The newest single from the Forward LP by Jay DECOSTA Peele (featuring Norwood Fisher & John Stewart (FISHBONE), Jay O'Keefe, Daniel Johnson, & Jerome Vereen)

lyrics

Place your burdens in the breeze

Set ‘em down, be at ease

I’m free to think if I want to and I want to

I’m free to speak my mind if I want to (sometimes I do)
I’m free to think if I want to and I want to, yes I do
You’re free to speak your mind (sometimes I do)

So why don’t I just hide behind the future
Hide behind future (yeah yeah)

I know that times are changing
So I’m re-arranging and I can’t go staging lies

So why don’t I just hide behind the future
Hide behind the future (yeah yeah)

Hey, it’s the greatest day of the year
If you snooze, you’re losing
Place your fear up in the breeze
It’s the greatest day of the year right now
It keeps on going, It don’t have to start at midnight
It starts right now
Set your clock when you understand the time is now
(All I’m saying) You may as well do it now before you’re praying about
Staying out of your grave because you are sick and dying
And you know they are lying
What will you do? Just tell yourself it’s true?
It’s the greatest day of the year right now
The time is now

So why don’t I just hide behind the future
Hide behind the future (yeah yeah)

Foolish haters, watch ‘em skate
Slip and fall right through the ice
In the end, love is the answer
What’s wrong with you child?
Always crying wolf
Is it all the problems in the world?
Is it something in your heart?
Where will you be tomorrow?
Get that fresh start
Come on now, set it down
Place your burdens in the breeze
Or carry that weight on your back
Just set it down and be at ease (yeah, yeah)
Set it down and be at ease
Place your burdens in the breeze
Set ‘em down

Be at ease
