Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
How I speak may not be the way you like
But that don't mean you know about my life
You say I have no home
But I, I'm free to roam
It's that black boy joy
Here to console a broken world of politics
That keep a brother fucked around
Take a pound of flesh and leave nothing left
Just an object in decay
I'm out here running out of days
But you have to recognize the love that should be televised
On your screen, on your iPhone
Never realized that this spirit of mine
Won't ever be compromised
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
It's that Black girl magic
It's that see through hazard
Transparent, past parent
Drop you like a bad habit
This dang habit, on that 2020
See that vision though, cut throat
It's like the industry
See-through business though
Emperor's got no clothes
This the life you chose
This the cards they dealt
Fuck the feeling felt
Fell from heaven past eleven o'clock
I held a note, slap a booty cheek
Make sure she can speak, vernacular
When the old came to replace my soul
I let 'em know
We not gonna do this shit no more
This life a bore
And it's evident I think it's irrelevant
That's the evidence
I've come through just to show off my eminence and in my defense (I)
I heard it from the grapevine (I)
I heard it from the grapevine (I)
I heard it from the grapevine (I, I, I)
How I speak may not be the way you like
But that don't mean you know about my life
You say I have no home
But I, I'm free to roam
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
Ah, rebel time, rebel time, rebel time, time
