[00:00:00] The Travelers - Brother Ali
[00:00:21] Shackles are heavy on the wrist
[00:00:23] Stacked like sardines belly of a ship
[00:00:26] Live in your own piss and shit and being seasick
[00:00:29] Cracked across your back with a thick leather whip
[00:00:31] Salt water burns through your wounds
[00:00:34] Women are starving with babies in their wombs
[00:00:36] On your hands and knees trying to cry God please
[00:00:39] Exhausted your voice is too weak to speak
[00:00:42] Neighbors and strangers are dying beside you
[00:00:44] Their decaying bodies you're tied to
[00:00:47] Cling tight to your fight for survival
[00:00:49] Wonder if your tribe will ever try to find you
[00:00:52] Arrive somewhere strange the air is cold
[00:00:54] You can see your breath and you're barely clothed
[00:00:57] Your first time ever seeing snow
[00:00:59] Sleeping next to it on a hard dirt floor
[00:01:01] Go from can't seeing see in the morning to can't see at night
[00:01:05] You work till your hands bleed white
[00:01:07] Your native language you can't recite
[00:01:10] Murdered on sight if you try to read or write
[00:01:12] When you bend all of your life and can't see the light
[00:01:15] It get's painful to stand upright
[00:01:17] Right
[00:01:18] And your eyes bear the sight of your wife
[00:01:20] Being being pulled from your shack and brutalized at night
[00:01:22] You only taste joy when babies are born
[00:01:25] Which becomes an occasion to mourn
[00:01:27] Separated torn from your celebrating arms
[00:01:30] Then as quickly as they came they were gone
[00:01:32] Sold away from your farm this is all they've known
[00:01:35] Never heard stories from home
[00:01:37] They forget your name
[00:01:38] The culture from which you came
[00:01:40] Teaching it'll get you slain
[00:01:42] Praying to your god will get you the same and tortured to near death lest you complain
[00:01:48] No Choice left you sing through the pain and pray that your suffering wasn't in vain
[00:01:52] End of your chain end of your life
[00:01:55] Your grandchildren born with no end is sight
[00:01:58] So you muster up all of your might
[00:02:00] And your last breath comes out fight
[00:02:04] This is actually true
[00:02:06] Now stop and imagine that's you
[00:02:08] Now stop imagining unravel the truth and ask just who is it happening to
[00:02:14] Everything that the passenger do
[00:02:16] The driver experience too
[00:02:18] So if humanity is one
[00:02:20] Then we all get burned when it's hell that we're traveling through
[00:02:23] You've got to save my soul
[00:02:27] Put me back together make me whole
[00:02:32] Said we don't know which way to go
[00:02:37] Take my hand and place me on that road
[00:02:45] Trapped in a history we don't understand
[00:02:47] Can't remember how this blood got on our hands
[00:02:50] Never been taught about the ugly past
[00:02:52] Expecting God not to punish man
[00:02:55] Our ancestors brought us control
[00:02:57] We realize now that the cost was our soul
[00:03:00] Got me feeling like an empty shell
[00:03:02] Prison guard that inherited a cell
[00:03:05] I'm desperate to find my place
[00:03:07] Emptiness lies behind my face
[00:03:10] Flowers only die in a vase
[00:03:12] A heart only dies encased in a lie we call race
[00:03:15] I hear the song but I can't sing along
[00:03:18] Something's really wrong I can't put my finger on
[00:03:20] Terrified to admit it's wrong
[00:03:22] Cause I'm hiding in the ruins of a legacy that still lives on
[00:03:26] Our identity is hinged upon the miserable myth we've been caught since we're born
[00:03:31] Until we mend what was torn
[00:03:33] The debt of a sin lingers long after the vicitim's moans
[00:03:36] This is actually true
[00:03:38] Now stop and imagine that's you
[00:03:40] Now stop imagining unravel the truth
[00:03:43] And ask just who is it happening to
[00:03:46] Everything that the passenger do the driver experience too
