Incognito Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we take the time, then we will see
Smoke means there`s a fire
So we live and learn to understand
Recognizing the danger
(and) Throwin' out a lifeline if we`re able
Gather inspiration
Together in a harvest of the free
[Chorus:]
Get up, `cos the time has come
You`d better believe, that it will be done
You can`t make pretend it`s and illusion
Get up, `cos the time has come
You better believe, that it will be done
The reason bein` life is not a dream
We`re all witness
To the politics, of life and survival
New day is comin`
Every woman, every man will be as one
Can`t stop tryin` like a mother
To give her child a better life if she`s able
Keep on fightin`
Believin` every word to be a song of freedom
[Chorus]
In these lyrics, Incognito speaks about how all things have meaning, and how we can understand the world around us if we take the time to observe it. The metaphor that smoke means there is fire demonstrates how our surroundings provide us with cues to help us make sense of what is happening. We live and learn to comprehend the dangers that exist, and when we discover them, it is our responsibility to throw out a lifeline if we have the chance. Together, we can find inspiration and create a world that is free from the constraints that hold us back.
The chorus of this song urges us to rise up and take action because the time has come for us to create a better world. We cannot fool ourselves by pretending that everything is alright - we need to confront the reality of our existence and work towards a better future. Life is not a dream, and we have a responsibility to strive for what is right.
The second verse of this song speaks to our shared experiences as human beings, and the struggles that we all face. We are witnesses to the politics of life and survival, but we can always look forward to a new day. Incognito emphasizes that every person will stand as one, regardless of our differences. Like a mother who fights to give her child a better life, we must continue to fight for what is fair, striving for freedom and equality for all.
