| [00:02.90] |
Martin said it |
| [00:03.87] |
Marley said it |
| [00:04.82] |
Ali said it |
| [00:05.74] |
Garvey said it |
| [00:06.56] |
Toussaint said it |
| [00:07.58] |
I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it |
| [00:09.24] |
Malcolm said it |
| [00:10.36] |
Martin said it |
| [00:11.43] |
Marley said it |
| [00:12.34] |
Ali said it |
| [00:13.39] |
Garvey said it |
| [00:14.41] |
Lumumba said it |
| [00:15.31] |
I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it |
| [00:16.99] |
If you ain't found something to die for |
| [00:19.00] |
If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live |
| [00:24.80] |
If you ain't found something to die for you'll never live |
| [00:26.86] |
We might feed and breathe but we never did |
| [00:28.88] |
Accept those with peace and equality |
| [00:30.75] |
They don't see what we call authority |
| [00:32.63] |
Live, speak truth and kill them for |
| [00:34.39] |
We love them dead when they speak no more |
| [00:35.92] |
But they will endure, ideas are bulletproof |
| [00:37.94] |
Tooth of truth it's impossible to pull it loose |
| [00:40.41] |
We smother any mouth, they utter it |
| [00:42.22] |
Folly Fathers fear, we Mother it |
| [00:43.99] |
We're lovin they're corrupt government |
| [00:45.90] |
So we look the other way when in our name they're strugglin' |
| [00:47.78] |
We idolize 'em and we despise 'em |
| [00:49.83] |
Cos we're reminded we're the ones who are silent |
| [00:51.56] |
So, give a moment for the times we were blinded |
| [00:53.60] |
Scream at the top of your lungs like a siren |
| [00:55.62] |
If you ain't found something to die for |
| [00:59.54] |
If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live |
| [01:02.58] |
If you ain't found something to die for |
| [01:07.02] |
If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live |
| [01:11.15] |
Maybe the wise man has nothin' to prove |
| [01:12.61] |
But the one who has nothing has nothing to lose |
| [01:14.53] |
More things we don't need will make more thieves |
| [01:16.45] |
More laws we don't heed it's all Siamese |
| [01:18.37] |
Who leads? It don't matter, they can't make change |
| [01:20.29] |
New driver but we got no brakes |
| [01:22.07] |
Whatever the place, whatever the face |
| [01:23.93] |
The master never ever frees his slave |
| [01:25.65] |
They always knew it |
| [01:27.47] |
So they pursue it |
| [01:28.43] |
But we've been too divided to ever be guided through it |
| [01:29.99] |
Gotta stop 'em because they're rotton from the days of picking cotton |
| [01:31.76] |
To sell us a love song and we're so besotted |
| [01:33.54] |
So confused, we believe their promise |
| [01:35.47] |
But there are some that lead more honest |
| [01:37.38] |
They are not forgotten, though they shot'em |
| [01:39.51] |
So scream to the top of your lungs right from the bottom! |
| [01:41.37] |

I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it |
| [01:48.86] |

| [01:53.83] |

| [01:54.68] |
I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it |
| [01:57.01] |
If you ain't found something to die for |
| [01:59.01] |
If you ain't found something to die for |
| [02:03.54] |
If you ain't found something to die for |
| [02:07.62] |
If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live |
| [02:11.09] |
People don't rebel, the rebels are the tyrants |
| [02:14.12] |
You are not God, so we are not defying |
| [02:16.03] |
No human nature, just our behavior |
| [02:17.88] |
The oppressed wanting their oppressor as their saviour |
| [02:20.10] |
Around the globe killin', made to be religion |
| [02:21.81] |
But the book said they're sinnin' |
| [02:22.91] |
And that is just the beginnin' |
| [02:23.91] |
Now spread democracy by dropping a bomb |
| [02:25.58] |
On a terrorist with no shoes or socks |
| [02:27.56] |
I reckon, history teaches us a lesson |
| [02:29.31] |
The bigger terrorist is the one with the bigger weapons |
| [02:31.50] |
They talked but we didn't listen |
| [02:33.67] |
They spoke and then went missin' |
| [02:35.63] |
We can't see all the things that imprison us |
| [02:37.34] |
Cos we don't appreciate the freedoms that they have given us |
| [02:39.76] |
I wouldn't bet it, that we ever get it |
| [02:41.12] |
Run, tell your friends that Akala said it |
| [02:42.88] |
If you ain't found something to die for |
| [02:44.97] |
If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live |
| [02:50.56] |
If you ain't found something to die for |
| [02:53.53] |
If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live |
| [02:58.48] |
