Voices Of The Voiceless
(专辑: Soundtrack To The Struggle - 2011)
[Lowkey] From West 10 to the
West Bank, I
write righteous rhymes with my right and wrestle the
devil with my left hand, Never work for a
Zionist, never been a
yes man, My art is like Rembrandt painting pictures of death camps, The
average person is allergic to the
words of wisdom, This is for everyone of Saddam's Kurdish murder victims, And all the
pure souls that never had the
chance to speak, Truth pumps in my arteries and causes my heart to beat, For soldiers haunted and tortured by guilty memories, Who realized too late to reveal their real enemy, It's all dead wrong For every victim of racist persecution from Auschwitz to Hebron, My words may sting cowards, For people that were atomized by the
Thermate in the
Twin Towers Those living through the
wars, Ask me what I
do this for, Put the
world in its place before it put you in yours, [Chorus] [Rochelle Rose] What happens under darkness shall come to light, Can't silence us even though you try, [Lowkey] You can try to avoid us but it's pointless You can never avoid the
voices of the
voiceless [Rochelle Rose] Take our freedom, Can't take our pride, Come what may we will survive, [Lowkey] You can try to avoid us but it's pointless, You can never avoid the
voices of the
voiceless [Immortal Technique] Keep my third eye hidden under my New York fitted, A
crazy unmarried man that deserves to be committed, The
future is encrypted in my troubled lyrics, Dream that I've been somewhere for weeks, then wake up in a
couple minutes, Sweat dripping with visions of population control, Thoughts overflowing my world like the
melting of the
North Pole, My people are targeted by military crack committees, So I'm bucking at the
feds like natives in Rapid City, Reality savage, my words are like a
riot in Paris, The
voice of the
voiceless, that voice is social imbalance, So stand strong or sit harder in your mental palace, Blinded inside a
Kingdom united to its old habits, But now, Middle Passage coming, War Chant, African drumming, Gatling gun humming, Rapid fire mechanism, reckless living, That checks the
rhythm of perfectionism, Slave condition, While you're singing God save the
system, [Chorus] [Rochelle Rose] What happens under darkness shall come to light, Can't silence us even though you try, [Lowkey] You can try to avoid us but it's pointless You can never avoid the
voices of the
voiceless [Rochelle Rose] Take our freedom, Can't take our pride, Come what may we will survive, [Lowkey] You can try to avoid us but it's pointless, You can never avoid the
voices of the
voiceless [Lowkey] Detain my body, but you can't imprison my mind, If it's my time I'll probably die with my fist in the
sky, These are the
thoughts of a
man who can't escape from his coma, Cries of a
young virgin girl who got raped by them soldiers, [Immortal Technique] Birthing a
screaming bastard, post colonial nation, Subject to childhood diseases, famine, war and inflation, Education molded you into your masters image, And you forgot who the
f*ck you were before the
war was finished [Lowkey] You're hearing the
ghosts of Nagasaki, you're hearing Hiroshima, Beautiful babies being born with the
weirdest features, You might never see me in the
charts, But Inshallah my seed can see peace in Iraq, [Immortal Technique] But peace and freedom can never be given, That's historically forbidden, cause only collision is the
recipe, Changing the
course of destiny, so I'm strapped with weaponry, [Lowkey & Immortal Technique] 'Cause the
government don't give a
f*ck about protecting me. [Chorus] [Rochelle Rose] What happens under darkness shall come to light, Can't silence us even though you try, [Lowkey] You can try to avoid us but it's pointless You can never avoid the
voices of the
voiceless [Rochelle Rose] Take our freedom, can't take our pride, Come what may we will survive, [Lowkey] You can try to avoid us but it's pointless, You can never avoid the
voices of the
voiceless
