Speaking In Tongues

Another war another martyr revered
Passed the fear from their fathers then it's lasting for years
Bullets don't discriminate the skin colour they pierce
We speak the same language brother love, laughter and tears

Refugees trading death for a prison
While some base a set of opinions on race, sex or religion
(C'mon), enough day to day stress of just livin' ithout givin' a fuck if they're hated just 'cause you're different

Let's do it under the name of
The love that became lost
Dress it up how you want, we're cut from the same cloth
Scars of hate
Frowns stitched to our faces
Can't escape the cage we forge we've got bars to break

For those living every bit of the struggle
Given to hustle trying to figure how they fit in the puzzle
And right now we're in pieces and peace is the people as one
'Til then we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come

I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, (right man?)
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, (right man?)
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

(Media is teaching the young)
(Debate about belief in the one)
(Can make an eight-year soldier fall asleep with a gun)
(While tax mans hands deep in your funds, raping your ones)
(Money tight like we tweaking the drums it's like we speaking in tongues)

(But no book burnings or church sermons)
(I surf currents, my words burn like a dirt furnace)
(Confusion leads and anguish sells)
(But this music succeeds where even language fails, to convey)

(free honest expression, it's a problem trying to get people to acknowledge progression)
(My goal is to leave a lasting iconic impression)
(Controlling crowds like demonic possession and ain't no time to invest in)
(Biting the hand that created the platform)
(Attaching pseudo patriotic crap to a rap song)
(Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one)
(And yet we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come)

I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, (right man?)
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, (right man?)
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I would never
Hate someone for the way they display love for someone else, (and if you do)
The blame comes from the weight of the way that you see yourself
Take some of the weight off your plate by taking the hate away
And then maybe you'll make your way to start loving yourself

Fear's a cancer logic is a countermeasure
A property that you can't count or measure
I got a problem with people who got a problem with
The way that other people wanna live, (that's their prerogative!)
They're mad at how you love, where your prayers are going
Their anger's like a drug, they're mad at where you from

But fuck a redneck checking if your visa's valid
They act like pigs and chickens I'm sick of Ceaser salad
So we seize the mallet, and we swing on the ignorant
Can't speak our language, then we'll see if you can sing in it
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one
And yet we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come

I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, (right man?)
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, (right man?)
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

They pick me up just to pull me down
March to different drums, come from all around
It's like we're speaking in tongues
It's like we're speaking in tongues

They pick me up just to pull me down
March to different drums, come from all around
It's like we're speaking in tongues
It's like we're speaking in tongues

I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, (right man?)
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, (right man?)
