G-Natural - How I Resist Lyrics

I don't march in the streets, but I pump my fist, and then
Assess my opportunity to assist
'Cause where two or three are gathered, God is in the midst, and that's
How I resist

I don't get a lot of retweets, I get results, and show
Respect to opponents as well as my folks
Kinda broke in my wallet but my spirit is rich
And that's how I resist

November 8, 2016 was a dark day
And in the Resistance, we circled the start date
And starting trackin' 45's every remark made
And fact checking all the shady ways that he got paid

And we was marching, protestin'
Black Twitter was everybody's new best friend
Every invite to turn up, we answered the call, but yo
When I say "we" I really mean y'all

'Cause I'm always busy with thangs to do
Too many projects to finish, or continue, sometimes i'm
Feelin' too diffident to become a true dissident, tragedy
Is imminent when I'm feelin' cognitive dissonance

From all the militant progressives to date
When we pigeonhole, we become the people we hate
Who radiate the same disdain for Barack Hussein
That motivated them to fall for a fraudulent fake, and make

No mistake, that won't make America great
All it's gonna do is seal America's fate
To make our conversations hopelessly partisan
And frustrate the effort to turn the country back to God again

But yo a heart of sin is something I can guard against
And building bridges, it takes more than common sense
It takes intentionality as a habit
So when somebody does a mic drop, I get up and grab it

I don't march in the streets, but I pump my fist, and then
Assess my opportunity to assist
'Where two or three are gathered, God is in the midst, and that's
How I resist

I don't get a lot of retweets, I get results, and show
Respect to opponents as well as my folks
Showin' love to my spouse and preparing for kids, yo that's...
And that's... How I resist

If you wanna guard against losing Facebook arguments
Every time you go online (Online)
If you start to feel alone stop scrolling through your phone and just
Pay attention to me one time (One time)

If you're no longer enthralled banging your head against the wall in every
Conversation that's about race (About race)
If you're tired of the pollution then here's an easy solution, don't
Argue with 'em in the first place

Not sayin' do not speak up, but you ain't gotta keep up
With every troll that's wants to engage (Engage)
You ain't gotta block 'em but if the truth will not stop 'em
Ain't no need to be no Luke Cage (Luke Cage)

Conversation ain't gotta be a zero-sum game, if you're
Patient, the monotony will drive 'em insane, and
If you listen to what racist people gotta say, you ain't
Gotta argue 'cause their ignorance is plain as day

Open your head to what Malcolm said, or even better
Luke 6:42, read the red letter
Don't worry bout the dirty glass or the wooden beam
Remove your own speck, make sure YOUR glass is clean

Not trynna tone police, or be judgmental
But for me this approach has been instrumental
I try to show with my life a better way, don't
Need a protest, 'cause I resist every day, I don't

I don't march in the streets, but I pump my fist, and then
Assess my opportunity to assist
'Where two or three are gathered, God is in the midst, and that's
How I resist

I don't get a lot of retweets, I get results, and show
Respect to opponents as well as my folks
Keep my faith, love my race, and be givin' them fits, yo that's
How I resist

I don't march in the streets, but I pump my fist, and then
Assess my opportunity to assist
'Where two or three are gathered, God is in the midst, and that's
How I resist

I don't get a lot of retweets, I get results, and show
Respect to opponents as well as my folks
Loving God and my neighbor, it comes down to this, 'cause that's
How I resist, so that's... How I resist, I'm sayin...
It's how I resist
