[00:00.11]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

[01:28.533]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
