[Verse 1:]
Another war another martyr revered,
Passed the fear from their fathers then itâs lasting for years,
Bullets donât discriminate the skin colour they pierce,
We speak the same language brother; love, laughter and tears,
Refugees trading death for a prison,
While some base a set of opinions on race, sex or religion,
Câmon, enough day to day stress of just living,
Without giving a fuck if theyâre hated just cause youâre different,
Letâs do it under the name of the love that became lost,
Dress it up how you want, weâre cut from the same cloth,
Scars of hate, frowns stitched to our faces,
Canât escape the cage we forge, weâve got bars to break,
For those living every bit of the struggle,
Given to hustle trying to figure how they fit in the puzzle,
Cause right now weâre in pieces and peace is the people as one,
Till then weâre treated like weâre speaking in tongues so here we come
[Chorus:]
I am, you are, we are one,
Weâre two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like weâre speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
I am, you are, we are one,
Weâre two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like weâre speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
[Verse 2: Chali 2na]
Media is teaching the young, debate about belief in the one,
Can make an eight-year soldier fall asleep with a gun,
While tax mans hands deep in your funds, raping your ones,
Money tight like we tweaking the drums itâs like we speaking in tongues,
But no book burnings or church sermons,
I surf currents, my words burn like a dirt furnace,
Confusion leads and anguish sells,
But this music succeeds where even language fails,
To convey free honest expression,
Itâs a problem trying to get people to acknowledge progression,
My goal is to leave a lasting iconic impression,
Controlling crowds like demonic possession and ainât no time to invest in,
Biting the hand that created the platform,
Attaching pseudo patriotic crap to a rap song,
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one,
And yet weâre treated like weâre speaking in tongues so here we come,
[Chorus:]
I am, you are, we are one,
Weâre two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like weâre speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
I am, you are, we are one,
Weâre two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like weâre speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
[Verse 3: Suffa]
I would never,
Hate someone for the way they display love for someone else,
(And if you do)
The blame comes from the weight of the way that you see yourself,
Take some of the weight off your plate by taking the hate away,
And then maybe youâll make your way to start loving yourself
Fearâs a cancer logic is a countermeasure,
A property that you canât count or measure,
I got a problem with people who got a problem with,
The way that other people wanna live â thatâs their prerogative,
Theyâre mad at how you love, where your prayers are going,
Their angerâs like a drug, theyâre mad at where you from,
But fuck a redneck checking if your visaâs valid,
They act like pigs and chickens Iâm sick of Ceaser salad,
So we seize the mallet, and we swing on the ignorant,
Canât speak our language? Then weâll see if you can sing in it,
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one,
And yet weâre treated like weâre speaking in tongues so here we come
[Chorus:]
I am, you are, we are one,
Weâre two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like weâre speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
I am, you are, we are one,
Weâre two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like weâre speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
[Bridge:]
They pick me up just to pull me down,
March to different drums, come from all around,
Itâs like weâre speaking in tongues,
Itâs like weâre speaking in tongues,
They pick me up just to pull me down,
March to different drums, come from all around,
Itâs like weâre speaking in tongues,
Itâs like weâre speaking in tongues
[Chorus:]
I am, you are, we are one,
Weâre two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like weâre speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum,
I am, you are, we are one,
Weâre two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun,
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like weâre speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
