《Philistine David》歌词

[00:00:00] Philistine David - Brother Ali

[00:00:20] I stand tall I raise my fists

[00:00:22] I pray all this pain might lift

[00:00:25] I don't want to die tonight

[00:00:27] But I can't live another day like this

[00:00:30] I stand tall I raise my fists

[00:00:32] I pray all this pain might lift

[00:00:35] I don't want to die tonight

[00:00:36] But I can't live another day like this

[00:00:39] The first time I ever broke the law

[00:00:41] Was just being born in a zone that's controlled by y'all

[00:00:44] A foreigner in my own damn home land

[00:00:46] Made me a sixteen year old grown man

[00:00:49] I was aged by the pain that I saw

[00:00:51] Outside my front door was the front line of a war

[00:00:54] Shots gets fired I cry on the floor

[00:00:56] Underneath my bed tryin' to hide from it all

[00:00:58] I try to recall the first time that I saw

[00:01:01] Someone close to me die and my mind starts to draw

[00:01:04] A blank

[00:01:04] There's far to many of us die

[00:01:06] Genocide it's a genocide

[00:01:08] And our enemies will never be satisfied

[00:01:11] Until not even our memories survive

[00:01:13] It feels like they got the whole world on their side

[00:01:16] And the story of my people will never reach your eyes

[00:01:18] But understand one damn thing I can't run

[00:01:21] I don't care where the liar got his drink from

[00:01:23] I'll rush your tank with not even a hand gun

[00:01:26] Only a rock from the land that I stand on

[00:01:29] I stand tall I raise my fists

[00:01:31] I pray all this pain might lift

[00:01:33] I don't want to die tonight

[00:01:35] But I can't live another day like this

[00:01:38] I stand tall I raise my fists

[00:01:41] I pray all this pain might lift

[00:01:43] I don't want to die tonight

[00:01:45] But I can't live another day like this

[00:01:47] That's the law that I break when I breathe

[00:01:49] The blood of my people races through me

[00:01:52] I will never back down I can not flee

[00:01:54] Would rather die on my feet then to live on my knees

[00:01:57] Adorning the soldier uniform I was born in

[00:02:00] I did not chose the war I was drawn in

[00:02:03] If I been called to be a martyrs end

[00:02:05] I'm standing on heaven's front door with a grin

[00:02:07] Saying please let me in

[00:02:08] Greet me as a friend

[00:02:10] I did not believe I would breathe free again

[00:02:12] Lord have mercy on my soul

[00:02:14] I was desperate and I had people to defend

[00:02:17] I'm the slave that drowned on the middle passage

[00:02:19] I'm chief sitting bull at the hand of a savage

[00:02:22] John brown standing both hands blasting

[00:02:24] Crying freedom something must happen

[00:02:27] If I'm the only weapon that I have

[00:02:29] Then I'm standing with a bomb strapped to my abdomen

[00:02:32] Eyes full of water

[00:02:33] God please forgive me

[00:02:34] My people must one day live free

[00:02:37] I stand tall I raise my fists

[00:02:40] I pray all this pain might lift

[00:02:42] I don't want to die tonight but I can't live another day like this

[00:02:47] I stand tall I raise my fists

[00:02:49] I pray all this pain might lift

[00:02:52] I don't want to die tonight but I can't live another day like this
