[00:23.20]Turn my mic up louder, I've got to say something
[00:25.41]Lightweights stepping aside when we come in
[00:27.65]Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumpin
[00:29.89]People on the street, they panic and start running
[00:32.32]Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
[00:34.56]Jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumpin
[00:36.80]I'm healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
[00:39.22]Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
[00:41.49]Jump when they tell us that they want to see jump
[00:43.55]Fuck that, I want to see some fists pumpin
[00:46.00]I missed something, take back what's yours
[00:48.24]Say something that you know they might attack you for
[00:50.30]'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
[00:52.50]Like I'm stupid standing for what I'm standing for
[00:55.02]Like this war's really just a different brand of war
[00:57.20]Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
[00:59.66]Like they understand you in the back of the jet
[01:02.02]When you can't put gas in your tank
[01:03.73]These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank
[01:05.63]And cashing their check, asking you
[01:07.00]To have compassion and have some respect
[01:08.65]For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
[01:10.98]Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[01:13.32]The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[01:15.68]In the living room, laughing, like, what did he say?
[01:17.88]
[01:18.16]Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen...
[01:35.68]Amen...
[01:39.38]
[01:41.01]In my living room, watching, but I am not laughing
[01:43.81]'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
[01:46.11]The world is cold, and bold men take action
[01:48.38]Have to react or get blown into fractions
[01:50.65]Ten years old, and something to see
[01:52.96]Is another kid my age drugged under a jeep
[01:55.07]Taken abound and found later under a tree
[01:57.34]I wonder if he thought the next one could be me
[01:59.58]Do you see? The soldiers that are out today
[02:01.95]That brush the dust with bullet proof vests away
[02:04.22]It's ironic, at times like this you pray
[02:06.49]But a bomb blew tha mosque up yesterday
[02:08.85]There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
[02:11.37]Inside your market, your shops, your clothes
[02:13.58]My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know
[02:15.73]But enough pride inside not to let that show
[02:17.97]My brother had a book he would hold with pride
[02:20.36]A little red cover with a broken spine
[02:22.51]In the back, he hand wrote a quote inside
[02:24.87]'When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die'
[02:27.11]Meanwhile, their leader just talks away
[02:29.29]Stuttering and mumbling for Nightly News to replay
[02:31.62]The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[02:34.11]Both scared and angry, like, "what did he say?"
[02:36.26]
[02:36.51]Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen...
Amen...
[02:55.17]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[02:59.61]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:04.09]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:08.63]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:13.11]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:17.87]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:31.75][03:22.29]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:36.47][03:27.17]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:40.24]
