What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Turn my mic up louder,
2
I got to say something.
3
Lightweights stepping aside,
4
When we come in.
5
Feel it in your chest,
6
The syllables get pumping.
7
People on the street,
8
They panic and start running.
9
Words on loose leaf,
10
Sheet complete coming.
11
I jump on my mind,
12
I summon the rhyme I'm dumping.
13
Healing the blind,
14
I promise to let the sun in.
15
Sick of the dark ways,
16
We march to the drumming.
17
Jump when they tell us
18
They want to see jumping.
19
Fuck that, I want to
20
See some fist pumping.
21
Risk something.
22
Take back what's yours
23
Say something that you know
24
They might attack you for
25
Cause I'm sick of being treated
26
Like I had before.
27
Like it's stupid standing for
28
What I'm standing for.
29
Like this war is really just
30
A different brand of war.
31
Like it doesn't cater the rich
32
And an abandon the poor.
33
Like they understand you
34
In the back of the jet,
35
When you can't put gas in your tank.
36
These fuckers are laughing their way
37
To the bank and cashing their cheque
38
Asking you to have compassion and to have some respect.
39
For a leader so nervous
40
In an obvious way
41
Stuttering and mumbling
42
For nightly news to replay
43
And the rest of the world
44
Watching at the end of the day
45
In the living room laughing
46
Like what did he say?
47
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
48
In my living room watching,
49
But I am not laughing.
50
Cause when it gets tense,
51
I know what might happen.
52
The world is cold,
53
The bold men take action.
54
Have to react,
55
Or get blown into fractions.
56
10 years old is something to see,
57
Another kid my age drugged under a jeep,
58
Taken and bound and found later under a tree,
59
I wonder if he thought the "next one could be me".
60
Do you see?
61
The soldiers they're out today.
62
That brush the dust from bulletproof vests away.
63
It's ironic,
64
At times like this you pray,
65
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday.
66
There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads,
67
Inside your markets, your shops, your clothes,
68
My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know
69
But enough pride inside not to let that show.
70
My brother had a book he would hold with pride
71
A little red cover with a broken spine.
72
In the back he hand wrote a quote inside,
73
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.
74
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
75
Stuttering and mumbling
76
For nightly news to replay
77
And the rest of the world
78
Watching at the end of the day
79
Both scared and angry
80
Like what did he say?
81
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.

83
Into a sky so blue
84
As the ocean opens up
85
To swallow you.

To swallow you.
98
With Hands Held High
99
Into a sky so blue
100
As the ocean opens up
101
To swallow you.
102
With Hands Held High
103
Into a sky so blue
104
As the ocean opens up
105
To swallow you.
