Verse 1
I don’t wanna die
I don’t wanna go out like that
I don’t wanna kill
Just to stay alive
Every single day
Always gotta watch what I say
Aint no where to run
Aint no where to hide
Pounding down my door
Still you wanna make me watch more
blood is in my eye
clotting up my mind
Hate is on the climb
Fear is hunting We won't turn back
Fury that’s unknown
If you aint in the fight
Chorus
You can’t criticize
Our lives from the outside
You can’t fantasize
the fight to withstand
you can’t conceptualize
400 years of demise
you can’t give back those lives
we want promised land
Verse 2
War up in the streets
Battle of the minds
War waged by the state
alliegance undefined
in the darkest times
Beast with many eyes
watching me
Fuck the fucking state
peaking through our minds
And Fuck the Fucking Pigs
and each and every sideline fascists
yea we on the rise
cause we aint afraid to fight
getting unified
cause this time it’s do or die
They can’t criticize
Our lives from the outside
They can’t fantasize
the fight to withstand
They can’t conceptualize
400 years of demise
They can’t give back those lives
we'll take promised land
You can’t criticize
Our lives from the outside
You won't fetishize
the fight to withstand
you can’t conceptualize
400 years of demise
you can’t give back those lives
we want promised land

They do well to unsee
people like we
living under siege
scorned
I can’t live on my knees
My speech on the breeze
my stories don’t leave
home
The fortunate sons
they hide from the sun
deceived with false claims of property
magic secrecy
and trickery
the only small axe for community
I’m entitled more than this life inside
some talking heads lie
It’s not black and white
can I reply
I’d tell my life
but I aint got not mic
they can hear
I’m entitled more than this life inside
some talking heads lie
my one desire
to tell my side
before I die
but I aint got no mic they can hear
There’s no “them” with out us
How come they don’t see
all the memories
torn
Father’s used to be
regarded like we
from lands overseas
worn
When the workers aint run
they stood to the gun
believed we could stand in unity
once we started to bleed
their skin served the need
to trade that stand for security
___
Millions of voices
tryna learn to harmonize
but if you can’t those ties
to old times
you can’t tell allies
from the lies
We need the whole floor
we don’t need your heavy eyes
see us as complete human beings
and we all wanna live dignified
and we all just want to survive
____
I just wanna grow can't I?
I just wanna know aint I
worked it to the bone?
What claim they have to own?
Fuck that
I just want a home, can I?
I just wanna know, can I?
Can't just fight alone, can I?
Can I?

AND IT'S ALL OUT HERE
AND IT'S ALL I HEAR
AND IT'S SOUL OUT HERE
IT AINT SOLD OUT HERE
CAUSE WE ARE OUT HERE
AND WE ALL ROUND HERE
AND WE BEEN OUT HERE
YEA WE BEEN OUT HERE
(repeat)
I fight to hope to stay a place you aint no lord of of this land (repeat)
I fight to hope to stay a place there aint lord in this land (repeat)
I fight to hope to stay a place still forced from this stolen land
I fight to hope to stay a place there aint lord in this land (repeat)

Holy collision
purge, committed to burn the pitted against my life
we breaking crowns beat the ground
make it flat
and we'll enjoy your views
Shango
please lend your everlasting end of active
spirit smashing
how to few burn their sacred light
just leave us be we could be peaceful but your fuckers pop us
we say we see you in the streets but then you fuckers stop it
you won't put down those guns and shoot these ones you need to drop it
these cowards wanna stop us moving, clocking hours but
Be free right now
Be free
Be free
Be free right now
We call upon the past and present, future transcendental
codex keepers,
teaching our fathers
how to keep our martyrs in our hears
teaching our daughters and sons
the lessons of our grand mothers
they walk us steady through this constant night
they say
Be free right now
Be free
Be free
Be free right now

ow we all know
Verse 1
Let go let god stay high
let better men decide
how can freedom arrive
if it’s never let inside
our hearts our mind
our choice our lives
we must have bigger eyes
make our portions family size (3X)
Now we’ve been shown
for our skin tone targets we be
seeds have been sown
now the trees bleed
live on the news feed
Leave us alone
can we just breathe
taking our homes
where do we sleep
so we throw stones
at the police
who will stand here and bleed with me
Their fortune on the rise
our backs commodified
our hands the grope to find
some hold that doesn’t slide
Still born, All lies
No dream for mine
The clamp is closing tight
I know you realize (3X)
Now we all know...
for our skin tone targets we be
seeds have been sown
now the trees bleed
live on the news feed
Leave us alone
can we just breathe
pay what you owe
the rest, yo, you could keep
but be forewarned but be forewarned...
The fortress walls are high
mirages in sky
convictions unified
is courage for the climb
For what they’ve built
aint deified
They’re more afraid than us
but our fear they hide behind
Now we all know...
for our skin tone targets we be
seeds have been sown
now the trees bleed
live on the news feed
Leave us alone
can we just breathe
the rest, yo, you could keep
but be forewarned but be forewarned
We will come, we will come when the students organize
we will come, we will come when the workers rise up and strike
we will come, we will come when the people wake up and fight
we will come, we will come we will come a sizeable side
Which are you on??
Be forewarned before we bring this war to your door
