Philistine David - Brother Ali[00:00:00]

I stand tall I raise my fists[00:00:20]

I pray all this pain might lift[00:00:22]

I don't want to die tonight[00:00:25]

But I can't live another day like this[00:00:27]

I stand tall I raise my fists[00:00:30]

I pray all this pain might lift[00:00:32]

I don't want to die tonight[00:00:35]

But I can't live another day like this[00:00:36]

The first time I ever broke the law[00:00:39]

Was just being born in a zone that's controlled by y'all[00:00:41]

A foreigner in my own damn home land[00:00:44]

Made me a sixteen year old grown man[00:00:46]

I was aged by the pain that I saw[00:00:49]

Outside my front door was the front line of a war[00:00:51]

Shots gets fired I cry on the floor[00:00:54]

Underneath my bed tryin' to hide from it all[00:00:56]

I try to recall the first time that I saw[00:00:58]

Someone close to me die and my mind starts to draw[00:01:01]

A blank[00:01:04]

There's far to many of us die[00:01:04]

Genocide it's a genocide[00:01:06]

And our enemies will never be satisfied[00:01:08]

Until not even our memories survive[00:01:11]

It feels like they got the whole world on their side[00:01:13]

And the story of my people will never reach your eyes[00:01:16]

But understand one damn thing I can't run[00:01:18]

I don't care where the liar got his drink from[00:01:21]

I'll rush your tank with not even a hand gun[00:01:23]

Only a rock from the land that I stand on[00:01:26]

I stand tall I raise my fists[00:01:29]

I pray all this pain might lift[00:01:31]

I don't want to die tonight[00:01:33]

But I can't live another day like this[00:01:35]

I stand tall I raise my fists[00:01:38]

I pray all this pain might lift[00:01:41]

I don't want to die tonight[00:01:43]

But I can't live another day like this[00:01:45]

That's the law that I break when I breathe[00:01:47]

The blood of my people races through me[00:01:49]

I will never back down I can not flee[00:01:52]

Would rather die on my feet then to live on my knees[00:01:54]

Adorning the soldier uniform I was born in[00:01:57]

I did not chose the war I was drawn in[00:02:00]

If I been called to be a martyrs end[00:02:03]

I'm standing on heaven's front door with a grin[00:02:05]

Saying please let me in[00:02:07]

Greet me as a friend[00:02:08]

I did not believe I would breathe free again[00:02:10]

Lord have mercy on my soul[00:02:12]

I was desperate and I had people to defend[00:02:14]

I'm the slave that drowned on the middle passage[00:02:17]

I'm chief sitting bull at the hand of a savage[00:02:19]

John brown standing both hands blasting[00:02:22]

Crying freedom something must happen[00:02:24]

If I'm the only weapon that I have[00:02:27]

Then I'm standing with a bomb strapped to my abdomen[00:02:29]

Eyes full of water[00:02:32]

God please forgive me[00:02:33]

My people must one day live free[00:02:34]

I stand tall I raise my fists[00:02:37]

I pray all this pain might lift[00:02:40]

I don't want to die tonight but I can't live another day like this[00:02:42]

I stand tall I raise my fists[00:02:47]

I pray all this pain might lift[00:02:49]

I don't want to die tonight but I can't live another day like this[00:02:52]
