[00:46.73]From West 10 to the West Bank,
[00:47.78]I write righteous rhymes with my right and wrestle the devil with my left hand,
[00:52.02]Never work for a Zionist, never been a yes man,
[00:54.75]My art is like Rembrandt painting pictures of death camps,
[00:57.72]The average person is allergic to the words of wisdom,
[01:00.57]This is for everyone of Saddam's Kurdish murder victims,
[01:03.57]And all the pure souls that never had the chance to speak,
[01:06.41]Truth pumps in my arteries and causes my heart to beat,
[01:09.29]For soldiers haunted and tortured by guilty memories,
[01:12.03]Who realised too late to reveal their real enemy,
[01:15.04]It's all dead wrong
[01:16.59]For every victim of racist persecution from Auschwitz to Hebron,
[01:20.77]My words may sting cowards,
[01:22.41]For people that were atomised by the Thermate in the Twin Towers
[01:26.82]Those living through the wars,
[01:28.26]Ask me what I do this for,
[01:29.65]Put the world in its place before it put you in yours,
[01:32.22]
[01:32.69]Chorus - Rochelle Rose & Lowkey
[01:33.13]Rochelle Rose: What happens under darkness shall come to light,
[01:35.41]Can't silence us even though you try,
[01:38.31]Lowkey: You can try to avoid us but it's pointless
[01:41.21]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[01:44.12]Rochelle Rose: Take our freedom, Can't take our pride,
[01:46.88]Come what may we will survive,
[01:49.91]Lowkey: You can try to avoid us but it's pointless,
[01:52.61]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[01:55.34]
[01:55.76]Verse 2 - Immortal Technique
[01:56.21]Keep my third eye hidden under my New York fitted,
[01:58.48]A crazy unmarried man that deserves to be committed,
[02:01.36]The future is encrypted in my troubled lyrics,
[02:03.94]Dream that I've been somewhere for weeks, then wake up in a couple minutes,
[02:07.24]Sweat dripping with visions of population control,
[02:09.67]Thoughts overflowing my world like the melting of the North Pole,
[02:12.89]My people are targeted by military crack committees,
[02:15.81]So I'm bucking at the feds like natives in Rapid City,
[02:18.75]Reality savage, my words are like a riot in Paris,
[02:21.67]The voice of the voiceless, that voice is social imbalance,
[02:24.88]So stand strong or sit harder in your mental palace,
[02:27.44]Blinded inside a Kingdom united to its old habits,
[02:30.49]But now, Middle Passage coming, War Chant, African drumming,
[02:33.57]Gatling gun humming,
[02:34.88]Rapid fire mechanism, reckless living,
[02:36.48]That checks the rhythm of perfectionism,
[02:38.16]Slave condition,
[02:40.01]While you're singing God save the system,
[02:41.77]
[02:42.26]Chorus - Rochelle Rose & Lowkey
[02:42.77]Rochelle Rose: What happens under darkness shall come to light,
[02:44.72]Can't silence us even though you try,
[02:47.64]Lowkey: You can try to avoid us but it's pointless
[02:50.61]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[02:53.39]Rochelle Rose: Take our freedom, Can't take our pride,
[02:56.34]Come what may we will survive,
[02:59.31]Lowkey: You can try to avoid us but it's pointless,
[03:02.19]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[03:04.31]
[03:04.88]Verse 3 - Lowkey
[03:05.35]Detain my body, but you can't imprison my mind,
[03:07.48]If it's my time I'll probably die with my fist in the sky,
[03:10.39]These are the thoughts of a man who can't escape from his coma,
[03:13.46]Cries of a young virgin girl who got raped by them soldiers,
[03:16.30]
[03:16.82]Verse 4 - Immortal Technique
[03:17.31]Birthing a screaming bastard, post colonial nation,
[03:19.18]Subject to childhood diseases, famine, war and inflation,
[03:22.10]Education molded you into your masters image,
[03:24.93]And you forgot who the **** you were before the war was finished
[03:27.77]
[03:28.23]Verse 5 - Lowkey
[03:28.69]You're hearing the ghosts of Nagasaki, you're hearing Hiroshima,
[03:31.23]Beautiful babies being born with the weirdest features,
[03:34.21]You might never see me in the charts,
[03:36.40]But Inshallah my seed can see peace in Iraq,
[03:39.53]
[03:39.95]Verse 6 - Immortal Technique
[03:40.44]But peace and freedom can never be given,
[03:41.89]That's historically forbidden, Cos only collision is the recipe,
[03:45.32]Changing the course of destiny, so I'm strapped with weaponry,
[03:48.72]
[03:49.29]Lowkey & Immortal Technique
[03:49.80]'Cause the government don't give a f-ck about protecting me.
[03:51.26]
[03:51.76]Chorus - Rochelle Rose & Lowkey
[03:52.23]Rochelle Rose: What happens under darkness shall come to light,
[03:54.23]Can't silence us even though you try,
[03:57.21]Lowkey: You can try to avoid us but it's pointless
[03:59.90]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[04:04.26]Rochelle Rose: Take our freedom, Can't take our pride,
[04:06.07]Come what may we will survive,
[04:08.99]Lowkey: You can try to avoid us but it's pointless,
[04:11.32]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
