were living life in the shadows
the rain and the clouds won't clear
tryin to survive this battle
why do our dreams get shattered
why is there so much hate
let ppl die like it donat matter
we need the truth right now
we can't take no more pain
to make it through some how
we can't stand by and watch
the whole world fall right down
and all we do is hope for a change
i'm closin my eyes tryna fade away
i feel like the world's fallin' off of the axes
we all know where i'm from but the fact is
u think it's all sand and cactus
a world of killers and terrorist
ossamas screamin death threats in arabic
they don't tell you about the treasures we inherited
we got the whole world to share it with
the accomplishments of pheonicians
most prophets come from these regions
i keep trying to swallow my pride
the vicious circle of the earth as it turns slow
sit back and let the shisha burn slow
i ask myself where'd the world go?
we need the truth right now
we can't take no more pain
to make it through some how
we can't stand by and watch
the whole world fall right down
and all we do is hope for a change
i'm closin my eyes tryna fade away
in my heart where i keep the land
left arm where i keep the dove
the art work mean peace and love
don't no body got no love
our hearts should've frose
to the people with cold blood
we don't know how freedom should taste
it's the people that face
the consequences of the leaders' mistakes
how many decades were taught for racism to fade
and now u're gonna change the books
now i need permission any where i lay my foot
interrigated on the bases of the way i look
i don't gotta be a psychic
now u wanna treat us like it
how they got us feelin' lifeless?
we need the truth right now
we can't take no more pain
to make it through some how
we can't stand by and watch
the whole world fall right down
and all we do is hope for a change
i'm closin my eyes tryna fade away
