Lord of the Light -Talib Kweli |
| [00:04.271] |
They're sellswords |
| [00:05.271] |
We're willing to use blood magic to put you on the throne |
| [00:07.401] |
But we're not willing to pay men to fight |
| [00:09.261] |
I've never heard of visions and prophecies winning a war |
| [00:11.960] |
Soldiers win wars |
| [00:13.150] |
Soldiers on the ground |
| [00:14.440] |
It's dirty on the ground |
| [00:16.649] |
The night is dark and it's full of terrors |
| [00:18.598] |
Where your heart *****where your courage |
| [00:20.608] |
I was buildin'with the older guy |
| [00:22.618] |
He said you act like you know it all |
| [00:24.428] |
All praise to one true God |
| [00:25.607] |
How you know if you alive if you don't got a few scars |
| [00:27.897] |
These cowards in power enforcin'these new laws |
| [00:29.647] |
No respect for the poor people fightin'they wars |
| [00:31.777] |
When I pull out my sword put away lemon cake cutters |
| [00:33.686] |
Keep my blade covered with the blood of the fakes |
| [00:35.816] |
So just take daughters and they kill fathers and they rape mothers |
| [00:38.124] |
They just make lovers out of their brothers for the great other |
| [00:40.784] |
And it's dirty on the ground |
| [00:42.74] |
Half of Flea Bottom never balls to the brown |
| [00:43.874] |
Say it's all for the gold when the poachers come around |
| [00:45.904] |
You can smell the dead way before the vultures come around |
| [00:47.823] |
Soldiers comin'back after the battle |
| [00:49.323] |
Still gotta face the fear of the unknown |
| [00:51.112] |
Daughters and they sons grown |
| [00:52.441] |
Then they gotta explain why they been gone |
| [00:54.399] |
Took a man from his family just to get home |
| [00:56.888] |
Lord of light to ya'll |
| [01:00.756] |
Lord of the light |
| [01:05.56] |
Lord of light to ya'll |
| [01:08.896] |
Lord of the light |
| [01:11.725] |
Let's go let's |
| [01:13.35] |
Lord of light to ya'll |
| [01:16.795] |
Lord of the light |
| [01:21.225] |
Lord of light to ya'll |
| [01:25.105] |
Lord of the light |
| [01:28.533] |
Shadows are created by the light |
| [01:29.972] |
So that's when we fight for our freedom |
| [01:31.442] |
That's the battle for our lives |
| [01:32.442] |
We stickin'out our tongue we never fight |
| [01:33.822] |
This why the arguments of the day is the violence of the night |
| [01:36.482] |
Respect and fear ain't the same so they get it confused |
| [01:38.741] |
See the vision when you're starin'in the flame |
| [01:40.400] |
In this game of thrones when you win you still lose |
| [01:42.310] |
Cause your evil get a say when they chearin'your name |
| [01:44.450] |
And they prayin'on your weakness |
| [01:45.800] |
Cause they playin'for keepers |
| [01:47.390] |
And they slayin'all your leaders |
| [01:48.850] |
Now your people face disease and famine |
| [01:50.620] |
And f**k the king cause we famished |
| [01:52.359] |
That's why the brothers that I roll with don't be waving no banners |
| [01:54.518] |
Warriors for the cause and we raisin'a family |
| [01:56.938] |
And when it's time to exact revenge |
| [01:58.438] |
Have a son come back from the dead |
| [01:59.858] |
Look to the light yo |
| [02:00.968] |
The protector of the realm and the citadel |
| [02:02.757] |
Living in squalor while the rich people livin'well |
| [02:05.227] |
I'm seein'they enjoying they seven Heavens |
| [02:07.75] |
Almost like they forgot about the seven Hells |
| [02:09.465] |
Lord of light to ya'll |
| [02:13.335] |
Lord of the light |
| [02:17.905] |
Lord of light to ya'll |
| [02:21.585] |
Lord of the light |
| [02:25.664] |
Lord of light to ya'll |
| [02:29.464] |
Lord of the light |
| [02:33.784] |
Lord of light to ya'll |
| [02:37.674] |
Lord of the light |
