1
So!
2
In the beginning
3
There was a hum
4
From a poet whose pulse fell
5
Drum drum drum!
6
He would perform prayers and all
7
Till one day he heard a voice call
8
Come come come!
9
Suspicious he moved
10
With vicious caution
11
Dismisses,
12
He thinks is a little often
13
People get held back
14
By the void inside 'em.
15
Yo!
16
The void said,
17
I'm poised to speak inside you
18
"Rejoice then please let me invite you
19
To evil, greed and lies too."
20
Yeah!
21
Confused and dazed
22
He moved in ways
23
He soon became "Hakuna"
24
A knock on his door, his heart is no more
25
A knock on his door, his soul is no more
26
Yeah
27
That was in the beginning
28
As the story goes on
29
So
30
The poets got a proposal
31
He would always hope but never know
32
What it feels
33
To be free.
34
He would be the frozen
35
Imposed as the chosen,
36
All laws oppose him
37
But it would be greed.
38
That's got him there
39
He's power-hungry,
40
And proud too.
41
People don't care, people just care
42
Evil don't care, evil just care
43
Yeah!
44
That was In the beginning
45
There was a hum.
46
Then things changed.
47
They say
48
It is better to light a candle than to curse the dark in the eyes of the youth
49
There are question marks
50
Like freedom.
51
Freedom for the mind and soul,
52
We don't see them.
53
See them for their worth at all,
54
That's why we lead'em
55
Lead'em to these wars
56
And what is it we feed 'em.
57
Feed em our impurities
58
And who it is we treat 'em
59
Treat em like the enemy
60
Humanity will need'em.
61
Need 'em like the blood we spill
62
And we're freedom
63
Freedom for the hearts we fill
64
We mislead 'em.
65
They hunger for the love we give
66
But we cheat 'em.
67
The guys beat him and all he wants
68
Is his freedom,
69
So they defeat him,
70
Whatever spirit hes got.
71
Beat him!
72
And they teach him
73
The rest of the world don't need him
74
And he believes.
75
In the disease that hes heathen
76
Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
77
Put up your fists if all you want is
78
That was in the beginning
79
Then things changed
80
Yeah!
81
And we keep holdin' on,
82
And we keep bein' strong
83
And we keep goin' on
84
And on and on and on
