Oh my God Who’ll wipe her tears When I’m away They say my time has come That I can’t stay I.C.E. at the Door Coming for me To take me home Take me somewhere I ain’t ever been before I.C.E. at the Door I.C.E. at the Door Coming for me To take me home Take me somewhere I ain’t ever been before I.C.E. at the Door Hypocrisy is evident It’s written all over your president Orders come down - say we got to leave We’d rather run than leave our families Cause that’s like dying a slow death Pull my beating heart from my chest or Just hang me from a tree It makes no difference man It makes no difference to me I.C.E. at the Door Coming for me To take me home Take me somewhere I ain’t ever been before I.C.E. at the Door I.C.E. at the Door Coming for me To take me home Take me somewhere I ain’t ever been before I.C.E. at the Door The black and brown Helped build this place Despite the hate You can’t replace us Built your roads Teach in your schools Go feed your children The bad news That we’ll be gone In the morn We’re moving on to another place Cause, where we come from It ain’t nothing nice Cartel leave you dead Make you pay the price To feed the appetite of America, yeah The war on drugs failing ya I.C.E. at the Door Coming for me To take me home Take me somewhere I ain’t ever been before I.C.E. at the Door I.C.E. at the Door Coming for me To take me home Take me somewhere I ain’t ever been before I.C.E. at the Door I.C.E. at the Door Coming for me To take me home Take me somewhere I ain’t ever been before I.C.E. at the Door

Civil War 04:14

You must understand The temperature is rising Are we in the final hour? We’ve become so divided Like two alternate realities Where fact and fiction are not what they seem When everything is an offense You can’t argue with no common sense They say they want a civil war What are we fighting for Why are we fighting We must unite They say they want a civil war What are we fighting for Why are we fighting We must unite We must relearn our history One drop is all it takes for you to be Considered inferior, the enemy Collecting arms as he plots to deceive But he’s patient, got his arms stashed in the basement Waiting for the day to come for our genocide He don’t even need to try, cause we’re our own demise But he’s patient, got his arms stashed in the basement Waiting for the day to come for our genocide He don’t even need to try, cause we’re our own demise They say they want a civil war What are we fighting for Why are we fighting We must unite They say they want a civil war What are we fighting for Why are we fighting We must unite What will it take to bring us unity Forgive and stop the murder in the streets Have we all become our own worse enemies Dying from within then we blame society All the self-hatred, another black life being taken Wasted, black on black murder is suicide If you believe the lies, we are our own demise All the self-hatred, another black life being taken Wasted, black on black murder is suicide If you believe the lies, we are our own demise They say they want a civil war What are we fighting for Why are we fighting We must unite They say they want a civil war What are we fighting for Why are we fighting We must unite They say they want a civil war What are we fighting for Why are we fighting We must unite United United

People live without love But nobody lives without water Some are waiting on a flood Sea level getting higher Fire could burn down all of the trees And still, some don’t believe The earth, air, land, and the seas We must give back what we’ve received What’s in the water Everything everything What’s in the water Everything What’s in the water Everything everything What’s in the water It’s everything People don’t know the worth Its value is not perceived There is no equivalent on earth This calamity has been foreseen Now pollution take over the sea And still, some can’t conceive The rivers, ponds, lakes, and the streams Can we save humanity What’s in the water Everything everything What’s in the water Everything What’s in the water Everything everything What’s in the water It’s everything What’s in the water Everything everything What’s in the water Everything What’s in the water Everything everything What’s in the water It’s everything It’s everything

Silence Is Violence 05:06 video
lyrics

A toy gun in his hand Playing in the park He‘s only 12 years old But he’s bigger than the other boys Got a vivid imagination Pretends he’s gonna save the world Then the popo come and they say You better show me your hands Through the window of a patrol car Shot him down like a man Even though the caller said the gun was probably fake That was Tamir’s fate His sisters on her way But she didn’t make it there on time She’s only 14 years old She said, did they just take my brother's life Is it just her imagination Cause she can’t believe her eyes And then the popo turn her way And cuff her hands Stick her in the back of the patrol car They got blood on their hands She closed her eyes and prayed This wasn’t Tamir’s fate Your silence is violence Your silence is violence Your silence is violence Your silence is violent Your silence is violence Your silence is violence Your silence is violence Your silence is violent Then the popo turn and they say We had to shoot this man We feared for our lives so we had no choice They say we got blood on our hands Had to do what we do to keep the public safe So don’t be afraid Your silence is violence Your silence is violence Your silence is violence Your silence is violent Your silence is violence Your silence is violence Your silence is violence Your silence is violent I’m not ready I’m not ready I’m not ready to say goodbye I’m not ready No, I’m not ready I’m not ready, I’m not ready to say goodbye I’m not ready I’m not ready No, no, I’m not ready I’m not ready, I’m not ready to say goodbye

Mansa Musa 03:44

Lies all of our lives I just think we’ve been desensitized To all of their crimes and all of their violence They’re killing us like we are going out of style Descendants of Kings, the most powerful beings We’ve walked this earth since its birth They will leave you lying in a hearse Thinking your brother is an enemy and a curse Don’t listen to them, float like the wind And treat your brother like you were them And treat your brother like you were them Mansa Musa The Sultan of Mali My history didn’t start in a cotton field Mansa Musa The Sultan of Mali My history didn’t start in a cotton field Cries, all of the cries All the mothers left empty inside Most of the brothers locked up in the pen Will they ever get to hold their children again We’re killing ourselves That’s just the way Brainwashed away Taught us to hate the color of our skin So you begin Bleach it to win Lighten the skin Don’t bleach it again. Mansa Musa The Sultan of Mali My history didn’t start in a cotton field Mansa Musa The Sultan of Mali My history didn’t start in a cotton field Mansa Musa The Sultan of Mali My history didn’t start in a cotton field Mansa Musa The Sultan of Mali My history didn’t start in a cotton field Mansa Musa The Sultan of Mali My history didn’t start in a cotton field Mansa Musa The Sultan of Mali My history didn’t start in a cotton field Cotton field Didn’t start in a cotton field Cotton field Didn’t start in a cotton field

I gave up on love So it seemed Then you walked into my life Just like a dream If you only knew what I thought then We just sat down for hours talking Didn’t notice the time go by All I know is it felt right I knew The first time that I saw you I knew right from the start I knew right from the start It’s like I knew you In another life Where we were star-cross lovers This time we’d get it right I always knew what I wanted If I let you go I’d be haunted For the rest of my life Our souls are intertwined I knew The first time that I saw you I knew right from the start I knew right from the start I knew I knew I knew I knew The first time that I saw you I knew right from the start That you would have my heart And we would never part ways I knew right from the start That this was destiny And we were meant to be here I knew I knew I knew I knew The first time that I saw you I knew right from the start That you would have my heart And we would never part ways I knew right from the start That this was destiny And we were meant to be here I knew I knew I knew I knew The first time that I saw you I knew right from the start That you would have my heart And we would never part ways I knew right from the start
