Una Palabra - Outlandish[00:00:01]

This ain't a story 'bout race color or creed[00:00:01]

It's a story 'bout hate envy and greed[00:00:03]

Talk about ambitions but don't want us to progress[00:00:04]

Ya talk about assistance but all we get is the stress[00:00:07]

U don t really wanna see me grow[00:00:10]

Hating on me choking on my flow[00:00:11]

U say we rude don't like our attitude[00:00:14]

We crude ain't got no gratitude[00:00:16]

But I wasn't born to be low I was born to rise[00:00:18]

Wasn't born to pretend or keep my faith in disguise[00:00:21]

Ain't got no freedom of speech[00:00:23]

No freedom to teach - make our kids out of reach[00:00:25]

Wanna break ties - alienated in their own land[00:00:27]

Running riot in the streets day by day getting out of hand[00:00:30]

U don't want me to be an inspiration[00:00:33]

U wanna blame me for agitation[00:00:35]

How can u tell me 'bout participation[00:00:36]

When all u really want is segregation[00:00:38]

Una palabra no dice nada[00:00:41]

Y al mismo tiempo[00:00:43]

Lo esconde todo[00:00:45]

Como aquel viento que esconde el agua[00:00:51]

Como las flores que esconde el lodo[00:00:57]

One word contains nothing[00:01:02]

And at the same time[00:01:03]

It contains everything[00:01:04]

Like the air contains water[00:01:05]

Like the flowers contain the mire[00:01:07]

Is it my religion - u keep seeing as a threat[00:01:09]

U think it's all about - murder violence and death[00:01:12]

But do u care to find - find the truth[00:01:14]

Or is it easier to keep fronting and oppressing our youth[00:01:16]

Is this why I'm a be awestruck [00:01:19]

Damn these lies just make us stuck[00:01:21]

Bow down to something greater[00:01:23]

Nah forget that maybe later[00:01:25]

Really must be joking deceits and lies is all I see[00:01:26]

Should I be your enemy or should I trust your lies[00:01:29]

Should your treatment of my peeps make us forge them ties[00:01:31]

Got to tell me the truth as it is[00:01:35]

Or we'll be keeping coming back right here to this[00:01:37]

Second class citizen in my own home[00:01:39]

Been 30 years gone - and still no dome still gotta stay strong[00:01:40]

Thinking I'm thick trying to sell me this hypocrisy[00:01:42]

Heard it before u must be kidding me [00:01:44]

Wanna dictate who I marry[00:01:45]

And even what my sis should wear[00:01:46]

Then prevent her from a job[00:01:47]

Stuck on welfare - seems[00:01:49]

To provoke and oppress us is ok - seems[00:01:50]

Racism is cool - despite what u say[00:01:52]

Wanna blame us for ya shortcomings[00:01:54]

Just want a scapegoat[00:01:56]

Still seeing us like a problem[00:01:58]

Like we just off the boat[00:02:00]

Guess u wanted cheap labour to build ya home[00:02:01]

Una palabra no dice nada[00:02:04]

Y al mismo tiempo[00:02:06]

Lo esconde todo[00:02:08]

Como aquel viento que esconde el agua[00:02:11]

Como las flores que esconde el lodo[00:02:12]

Una Mirada no dice nada[00:02:16]

Y al mismo tiempo[00:02:19]

Lo dice todo[00:02:20]

Como la lluvia sobre tu cara[00:02:22]

O el Viejo mapa de algún tesoro[00:02:25]

One word contains nothing[00:02:45]

And at the same time[00:02:46]

It contains everything[00:02:47]

Like the air contains water[00:02:48]

Like the flowers contain the mire[00:02:49]

One look contains nothing[00:02:50]

And at the same time[00:02:51]

It contains everything[00:02:52]

Like the rain on your face[00:02:52]

Or an old map leading you to some treasure[00:02:54]

Where the next Abu Dharr at [00:02:55]

Where the next Khalid Ibn Walid aka Sayf-Allah at [00:02:56]

Tell us how we fuel this crime[00:02:58]

Everyday statistics everyday media - plenty of us doing time[00:02:59]

Why should I take the blame or shame[00:03:01]

When I know u just looking for someone to frame[00:03:03]

My individual freedom; abused[00:03:04]

Redicule of my deen my beliefs guess I be the new jew[00:03:04]

I've become the new ni**a of the world[00:03:07]

Product of your society adopted your values in their entirety[00:03:09]

Wasn't born like this I was made this way[00:03:11]

U like it or not player - I'm here to stay[00:03:13]

We walk the same streets breathe the same air[00:03:15]

Add to this state but do u even care [00:03:18]

Guess u gotta reciprocate[00:03:21]

Want us to be people of faith or people of hate [00:03:21]

U got your deen I got mine - okay[00:03:23]
