[00:01.63]"Voices Of The Voiceless"
[00:05.00](with Immortal Technique)
[00:06.61][Lowkey]
[00:46.04]From West 10 to the West Bank,
[00:48.14]I write righteous rhymes with my right and wrestle the devil with my left hand,
[00:52.20]Never work for a Zionist, never been a yes man,
[00:55.09]My art is like Rembrandt painting pictures of death camps,
[00:58.12]The average person is allergic to the words of wisdom,
[01:01.13]This is for everyone of Saddam’s Kurdish murder victims,
[01:03.94]And all the pure souls that never had the chance to speak,
[01:06.61]Truth pumps in my arteries and causes my heart to beat,
[01:09.45]For soldiers haunted and tortured by guilty memories,
[01:12.29]Who realized too late to reveal their real enemy,
[01:15.18]It’s all dead wrong
[01:16.83]For every victim of racist persecution from Auschwitz to Hebron,
[01:21.03]My words may sting cowards,
[01:23.32]For people that were atomized by the Thermate in the Twin Towers
[01:27.15]Those living through the wars,
[01:28.57]Ask me what I do this for,
[01:29.76]Put the world in its place before it put you in yours,
[01:32.08][Chorus]
[01:32.41][Rochelle Rose]
[01:32.99]What happens under darkness shall come to light,
[01:35.56]Can’t silence us even though you try,
[01:37.89][Lowkey]
[01:38.15]You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
[01:41.16]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[01:44.01][Rochelle Rose]
[01:44.52]Take our freedom, Can’t take our pride,
[01:47.07]Come what may we will survive,
[01:49.70][Lowkey]
[01:50.01]You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless,
[01:52.83]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[01:55.51][Immortal Technique]
[01:55.90]Keep my third eye hidden under my New York fitted,
[01:58.45]A crazy unmarried man that deserves to be committed,
[02:01.28]The future is encrypted in my troubled lyrics,
[02:03.98]Dream that I’ve been somewhere for weeks, then wake up in a couple minutes,
[02:07.36]Sweat dripping with visions of population control,
[02:10.07]Thoughts overflowing my world like the melting of the North Pole,
[02:13.22]My people are targeted by military crack committees,
[02:16.00]So I’m bucking at the feds like natives in Rapid City,
[02:19.04]Reality savage, my words are like a riot in Paris,
[02:22.30]The voice of the voiceless, that voice is social imbalance,
[02:24.68]So stand strong or sit harder in your mental palace,
[02:27.58]Blinded inside a Kingdom united to its old habits,
[02:30.67]But now, Middle Passage coming, War Chant, African drumming,
[02:33.71]Gatling gun humming,
[02:34.91]Rapid fire mechanism, reckless living,
[02:36.66]That checks the rhythm of perfectionism,
[02:39.17]Slave condition,
[02:39.98]While you’re singing God save the system,
[02:41.87][Chorus]
[02:42.07][Rochelle Rose]
[02:42.48]What happens under darkness shall come to light,
[02:44.81]Can’t silence us even though you try,
[02:47.58][Lowkey]
[02:47.88]You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
[02:50.63]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[02:53.17][Rochelle Rose]
[02:53.46]Take our freedom, Can’t take our pride,
[02:56.27]Come what may we will survive,
[02:59.19][Lowkey]
[02:59.42]You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless,
[03:02.24]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[03:05.04][Lowkey]
[03:05.24]Detain my body, but you can’t imprison my mind,
[03:07.69]If it’s my time I’ll probably die with my fist in the sky,
[03:10.58]These are the thoughts of a man who can’t escape from his coma,
[03:13.49]Cries of a young virgin girl who got raped by them soldiers,
[03:16.33][Immortal Technique]
[03:16.56]Birthing a screaming bastard, post colonial nation,
[03:19.38]Subject to childhood diseases, famine, war and inflation,
[03:22.22]Education molded you into your masters image,
[03:25.00]And you forgot who the f*ck you were before the war was finished
[03:27.74][Lowkey]
[03:27.93]You’re hearing the ghosts of Nagasaki, you’re hearing Hiroshima,
[03:31.41]Beautiful babies being born with the weirdest features,
[03:34.44]You might never see me in the charts,
[03:36.48]But Inshallah my seed can see peace in Iraq,
[03:39.65][Immortal Technique]
[03:39.86]But peace and freedom can never be given,
[03:41.87]That’s historically forbidden, cause only collision is the recipe,
[03:45.57]Changing the course of destiny, so I’m strapped with weaponry,
[03:48.14][Lowkey & Immortal Technique]
[03:48.48]‘Cause the government don’t give a f*ck about protecting me.
[03:54.33][Chorus]
[03:54.60][Rochelle Rose]
[03:54.98]What happens under darkness shall come to light,
[03:55.35]Can’t silence us even though you try,
[03:57.15][Lowkey]
[03:57.54]You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
[04:00.08]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[04:03.66][Rochelle Rose]
[04:04.00]Take our freedom, can’t take our pride,
[04:06.01]Come what may we will survive,
[04:08.86][Lowkey]
[04:09.19]You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless,
[04:11.75]You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
[04:15.20]
