《Own Light (What Hearts Are For)》歌词

[00:00:00] Own Light (What Hearts Are For) - Brother Ali

[00:00:17] You're not using your heart for

[00:00:20] What hearts are for

[00:00:21] They've been trying to shut us down our whole life

[00:00:25] I thank god for healing

[00:00:26] You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light

[00:00:30] Thank god for listening listen

[00:00:32] You've been trying to build me up my whole life

[00:00:35] I thank god for building

[00:00:37] You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light

[00:00:41] I thank god I'm living

[00:00:42] Sometime I feel like a stranger maybe I ain't from here

[00:00:45] World going crazy how could that be unclear

[00:00:48] Know that I'm a soldier heart's on my battleground

[00:00:51] Sword in the holster had to come back around

[00:00:54] I ain't trying to hide away I just had to meditate

[00:00:56] I ain't got a lot to say but the ancestors may

[00:00:59] Speaking to the whole globe numbers don't occur to me

[00:01:02] You can listen solo 'cause you're the whole world to me

[00:01:05] I jump in with both feet nothing low key

[00:01:07] You can find me where I'm s'posed be where my folks be

[00:01:10] If you listen very closely you know who chose me

[00:01:12] Nothing that I own owns me and so I'm so free

[00:01:15] I remember being hungry needing groceries

[00:01:18] Nighttime getting no sleep 'til my nose bleed

[00:01:21] Got a message to the police

[00:01:22] You're not using your heart for what hearts are for

[00:01:26] They've been trying to shut us down our whole life

[00:01:30] I thank god for healing

[00:01:31] You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light

[00:01:35] Thank god for listening listen

[00:01:37] You've been trying to build me up my whole life

[00:01:41] I thank god for building

[00:01:42] You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light

[00:01:46] I thank god I'm living

[00:01:48] Not for one second I believe what you're telling me

[00:01:51] I know you invented disease and sell the remedy

[00:01:53] Universe is sending me centuries of memories

[00:01:56] So the very breath that I breathe is all I ever need

[00:01:59] I got that Muhammad Ali up in my pedigree

[00:02:02] Yes I be speaking my peace up in my seventies

[00:02:04] Ain't worry bout ya threatening me I'm just being honest

[00:02:07] I ain't buying fear just because it's all you got left

[00:02:10] We just want to make love 'til we wake up

[00:02:12] I believe whoever made us envisioned greatness

[00:02:15] And you know they want to paint us with the same brush

[00:02:18] Wanna interchain us 'til we fill our grave up

[00:02:20] Alright okay but when it's all said and it's all done

[00:02:24] And I look back at the trophies I won

[00:02:26] I will only count one

[00:02:28] I'm using my heart for what hearts are for

[00:02:32] They've been trying to shut us down our whole life

[00:02:35] I thank god for healing

[00:02:37] You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light

[00:02:41] Thank god for listening listen

[00:02:43] You've been trying to build me up my whole life

[00:02:46] I thank god for building

[00:02:48] You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light

[00:02:52] I thank god I'm living

[00:02:53] And I know who I am

[00:02:54] I know whose I am

[00:02:56] On your wings I fly

[00:02:57] And in your shoes I stand

[00:02:59] I'm animated by love I don't move by chance

[00:03:01] Any stage I touch or any place I stand

[00:03:04] There y'all land living in the world as it is

[00:03:07] Cracked vessel I am no more and no less than a man

[00:03:10] Any po-sessions that I have are just in my hand

[00:03:13] I'm balancing the best that I can

[00:03:15] I'm not making no claims but

[00:03:17] I'm using my heart for what hearts are for

[00:03:21] All the beauty in this whole life uh

[00:03:24] I thank god for healing

[00:03:26] And you ain't got to get me lit I got my own light

[00:03:30] I thank god for listening listen

[00:03:32] You've been trying to build me up my whole life

[00:03:35] I thank god for building

[00:03:37] You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light

[00:03:41] I thank god I'm living

[00:03:42] Just reflecting all the beauty in this whole life
