"Modern Time" lyrics - MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO

You can stop
Wanting
You can stop
Wanting

You can stop
Wanting
You can stop
Wanting

Betwixt and between the things
That you have not yet discovered
Let it carry you and me
Over the river then wash us down
Lift us out of this thrashing life
I want out of rat on top of rat
I'll race you down to the water

You can stop
Wanting
The good life
You can stop
Darkness
You can stop
Light
You can stop
Health
You can stop
Wanting
The good life
Wanting
Low low down
When the farmer harvest the rice she go

Low low down
Low low down
Low low down

I want my sons to know
Sweet joy
I want my sons to know
Sorrow
Both bring pain to most
So please remember
You can't stop
You can't stop
You can't stop
You can't stop
You can't stop
