Turn my mic up louder, turn up the mic volume
I got to say somethin. I have something to say
Light weight step it aside, gently Avoid it
When we comin. Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumpin. Feel it in your chest Syllables
People on the street, people on the street
They panic and start running. They fled in terror
Words on loose leaf, every word on the loose leaf Words
sheet complete coming. Each sheet appears before my eyes
I jump on my mind, I rack my brains
I summon the rhyme of dumping. Let Chaos rhythm clarity
Feeling the blind, blind feeling
I promise to let the sun in. I promise to see the sun
Sick of the dark ways, hate ignorant practices
we march to the drumming. We march to the drumming. Jump when they tell us ignore what they say
They want to see jumping. They want to see our changes
F*** that, I want to go to hell
see some fist pumping. I just want to see me The first feeling
Risk something. Dare to take risks
Take backwards yours
Say something that you know
They might attack you for
cause I'm sick of being treated I hate being treated like this
like I have before. Same as before
Like a stupid standing for like a fool
what I'm standing for.What do I symbolize?
Like this war is really just Like a just war
a different brand of war. A different brand of war
Like a dozen catered rich Like a bunch of well-fed and clothed rich people
p>
and an abandoned poor.
Like they understand you
in the back of the jet, in the jet After
When you can't put gas in your tank. When you can't refill the tank
These f***ers are laughing their way
to the bank and cashing their check
asking you to have compassion and to have some respect.ask you to have some compassion and respect.
For a leader so nervous a nervous leader
in unobvious ways
Stuttering and mumbling stuttering and talking to oneself
for nightly news to replay news that is repeated every night
and the rest of the world The survivors of the world
watching at the end of the day watching the end of the day
in the living room laughing laughter echoing in the room
like what did he say? like Is it the same as what he said in the past
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen
In my living room watching, looking from my room
But I am not laughing. I can't laugh out loud
'Cause when it gets tense, because things are getting worse
I know what might happen. Something could happen
The world is cold, this cold world
The bold men take action. The brave men take action
Have to react, Have to resist
To get blown into fractions. Get a moment of respite
10 years old is something to see, look at those 10-year-old children
Another kid my age drugged under a G, a kid my age drugged under a G, taking about and found later under a tree, they found the letter under the tree
I wonder if he thought the next one could be me. I wonder if he thought the next one could be me.
Do you see?
The soldiers that are out today. Those soldiers who are far away from us
That brush the dust with bulletproof vests away. Gently sweep away the dust on the bulletproof vests
It's ironic.
At times like this you pray, you pray from time to time
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday. But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday.
There's b
ombs in the buses, bikes, roads, inside your markets, your shops, your coves
My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know dad, I know how much fear he faced
but enough pride inside to let that show. But inside I faced all this with pride
My brother had a book he would hold with pride My brother had a book with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine. A little red cover with a broken spine
In the back he hand wrote a quote inside, at the end of the book he wrote a quote
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die. It's the people who suffer when politicians start wars
and the rest of the world the survivors
watching at the end of the day watching the end of the day
both scared and angry fear and anger
like what did he say? Like what he said in the past
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen. Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen
