|
| If you ain’t found something to die for
|
| If you ain’t found something to die for, you’ll never live
|
| If you ain’t found something to die for you’ll never live
|
| We might feed and breathe but we never did
|
| Accept those with peace and equality
|
| They don’t see what we call authority
|
| Live, speak truth and kill them for
|
| We love them dead when they speak no more
|
| But they will endure, ideas are bulletproof
|
| Tooth of truth it’s impossible to pull it loose
|
| We smother any mouth, they utter it
|
| Folly Fathers fear, we Mother it
|
| We’re lovin they’re corrupt government
|
| So we look the other way when in our name they’re strugglin'
|
| We idolize 'em and we despise 'em
|
| Cos we’re reminded we’re the ones who are silent
|
| So, give a moment for the times we were blinded
|
| Scream at the top of your lungs like a siren
|
| Maybe the wise man has nothin' to prove
|
| But the one who has nothing has nothing to lose
|
| More things we don’t need will make more thieves
|
| More laws we don’t heed it’s all Siamese
|
| Who leads? |
| It don’t matter, they can’t make change
|
| New driver but we got no brakes
|
| Whatever the place, whatever the face
|
| The master never ever frees his slave
|
| They always knew it
|
| So they pursue it
|
| But we’ve been too divided to ever be guided through it
|
| Gotta stop 'em because they’re rotton from the days of picking cotton
|
| To sell us a love song and we’re so besotted
|
| So confused, we believe their promise
|
| But there are some that lead more honest
|
| They are not forgotten, though they shot’em
|
| So scream to the top of your lungs right from the bottom!

|
| People don’t rebel, the rebels are the tyrants
|
| You are not God, so we are not defying
|
| No human nature, just our behavior
|
| The oppressed wanting their oppressor as their saviour
|
| Around the globe killin', made to be religion
|
| But the book said they’re sinnin'
|
| And that is just the beginnin'
|
| Now spread democracy by dropping a bomb
|
| On a terrorist with no shoes or socks
|
| I reckon, history teaches us a lesson
|
| The bigger terrorist is the one with the bigger weapons
|
| They talked but we didn’t listen
|
| They spoke and then went missin'
|
| We can’t see all the things that imprison us
|
| Cos we don’t appreciate the freedoms that they have given us
|
| I wouldn’t bet it, that we ever get it
|
| Run, tell your friends that Akala said it
|
