Verse 1
Eb
Turn my mic up louder
I got to say something
Bb
Lightweights stepping aside
When we come in
Cm
Feel it in your chest
The syllables get pumping
People on the street
They panic and start running
Ab
Words on loose leaf
Sheet complete coming
I jump on my mind
I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
Eb
Healing the blind
I promise to let the sun in
Bb
Sick of the dark ways
We march to the drumming
Eb
Jump when they tell us
They want to see jumping
Bb
Fuck that, I want to see some fist pumping
Cm
Risk something
Take back what's yours
Say something that you know
They might attack you for
Ab
'Cause I'm sick of being treated
Like I had before
Like it's stupid standing for
What I'm standing for
Eb
Like this war is really just
A different brand of war
Bb
Like it doesn't cater the rich
And an abandon the poor
Pre-chorus 1
Cm
Like they understand you
In the back of the jet
Ab
When you can't put gas in your tank
Eb
These fuckers are laughing their way
To the bank and cashing their check
Bb
Asking you to have compassion
and to have some respect
Cm
For a leader so nervous In an obvious way
Ab
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
Eb
And the rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
Bb
In the living room laughing
Like what did he say?
Chorus 1
Cm
Ab
Amen, amen
Eb
Bb
Eb
Amen, amen, amen
Verse 2
Eb
In my living room watching
But I am not laughing
'Cause when it gets tense
Bb
I know what might happen
Cm
The world is cold
The bold men take action
Have to react
Or get blown into fractions
Ab
Ten years old is something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a jeep
Eb
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
Bb
I won der if he thought
the "next one could be me"
Eb
Do you see?
The soldiers they're out today
That brush the dust
Bb
from bulletproof vests away
Cm
It's ironic
At times like this you pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
Ab
There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your markets, your shops, your clothes
Eb
My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know
Bb
But enough pride inside not to let that show
Pre-chorus 2
Cm
My brother had a book
he would hold with pride
Ab
A little red cover with a broken spine
Eb
In the back he hand wrote a quote inside
Bb
"When the rich wage war,
it's the poor who die"
Cm
Meanwhile the leader just talks away
Ab
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
Eb
The rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
Bb
Both scared and angry
Like what did he say?
Chorus 2
Cm
Ab
Amen, amen
Eb
Bb
Amen, amen
