History Of Violence

The Middle East

Let Go. Yea.

I got a lot of shit on my chest. A lot of weight on my shoulders. Too much shit on my mind.

I gotta let it out. My people need me.

Look. Me, in four I was born in a war-torn corner.

Jenin, Phaliastine (Palestine) where the bombs stomped on us

Try to escape but they never stop falling on us

We'd end up with the weight of thw whole world on us

What's the difference between peace and war,

You can make war from peace, but not peace from war

Man, why you think they teach us for

What the speech is for

Can't nobody fuckin' speak no more

Not I'am getting to the point I cant breath no more.

'cause all I ever read is disease and war

Young soldiers die before their seeds are born

They go back and fourth,

Like somebody's keeping score

And if I know,

That mean that somebody else know

If we all know that doesn't mean that helps close

I want peace I guess that makes me a dreamer,

This is for the victims of the Middle East and Katrina

[Chorus:]

Do we deserve this

Is it worth it

Why the fuck they got us feeling like we worthless

They do it on purpose and it's workin'

Hey, I aint tryna say that we perfect

We had a history of violence

We had a history of violence

We had a history of violence

We had a history of violence

We had a history

We aint asking you to love us

Stop tryna judge us

Who made the decision to go ahead and say fuck us

But you seeing them hover

It doesn't matter how high

Them warplanes fly

God's above 'em

What happened to Palestinian right, Lebanese freedom

Or war aimed at civilian life

Building get shot down, children goin' fight

Millions watch but they keep on killing despite

I'am watching daughters that cry

Over father that die,

Hit the power plans,

No power, No water supply

Forget the lies
