most important thing is I educate my kids that even though the violence from racism is gone the trauma isn't because they're still systematic racism.
I love Kings Kaleidoscope live! It’s beautiful! God gave you your gifts for a reason. I would like to see another video like this, but without the rapping.
... You people think everything has the devil in it. No it isn't a devil sign. It looks nothing like the 666 handsign. It's their album cover. If you notice the center is supposed to look like a heart. If it was a 666 handsign these guys wouldn't be making Christian music.
This song definitely relates today.
How many bands could pull off both rap and a legit harp in the same song? Love KingsK.
Amazing, guys!! Love the arrangement. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Rivers & Robots!!! LOVE your Music!!!
How about a collab between you guys?
+100000
Oh, propaganda + Kings + R&R. Amazing!
"the luxury of the option of participation is great right?" that is a well put together line.

Y'all want that anthem music?
Come and get that stand-up music
That Propaganda music
That raise-ya-hand-up music
I told y'all "Be about it"
Y'all like "I tweeted about it
Don't be so mean about it
I'm down to read about it
You flipped a hashtag
You flipped the avi right?
Your fist is in the air
Can't say I'm racist, right?"
A sordid [?] with them
'Cause most don't notice the system
'Til it turn against them, ay
And what it takes is all of me
I'm still not who I'm meant to be
I'm holding back, I just relax
Indulge in insecurities
Livin' a lie, livin' a lie
Apathetic
I'm complicit in the prejudice, it's automatic
I take advantage being born into my demographic
But what's a blessing when it generates a struggle of a color
For the privilege of another?
In my whitewashed tomb
I've become immune
Oh, my God, oh, my God
From my mother's womb
I'm a whitewashed tomb
Oh, my God, oh, my God
And what it takes is all of me
I'm still not who I'm meant to be
I'm holding back, I just relax
Indulge in insecurities
Livin' a lie, livin' a lie
Playin' with fire, playin' with fire
Livin' a lie, playin' with fire
And what it takes is all of me
I'm still not who I'm meant to be
When I react, I just retract
Avoiding all the gravity
Livin' a lie, livin' a lie
Playin' with fire, playin' with fire
Livin' a lie, playin' with fire
Yeah, area codes etched on the layers of epidermis
Over carotid arteries to guarantee its permanence
Removal of it's suicide, at this point it's obvious
Close your browser
In young war zone, lose ya in Fallujah
I hope you find shelter 'fore them goons come bruise ya
And when the homies gain thrones, boy, it ain't no game, bro
I shouldn't how a body goes limp when it hangs, bro
But go'n close your browser
The luxury of the option of participation is great, right?
Man, this a great life
Man, we did something right
And I've struggled with hugging my daughters
Knowing homies who can't no more
And enjoying the time I got
While living in attention of the world's imperfection
Locking in the sovereign reign of the King of All Kings
Trusting He'll make right all things
He'll make right all things
No one is safe from the gods we create
They all turn on us
No one escapes heaven's justice unpaid
Have mercy now
Even I Listen the original audio of this music, you always surprise me when it is in live. I Love you Brother. Please come to Brazil to do this live.

Everything about this is awesome!The vocals, the rapping, the arrangements..everything is top notch..Keep up the great work,guys!!It's a joy & privilege to hear your music..God Bless!!

I know it's been 6 yrs, but I'm curious. Has your method work?

domi marie I disagree. The collaboration is a fresh change.😍😍😍
carbon273 This band was good to begin with though, the voice and the message before was both beautiful and clear in previous albums.
Rapping makes it better
2:50 well...... okay then.... guess that's the end of the song....
Huh?
Ohhhhhh cause if you close your browser it'll stop playing 😂😂 took me a second
ITS AHA :v
3:08 666 hand sign ??? :(
...
You people think everything has the devil in it. No it isn't a devil sign. It looks nothing like the 666 handsign. It's their album cover. If you notice the center is supposed to look like a heart. If it was a 666 handsign these guys wouldn't be making Christian music.
Is he taking the LORD's Name in vain? It just doesn't sound right anyways.
Maybe he’s singing to God with those lines? Still trying to figure out what this song means
