(C major) (B flat major) (C minor) (F major)
(C major) (B flat major) (C minor) (F major)
Verse 1
(C major) Another
war another martyr revered
(E flat major) Passed the fear from their fathers
then it's (F major) lasting for years
Bullets (C major) don't discriminate the skin
color they pier (G minor) ce
We speak the (E flat major) same language brother love,
(F major) laughter and tears
Refugees (C minor) trading (C major) death for a pris (G minor) on
While some base a (E flat major) set of opinions on race,
(F major) sex or religion
Come on, (C major) enough day to day
(G minor) stress of just living
Without giv (E flat major) ing a fuck if they're hated
just cause you're differ (F major) ent
Let's do (C minor) it under the name of
the (D minor) love that became lost
(E flat major) Dress it up how you want,
we're (F major) cut from the same cloth
Scars (C minor) of hate, (C major)
frowns stitched to our faces
Can (E flat major) 't escape the (C minor) cage we forge,
(B flat major) we've got bars (E flat major) to break
(C minor) For those (C major) living every
(G minor) bit of the struggle
Given to (E flat major) hustle trying to figure
how they (F major) fit in the puzzle
Cause right (C major) now we're in pieces
and (G minor) peace is the people as (E flat major) one
Till then we're (F major) treated like we're speaking
in tongues (E flat major) so here we (C minor) come
I am, (C major) you are, (C minor) we are one (E flat major) We're two

Verse 2
sides of the same
coin, we (F major) drink from the sun
We be the (C minor) left hand, (C major) right hand, (B flat major) right man?
But (E flat major) sometimes it seems like we're speaking
in tongues (F major) so let me speak on the drum
(C major) I am, you are, (C minor) we are one
(E flat major) We're two sides of the same coin,
we (F major) drink from the sun
We be the (C minor) left hand, (C major) right hand, (B flat major) right man?
But (E flat major) sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues
(F major) so let me speak on the drum
Verse 3
Media is teaching (C major) the young,
debate about belief in the one
Can make an eight- year (C minor) sol dier
fall asleep (F major) with a gun (D minor)
While tax (C major) mans hands deep in your funds,
raping your ones
Money (E flat major) tight like we tweaking the drum
(D minor) s it's like we speaking in tongues (C major)
But no book burnings or church sermons
(E flat major) I surf currents,
my word (F major) s burn like a dirt furnace
(C major) Confusion leads and anguish sells
But this mu (E flat major) sic succeeds
where even language (F major) fails
To convey (C minor) free (D minor) honest
expression
It's a problem (E flat major) trying to get people to
acknowledge progression
My goal (C minor) is to leave a (C major) lasting
iconic impression
Controlling (E flat major) crowds like de (C minor) monic posses
(B flat major) sion and ain't no time to in (C major) vest in
Biting the hand that created the platform
At (E flat major) taching pseudo patriotic
(F major) crap to a rap song
(C major) Hoods and 2na try to unify
the people as one
And yet we're (B flat major) treated like we're
speaking in tongues so here we (C minor) come
I am, you are, we are one (E flat major) We're two
Verse 4
sides of the same
coin, we (F major) drink from the sun
We be the (C minor) left hand, right hand, (B flat major) right man?
But sometimes it (E flat major) seems like we're speaking
in tongues (F major) so let me speak on the drum
(C major) I am, you (C minor) are, we are one
(E flat major) We're two sides of the same coin,
we (F major) drink from the sun
We be the (C minor) left hand, (C major) right hand,
(B flat major) right man?
But sometimes it (E flat major) seems like we're speaking
in tongues (F major) so let me speak on the drum
Verse 5
(C major) I would never
Hate someone for the way they display
love for someone (E flat major) else
(And if you do)
The blame comes from the (F major) weight
of the way that you see your (C major) self
Take some of the weight off your plate
by taking the hate (E flat major) away
And then maybe you'll make (F major) your way
to start loving yourself
(C major) Fear's a cancer (G minor) logic is a
(E flat major) countermeasure
A property that you can't
(F major) count or measure
(C major) I got a problem with people
who got a (G minor) problem with
The (E flat major) way that other people wanna live,
that's their prerog (F major) ative
They're (C minor) mad at how you love,
where your (D minor) prayers are going
Their (E flat major) anger's like a drug,
they're mad at (F major) where you from
But fuck a (C minor) redneck (C major) checking
if your visa's valid
They act like (E flat major) pigs and chickens
I'm sick of (F major) Caesar salad
So we (C major) seize the mallet,
and we swing on the (G minor) ignorant
Can (E flat major) 't speak our language? Then we'll
(F major) see if you can sing in it
(C major) Hoods and 2na try to unify
the (G minor) people as one
And yet we're (B flat major) treated like we're speaking
in tongues so here we (C major) come
I am, (C minor) you are, we are one (E flat major) We're two
Verse 6
sides of the same
coin, we (F major) drink from the sun (E flat major)
We be the (C minor) left hand, (C major) right hand, (B flat major) right man?
But (E flat major) sometimes it seems like we're speaking
in tongues (F major) so let me speak on the drum
(C minor) I am, you are, we are one
(E flat major) We're two sides of the same
coin, we (F major) drink from the sun
We be the (C minor) left hand, (C major) right hand, (B flat major) right man?
But sometimes it (E flat major) seems like we're speaking
in tongues (F major) so let me (E flat major) speak on the drum
Verse 7
(C minor) They pick me up just to pull me down
(B flat major) March to different drum
(E flat major) s, come from all around
(F major) It's like we're speaking in tongues (C major)
(B flat major) It's like we're speaking in tongues (E flat major) (F major)
They pick me (C major) up just to pull me down
(B flat major) March to different drum

But sometimes it (E flat major) seems like we're speaking
in tongues (F major) so let me speak on the drum
(C major) I am, you are, (B flat major) we are one
We're two sides (E flat major) of the same
coin, we (F major) drink from the sun
We be the (C minor) left hand, (C major) right hand, (B flat major) right man?
But sometimes it (E flat major) seems like we're speaking
in tongues (F major) so let me speak on the drum
