Own Light (What Hearts Are For) - Brother Ali[00:00:00]

You're not using your heart for[00:00:17]

What hearts are for[00:00:20]

They've been trying to shut us down our whole life[00:00:21]

I thank god for healing[00:00:25]

You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light[00:00:26]

Thank god for listening listen[00:00:30]

You've been trying to build me up my whole life[00:00:32]

I thank god for building[00:00:35]

You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light[00:00:37]

I thank god I'm living[00:00:41]

Sometime I feel like a stranger maybe I ain't from here[00:00:42]

World going crazy how could that be unclear[00:00:45]

Know that I'm a soldier heart's on my battleground[00:00:48]

Sword in the holster had to come back around[00:00:51]

I ain't trying to hide away I just had to meditate[00:00:54]

I ain't got a lot to say but the ancestors may[00:00:56]

Speaking to the whole globe numbers don't occur to me[00:00:59]

You can listen solo 'cause you're the whole world to me[00:01:02]

I jump in with both feet nothing low key[00:01:05]

You can find me where I'm s'posed be where my folks be[00:01:07]

If you listen very closely you know who chose me[00:01:10]

Nothing that I own owns me and so I'm so free[00:01:12]

I remember being hungry needing groceries[00:01:15]

Nighttime getting no sleep 'til my nose bleed[00:01:18]

Got a message to the police[00:01:21]

You're not using your heart for what hearts are for[00:01:22]

They've been trying to shut us down our whole life[00:01:26]

I thank god for healing[00:01:30]

You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light[00:01:31]

Thank god for listening listen[00:01:35]

You've been trying to build me up my whole life[00:01:37]

I thank god for building[00:01:41]

You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light[00:01:42]

I thank god I'm living[00:01:46]

Not for one second I believe what you're telling me[00:01:48]

I know you invented disease and sell the remedy[00:01:51]

Universe is sending me centuries of memories[00:01:53]

So the very breath that I breathe is all I ever need[00:01:56]

I got that Muhammad Ali up in my pedigree[00:01:59]

Yes I be speaking my peace up in my seventies[00:02:02]

Ain't worry bout ya threatening me I'm just being honest[00:02:04]

I ain't buying fear just because it's all you got left[00:02:07]

We just want to make love 'til we wake up[00:02:10]

I believe whoever made us envisioned greatness[00:02:12]

And you know they want to paint us with the same brush[00:02:15]

Wanna interchain us 'til we fill our grave up[00:02:18]

Alright okay but when it's all said and it's all done[00:02:20]

And I look back at the trophies I won[00:02:24]

I will only count one[00:02:26]

I'm using my heart for what hearts are for[00:02:28]

They've been trying to shut us down our whole life[00:02:32]

I thank god for healing[00:02:35]

You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light[00:02:37]

Thank god for listening listen[00:02:41]

You've been trying to build me up my whole life[00:02:43]

I thank god for building[00:02:46]

You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light[00:02:48]

I thank god I'm living[00:02:52]

And I know who I am[00:02:53]

I know whose I am[00:02:54]

On your wings I fly[00:02:56]

And in your shoes I stand[00:02:57]

I'm animated by love I don't move by chance[00:02:59]

Any stage I touch or any place I stand[00:03:01]

There y'all land living in the world as it is[00:03:04]

Cracked vessel I am no more and no less than a man[00:03:07]

Any po-sessions that I have are just in my hand[00:03:10]

I'm balancing the best that I can[00:03:13]

I'm not making no claims but[00:03:15]

I'm using my heart for what hearts are for[00:03:17]

All the beauty in this whole life uh[00:03:21]

I thank god for healing[00:03:24]

And you ain't got to get me lit I got my own light[00:03:26]

I thank god for listening listen[00:03:30]

You've been trying to build me up my whole life[00:03:32]

I thank god for building[00:03:35]

You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light[00:03:37]

I thank god I'm living[00:03:41]

Just reflecting all the beauty in this whole life[00:03:42]
