Look into my eyes...

Tell me what you seeYou don’t see a damn thing’cause you can’t relate to meYou’re blinded by our differencesMy life makes no sense to youI’m the persecuted oneYou’re the red, white and blue
Each day you wake in tranquilityNo fears to cross your eyesEach day I wake in gratitudeThanking God He let me riseYou worry about your educationAnd the bills you have to payI worry about my vulnerable lifeAnd if I’ll survive another dayYour biggest fear is getting a ticketAs you cruise your CadillacMy fear is that the tank that has just leftWill turn around and come back
Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?Do you let your media deceive your mind?Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knowsHas our world gone all blind?
Do you know the truth of where your money goes?Do you let your media deceive your mind?Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?Someone tell me…
Ooohh, let’s not cry tonightI promise you one day it’s throughOhh my brothers, Ohh my sistersOoohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no moreOhh my brothers, Ohh my sisters
See I’ve known terror for quite some time57 years so cruelTerror breathes the air I breatheIt’s the checkpoint on my way to schoolTerror is the robbery of my landAnd the torture of my motherThe imprisonment of my innocent fatherThe bullet in my baby brotherThe bulldozers and the tanksThe gases and the gunsThe bombs that fall outside my doorAll due to your fundsYou blame me for defending myselfAgainst the ways of my enemiesI’m terrorized in my own landBut am I the terrorist?
Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?Do you let your media deceive your mind?Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knowsHas our world gone all blind?
Do you know the truth of where your money goes?Do you let your media deceive your mind?Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?Someone tell me…
Ooohh, let’s not cry tonight, I promise you one day it’s throughOhh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no moreOhh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
America, do you realize that the taxes that you payFeed the forces that traumatize my every living daySo if I won’t be here tomorrowIt’s written in my fateMay the future bring a brighter dayThe end of our wait
(pause)
Ooohh, let’s not cry tonight, I promise you one day it’s throughOhh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain’t with us no moreOhh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
Ohh let’s not cry tonight I promise you one day is throughOhh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!Ooh shine a light for every Soul that ain’t with us no moreOhh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
