about

‘Now Is The Time’, meanwhile, is about Idehen’s annoyance with his own “armchair activism”. It’s about my “anger at how divided the left sometimes seems, at how capitalism co-opts every progressive advancement and how cynical it has made me,” he explains, and how he felt “torn between doom-scrolling, protesting and voting, and watching everything spiral all the same.”

lyrics

Now is the fucking time
now is the time
now is the fucking time

The icebergs are knocking on the pubs
policemen gripping on their clubs
white noise drowning out the dub
white rage drowning out the love
Black dogs frothing at the mouth’
summer but the birds head south
stallions chomping at the bit
Don’t like this kinda future one bit

I see the black boys dead on the telly
I see the black boys dead on the telly
I see the black men crawling on the belly
I see the black men crawling on the belly
I see the devil, with the phone taking selfie
he got his arms spread wide who will test me

Don’t like this kinda future dislike
Now is that fucking time,

You say you want a revolution but the rent is rude
can the revolution set you up with brand new shoes
Is it a revolution if you heard from the news
Are there many revolutions
can I pick and choose
