| [00:23.13] |
Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something |
| [00:25.63] |
Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in |
| [00:28.11] |
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping |
| [00:30.28] |
People on the street then panic and start running |
| [00:32.55] |
Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming |
| [00:34.78] |
I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping |
| [00:37.18] |
Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in |
| [00:39.34] |
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming |
| [00:41.74] |
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping |
| [00:44.07] |
F*ck that, I wanna see some fists pumping |
| [00:46.31] |
List something, take back what's yours |
| [00:48.58] |
Say something that you know they might attack you for |
| [00:50.79] |
'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before |
| [00:53.09] |
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for |
| [00:55.20] |
Like this war's really just a different brand of war |
| [00:57.63] |
Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor |
| [00:59.91] |
Like they understand you, in the back of their jet |
| [01:02.34] |
When you can't put gas in your tank, these fu*kers |
| [01:04.74] |
Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check |
| [01:06.94] |
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect |
| [01:09.25] |
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way |
| [01:11.48] |
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay |
| [01:13.68] |
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day |
| [01:15.96] |
In the living room, laughing like, 'What did he say?' |
| [01:18.28] |
|
| [01:19.45] |
Amen |
| [01:22.15] |
Amen |
| [01:26.67] |
Amen |
| [01:31.42] |
Amen |
| [01:36.00] |
Amen |
| [01:39.72] |
|
| [01:42.40] |
In my living room watching it, I am not laughing |
| [01:43.99] |
'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen |
| [01:46.20] |
The world is cold, the bold men take action |
| [01:48.61] |
Have to react or get blown into fractions |
| [01:50.92] |
At 10 years old, it's something to see |
| [01:53.17] |
Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep |
| [01:55.27] |
Taken and bound and found later under a tree |
| [01:57.52] |
I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me |
| [01:59.86] |
Do you see the soldiers that are out today? |
| [02:02.19] |
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away |
| [02:04.40] |
It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray |
| [02:06.71] |
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday |
| [02:08.90] |
There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads |
| [02:11.66] |
Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes |
| [02:13.87] |
My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know |
| [02:16.10] |
But enough pride inside not to let that show |
| [02:18.35] |
My brother had a book he would hold with pride |
| [02:20.68] |
A little red cover with a broken spine on the back |
| [02:23.01] |
He hand-wrote a quote inside, |
| [02:25.31] |
'When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die' |
| [02:27.81] |
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away |
| [02:29.98] |
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay |
| [02:32.33] |
The rest of the world watching at the end of the day |
| [02:34.61] |
Both scared and angry, like 'What did he say?' |
| [02:37.14] |
|
| [02:37.33] |
Amen |
| [02:40.54] |
Amen |
| [02:45.10] |
Amen |
| [02:49.75] |
Amen |
| [02:54.37] |
Amen |
| [02:55.62] |
|
| [02:55.77] |
With hands held high into the skies above |
| [03:00.71] |
The ocean opens up to swallow you (*6) |
