[Verse 1:]
|
Another war another martyr revered,
|
Passed the fear from their fathers then it's lasting for years,
|
Bullets don't discriminate the skin colour they pierce,
|
We speak the same language brother; love, laughter and tears,
|
Refugees trading death for a prison,
|
While some base a set of opinions on race, sex or religion,
|
C'mon, enough day to day stress of just living,
|
Without giving a fuck if they're hated just cause you're different,
|
Let's do it under the name of the love that became lost,
|
Dress it up how you want, we're cut from the same cloth,
|
Scars of hate, frowns stitched to our faces,
|
Can't escape the cage we forge, we've got bars to break,
|
For those living every bit of the struggle,
|
Given to hustle trying to figure how they fit in the puzzle,
|
Cause right now we're in pieces and peace is the people as one,
|
Till then we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I am, you are, we are one,
|
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
|
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
|
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
|
I am, you are, we are one,
|
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
|
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
|
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
|
|
[Verse 2: Chali 2na]
|
Media is teaching the young, debate about belief in the one,
|
Can make an eight-year soldier fall asleep with a gun,
|
While tax mans hands deep in your funds, raping your ones,
|
Money tight like we tweaking the drums it's like we speaking in tongues,
|
But no book burnings or church sermons,
|
I surf currents, my words burn like a dirt furnace,
|
Confusion leads and anguish sells,
|
But this music succeeds where even language fails,
|
To convey free honest expression,
|
It's a problem trying to get people to acknowledge progression,
|
My goal is to leave a lasting iconic impression,
|
Controlling crowds like demonic possession and ain't no time to invest in,
|
Biting the hand that created the platform,
|
Attaching pseudo patriotic crap to a rap song,
|
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one,
|
And yet we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come,
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I am, you are, we are one,
|
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
|
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
|
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
|
I am, you are, we are one,
|
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
|
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
|
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
|
|
[Verse 3: Suffa]
|
I would never,
|
Hate someone for the way they display love for someone else,
|
(And if you do)
|
The blame comes from the weight of the way that you see yourself,
|
Take some of the weight off your plate by taking the hate away,
|
And then maybe you'll make your way to start loving yourself
|
Fear's a cancer logic is a countermeasure,
|
A property that you can't count or measure,
|
I got a problem with people who got a problem with,
|
The way that other people wanna live a¢æ¡° that's their prerogative,
|
They're mad at how you love, where your prayers are going,
|
Their anger's like a drug, they're mad at where you from,
|
But fuck a redneck checking if your visa's valid,
|
They act like pigs and chickens I'm sick of Ceaser salad,
|
So we seize the mallet, and we swing on the ignorant,
|
Can't speak our language? Then we'll see if you can sing in it,
|
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one,
|
And yet we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I am, you are, we are one,
|
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
|
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
|
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
|
I am, you are, we are one,
|
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
|
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
|
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so |
