So: In the beginning there was hum From a poet whose pulse fell Drum, drum, drum! He would perform prayers and all ‘Till one day he heard a voice call, “Come, come, come!” Suspicious, he moved with vicious caution Dismisses, he thinks it's a little off People get held back By the voice inside them
Yo: The voice said, “I'm poised to speak inside you Rejoice and please let me invite you To evil, greed, and lies too”
Yeah: Confusing days, he moved in ways he soon became a kuuni Boom, boom, boom! A knock on his door, his lord is no more A knock on his door, his soul is no more
La la la la- yeah La la la la- that was in the beginning La la la la- as the story goes on... La la la la-
So, so, so: The poet's got a proposal He would always hope but never know What it feels to be free He would be the frozen, imposed as the chosen on all those opposing But he would be greedy That's got him there He's power-hungry and proud too People don’t care, people just scared People don’t care, people just pray
La la la la- yeah La la la la- that was in the beginning La la la la- there was a hum La la la la- and things change La la la la-
Yeah, yeah, yeah Say: It's better to light a candle than to curse the dark In the eyes of the youth, there are question marks, like freedom Freedom for the mind and soul, we don't see them See them for their worth at all, that’s why we lead them Lead them to these wars and what is it we feed them Feed them our impurities and who it is we treat them Treat them like the enemy, humanity will need them Need them like the blood we spill and we’re freedom Freedom for the hearts we fill Mislead them They hunger for the love we give But we cheat them The cops beat him when all he wants is his freedom So they defeat him Whatever spirit he’s got Beat him And they teach him that the rest of the world don’t need him And he believes it’s a disease; that he’s heathen Put up your fists if all you want is freedom Put up your fists if all you want is...
La la la la- La la la la- that was in the beginning La la la la- and things change La la la la-
Yeah, yeah, yeah: [And we keep holding on And we keep being strong And we keep going on And on and on and on] x 4
