With war rising over the horizon It's hard to start writing Been fightin in the belly of the titan, my tourniquets tighten around the livin' but dyin' My pen floods the pages while the children are crying I want to put on an iron shirt, chase the devil out of earth Spit until my tongue and saliva glands burst But first I invoke the spirit of the long gone and coming back through the song I am one with that all-seein' being but It seems as if we're being tricked into believing that which we think we believe in Even if we disagree on who the best mc is, We bob to the beat as if we're nodding in agreement I write to freedom, though freedom hasn't come I let it ring to leave a message on my answering machine I see a movement has begun As soon as we become the true truth seekers Down with this Babylon regime Chorus: To think you can die in the blink of an eye I bid you to try, to test I & I Been destined to fly But I'm restin tonight And one bright morning I will take flight But until then, I'll be rockin on the em I see the future drippin out of a pen If sleep be the cousin of death Letras de cancionesThen every time I blink's one step closer to my last breath It's said talk is cheap, but war is expensive I speak cuz it's free and these words are my weapons Don't think for a second I will not question US foreign policy, imperial aggression inventing war for he quenching of the thirst for the oil Cuz money don't trickle down to workers who toil, you see Blood trickle down from the wounds of the soil And broken antennas with aluminum foil Standing on televisions, transmitting propaganda of millionaire senators And your so-called commander in chief, b, I'm telling you the man is a thief, In his head he holds a plan to ban your freedom of speech, To build a pipeline, put Afghanistan on a leash When it bites back blame the Taliban for the breach Of security in each and every first world country Where life more distant If you're thirsty or hungry Chorus: To think you can die in the blink of an eye I bid you to try, to test I & I Been destined to fly But I'm restin tonight And one bright morning I will take flight But until then, I'll be rockin on the m I see the future drippin out of a pen If sleep be the cousin of death Then every time I blink's one step closer to my last breath America romanticizes the old war story Heroes, ammos, guns, blood guts and glory And no wonder the majority wants a war with Iraq Even if only 15% know where it's at on a map With our backs against a stockpile of weaponry Enough to turn the earth into a memory, 'cept there'll be No one to remember this planet If it happens god damn it, if I get drafted today I swear to God, Jah, Allah and Yahweh I'll toss the letter away and I'll pull a Cassius Clay, In the military Minorities comprise the majority, Surprised? are you kidding me? The lies rely on brown bodies to fight for white puppet masters I cannot fathom how the caged bird drinks Until he thinks he is free A critical mass between the heavenly future, and a hell of a past, now Chorus: To think you can die in the blink of an eye I bid you to try, to test I & I Been destined to fly But I'm restin tonight And one bright morning I will take flight But until then, I'll be rockin on the em I see the future drippin out of a pen If sleep be the cousin of death Then every time I blink's one step closer to my last breathy (Thanks to Sara for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
