[00:23.200]Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
[00:25.410]Lightweights step it aside when we come in
[00:27.650]Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
[00:29.890]People on the street, they panic and start running
[00:32.320]Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
[00:34.560]I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme I'm dumping
[00:36.800]Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
[00:39.220]Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and
[00:41.790]Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
[00:43.850]F/uck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
[00:46.300]Risk something, take back what's yours
[00:48.540]Say something that you know they might attack you for
[00:50.600]Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
[00:52.800]Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
[00:55.320]Like this war's really just a different brand of war
[00:57.500]Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
[00:59.960]Like they understand you in the back of the jet
[01:03.220]When you can't put gas in your tank
[01:04.630]These f/uckers are laughing their way to the bank
[01:06.530]And c/ashing the check asking you
[01:07.900]to have compassion and have some respect
[01:09.550]For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
[01:11.880]Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[01:14.220]And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[01:16.580]In the living room, laughing like, what did he say?
[01:19.060]Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen...
[01:36.580]Amen...
[01:41.910]In my living room watching, but I am not laughing
[01:45.010]Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
[01:47.310]The world is cold, and bold men take action
[01:49.580]Have to react or get blown into fractions
[01:51.850]Ten years old, it's something to see
[01:54.160]Another kid my age drug under a jeep
[01:56.270]Taken and bound, and found later under a tree
[01:58.540]I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me
[02:00.780]Do you see? The soldiers, they're out today
[02:03.150]They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
[02:05.420]It's ironic, at times like this you pray
[02:07.690]But a bomb blew tha mosque up yesterday
[02:10.050]There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
[02:12.570]Inside your market, your shops, your clothes
[02:14.780]My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know
[02:16.930]But enough pride inside not to let that show
[02:19.470]My brother had a book he would hold with pride
[02:21.860]A little red cover with a broken spine
[02:24.010]On the back, he hand wrote a quote inside:
[02:26.370]"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
[02:28.610]Meanwhile, their leader just talks away
[02:30.790]Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
[02:33.120]The rest of the world watching at the end of the day
[02:35.610]Both scared and angry like, what did he say?
[02:38.010]Amen... Amen... Amen... Amen...
[02:56.670]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:01.110]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:05.590]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:10.130]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:14.610]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:19.370]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:23.790]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:28.670]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
[03:33.250]With hands held high into a sky so blue
[03:37.970]As the ocean opens up to swallow you
