See the lyrics down.
Look into my eyes Tell me what ya see U don't see a damn thing Cuz u can't relate to me U blinded by our differences My life makes no sense to u I'm the persecuted one U the red, white and blue Each day u wake in tranquility No fears to cross your eyes Each day I wake in gratitude Thankin' God He let me rise Ya worry 'bout your education And the bills u have to pay I worry 'bout my vulnerable life And if I'll survive another day Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket As ya cruise your Cadillac My fear is that the tank that's just left Will turn around and come back Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes Do u let the media deceive your mind Is this a truth that nobody knows Has our world gone all blind Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes Do u let the media deceive your mind Is this a truth that nobody knows Some one tell me Oh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day it's through Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters Oh shine a light for every soul That ain't with us no more Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters See I've known terror for quite some times 57 years so cruel Terror breathes the air I breathe It's the check point on my way to school Terror is the robbery of my land And the torture of my mother The imprisonment of my innocent father The bullet in my baby brother The bulldozers and the tanks The gasses and the guns The bombs that fall outside my door All due to your funds You blame me for defending myself Against the ways of my enemies I'm terrorized in my own land And I'm the terrorist Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes Do u let the media deceive your mind Is this a truth that nobody knows Has our world gone all blind Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes Do u let the media deceive your mind Is this a truth that nobody knows Some one tell me Oh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day it's through Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters Oh shine a light for every soul That ain't with us no more Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters American do ya realize That the taxes that u pay Feed the forces that traumatize My every living day So if I won't be here tomorrow It's written in my fate May the future bring a brighter day The end of our wait Oh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day it's through Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters Oh shine a light for every soul That ain't with us no more Ohohoh my brothers Ohohoh my sisters "Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the
rule of law" (From Preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948)
