For Such a Time as This (Take One)

{Intro by Badiyah]

Life indeed is a gift
As the seasons change
And the times shift
In heavy days
May your words uplift
As you stand tall
Raising a clenched fist

We are here now
For such a time as this (x3)
We are here now
For such a time as this (x3)
We are here now

Yes I'm spreading some knowledge and wisdom
Some light I will give 'em with this lyricism
Oh yes I will feed 'em and I will not leave 'em
Until they are feeling they're smashing glass ceilings
Right now I am breathing my chest here is heaving
Freely I am giving to people receiving
I'm bobbing and weaving some hooks I am swinging
I'm jabbing and hitting with verses I'm spitting
I'm a poet a travelling griot
From lagos to London all the way to rio
I do not do this for fame or for fortune
But I've blessed with riches that's my portion
My passion is scorching you're feeling the heat
Like you were walking down a lagos street
I'm keeping it moving I'm moving my feet
I'm a travelling man like my name is yasiin
It's rhythm and poetry that's what it is
This art form you must respect it
I'm expressing my perspective
Microphone check 1, 2 check this
Rhythm and poetry living in me
Rhythm and poetry breathing in me
Rhythm and poetry is what I breathe..

For such a time as this (x3)
We are here now
For such a time as this (x3)
We are here now
For such a time as this

As long as I am breathing
Until the day I'm leaving
Through every time and season
We are here now

For such a time as this (x2)
We are here now
For such a time as this (x2)
We are here now
For such a time as this

It's rhythm and poetry that's what it is
This art form you must respect it
I'm expressing my perspective
Microphone check 1, 2 check this
Rhythm and poetry living in me
Rhythm and poetry breathing in me
Rhythm and poetry is what I breathe..

For such a time as this (x3)
We are here now
For such a time as this (x3)
We are here now
For such a time as this
