I weren’t there but I’m sure Dessalines said it |
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 |
