lirik lagu home of the brave (rawdio) – mr. lif

mr. lif – “home of the brave”
[emcee(s): mr. lif]
[producer(s): mr. lif]
[scratches: fakts one]

[intro: sample quote from john f. kennedy’s “profiles in courage”]
“whenever we stand against the flow of opinion on strongly contested issues. a man does what he must in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures. and that is the basis for all human morality.”

[verse 1: mr. lif]
now let’s talk about self-expression, true
expression. open your minds without question
no doubt. tell me what you’re thinking about
let’s try to set aside pride and clout
can you believe i feel the same exact way you do?
you truly do believe these modern ways have fooled you
systems exist so we never meet each other
pretty soon from now, they’ll outlaw the word “brother”
and that’s true if they see you walking with a crew
if you don’t know, that means more than two
i’ll tell you what they’ll do: they’ll pull over, hunt you over
kick your -ss—nightstick to your shoulder
i know it’s unjust. as if it wasn’t enough
if you try to fight back, they’re locking your -ss up
and chuck already told you that a cell is h-ll
but i’m waiting for the phone so i’ll sit for a spell
call the guard, tell him i’m a piece of god
with no beliefs in his streets or his boulevards
i eat, read so my mental is hard
and the heat from my anger just melted the bars
they reach for their guns, so i put ‘em to sleep
break their chains and put their shoes back on my feet
he’s on the loose with no discernible scars or marks
just the mind of mandela and the heart of rosa parks
so i dip. time to see the governor and mayor
tell them life ain’t fair, see if they care
well, they do, but only if they’re on the air
so they appear to have a heart and make a flair
but they haven’t done sh-t for us and that’s a fact
their only function is to keep the funny money where it’s at
and it causes pain, stress. ask me if
we need a different way of life (yes)

[verse 2: mr. lif]
headline: bush steals the presidency. he needs
the backing of the meat. what could the remedy be?
the country’s headed for recession reminiscent of the great depression
are lives worth a world of power? easy question
planes hit the towers and the pentagon, k!lling those
the government wasn’t dependent on. it’s easy to
control the scared, so they keep us in fear with their favorite
middle eastern demon named bin laden this year
bush disguises bloodl-st as patriotism, convincing
the living to love “operation let’s get ’em”
but when he realized we don’t support their attacks
they needed something to distract—hmm—anthrax
this further demonizes afghanis, so
americans cheer while we k!ll their innocent families
and what better place to start a war, to build a pipeline
to get the oil that they had wanted before
america supported the taliban to get russia
out of afghanistan. that’s how they got the arms in
they’re in a war against the northern alliance
and we can’t build a pipeline in hostile environments
here’s what your history books won’t show:
you’re a dead man for f-cking with american dough
they’re k!lling several birds with one stone while you’re
at home with anti-terrorism up in your dome
but my eyes are wide-open and my tv is off
great ‘cause i save on my electricity cost
and you can wave that piece of sh-t flag if you dare
but they k!lled us because we’ve been k!lling ‘em for years
