In the Darkest Hour When the world has turned away And no one's watching When the sky has turned to gray And you have no options When your voice is illegal Only choice for the people Is to stand up proudly In the face of death It ain't a waste of breath When you speak up loudly On behalf of the kids in the street with no pot to piss in* Living on their own cause their papa's missing Don't know if he's dead or he's locked in prison Disappeared, they considered him the opposition And now I'm having visions and dreams I shouldn't see Like could we be this close? Nah couldn't be But if the people in Egypt and Tunis could do this, decide their fate...then why wouldn't we? More than 40 years he done brought the nation under occupation We can not be waiting We gon' stop debating When one of us dies, TEN jump in line ready to box with SatanYou can't take our freedom or take our soul Take our freedom or take our soul You are not the one that's in control You are not the one that's in control La illaha illallah No power's greater than God's Go ahead and devise your plans At the end of the day you are just a manThe movement is building When the fathers pass the scars through to the children They're shooting to kill them But the question I'm asking is "Who's gonna heal them?" Look up to the clear skies Then down to the ground where the blood, sweat, and the tears dried We are questioning their lies Realize that there's not a threat when the fear dies So we are not afraid anymore And you can't play God with our lives You attempted to cage every thought But resistance is locked in our minds From Millbank Tower to Tahrir Square Nobody can deny its a fact we're there And we are not leaving Til we have got freedom We are willing to bleed and even stop breathing You must have known From the rust on your throne That you can''t maintain by cutting the phones Justice alone will sustain our presence Tunisia to Libya Bahrain to Yemen I done tasted blood I done tasted sweat I done tasted tears I ain't taste regret I done tasted blood I done tasted sweat I done tasted tears I ain't taste regretNow I'm a grown man Ain't never seen my homeland Ain't been closer than a Magic Jack phone plan Dad escaped jail and he dedicated His life to the cause but he never made it This ain't about my father getting retribution Or my uncles getting tortured with electrocution Other uncles getting hung in public executions Just simply coming up with the best solution And I don't know why it seems This guy's regime Keeps pushing through the silent screams Won't take you half an hour to figure that this coward can only get his power through violent means Killing all the doctors in the hospital When the regime just seems so unstoppable When freedom feels like its impossible The people rise and overcome every obstacle!Dictators are nervous Take from the people give straight to the serpents The sick place that this earth is Will only ever change if changed for a purpose By the people For the people None are supreme All are equal There's mountains to touch The power is us Devour these cowards is out with a rush I am not a leader, a teacher or preacher My people aren't free then I am not either Refuse to be silenced And we will not stop short of removing these tyrants There comes a time to summarize events ......tense look (Sorry i need to step up my English accent game) Look up to the sky and wonder why you're next You could call this the Buitterfly effect I despise the rats That disguise the facts When they know the population is fighting back This time its bad Like the second Bouazizi to light the match
