We Be |
I look at the moon so full and so bright |
And then at the fireplace with it flickering light |
And realised why this world would never be right |
Then I through another lump on the fire |
We be, uh huh |
We be, hmm hmm |
We be |
Travelling down the highway of the enemy |
We be |
Joining the endless convoy of cultural hegemony |
We be |
Missing the forest for the trees 'cause |
We can’t see the evils that men do on TV |
In the movies, overseas and right here on our streets |
We be |
Opting for vain glory over humility |
We need, we need to break the convoy line |
Get the hell off the highway |
Take the road less travelled |
'Cause that moral fiber you thought was so tightly woven |
It’s unravelling, it’s unravelled |
I hate to tell y’all, it’s unravelled |
Why do you insist on keeping us caged |
You know all that does intensified rage |
The world know this is the time |
And all power to the people |
Power to the people |
We be |
Say, I’m standing on my soapbox again |
Say, I’m one of those conscious artist |
Talking that «change the world» shit again |
Say, I might be just a bit too dramatic |
Slash overzealous about what I see |
As the human spirit’s dive into uncertainty |
Say what you like, say what you like |
'Cause I’ll be all those things you say |
All night and all day |
Before I allow myself and soul |
To wither away into, indistinctness |
Live a half-life of blissfull ignorance |
Never take another chance, another chance |
Do the latest dance with the devil |
And lose my dreams for all we could be |
Lose my dreams for all we could be |
We be |
Why do you insist on keeping us caged |
You know all that does intensified rage |
The world know this is the time |
And all power to the people |
Power to the people |
We be |
Many, so many |
Many, like the number of death threats |
That now come used to get |
We be |
Many, oh so many |
Many, like the multitude of souls lost in the wars of men |
Over gold, over power, over die and hate |
We be |
Many, so so many |
Many, like the lies of pell the truth |
The coward lies of profits and power bungers |
Told to a cryer faith |
To steal land to oppressed people |
We be, the oppressed peoples |
We be |
We be |
Why can’t we be |
More peaceful |
Why can’t we be |
Nicer to one another |
Why can’t we be |
We be |
What we were meant to be |
Love |
Why do you insist on keeping us caged |
You know all that does intensified rage |
The world know this is the time |
And all power to the people |
Power to the people |
We be |
We be, uh huh, hmm, hmm |
