Hands Held High

Turn my mic up louder,
I got to say something.
Lightweight step it aside,
When we coming.
Feel it in your chest,
The syllables get pumping.
People on the street,
They panic and start running.
Words on loose leaf,
Sheet complete coming.
I jump on my mind,
And summon the rhyme i'm dumping.
Healing the blind,
I promise to let the sun in.
Sick of the dark ways,
We march to the drum and
Jump when they tell us
They wanna see jumping.
Fuck that, I wanna
See some fist pumping.
Risk something.
Take back what's yours
Say something that you know
They might attack you for
Cause I'm sick of being treated
Like I have before.
Like I'ts stupid standing for
What I'm standing for.
Like this war's really just
A different brand of war.
Like it doesn't cater to rich
And abandon poor.
Like they understand you
In the back of the jet,
When you can't put gas in your tank.
And these fuckers are laughing their way
To the bank cashing the check
Asking you to have compassion have some respect.

For a leader so nervous
In an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing
Like what did he say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

In my living room watching,
But I am not laughing.
'Cause when it gets tense,
I know what might happen.
The world is cold,
The bold men take action.
Have to react,
Or get blown into fractions.
10 years old is something to see,
Another kid my age dragged under a jeep,
Taken and bound and found later under a tree,
I wonder if he thought the next one could be me.
Do you see?
The soldiers they are out today.
They brush the dust with bulletproof vests away.
It's ironic.
At times like this you pray,
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday.
There are bombs in the buses, bikes, roads,
Inside your markets,your shops, your coves,
My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show.
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine.
On the back he hand wrote a quote inside:
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.

Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry
Like what do we say?

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.

With hands held high
Into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up
To swallow you.(X6)
