[00:00.000]Mourning In America - Brother Ali
[00:00.801]I don't usually use those big words
[00:02.551]Cause I don't usually deal with big people
[00:06.611]I find you can get a whole lot of small people
[00:08.181]And whip hell out of a whole lot of big people
[00:15.231]Murder murder murder kill kill kill
[00:17.431]Cannibals walk the earth and get ill blood spill
[00:20.301]Eyes sunk deep in their skull their bone chill
[00:22.981]Few for survival most for the thrill
[00:25.801]Terrorism is the war of the poor
[00:28.231]Hold up a mirror so the script get flipped
[00:30.961]Cause when it's in reverse it ain't wrong no more
[00:33.581]Warfare's the terrorism of the rich
[00:37.921]Who's the true guerilla
[00:39.051]When the bomb on your body killing innocent civilians
[00:41.541]But a life is a life and a killer is a killer
[00:44.161]You're at a desk chillin' push a button kill a million
[00:47.971]See the anguish of the parents
[00:49.721]When they're carrying the body of the baby that they cherish
[00:53.161]When innocent people perish
[00:54.911]It's a very thin line between a soldier and a terrorist
[00:58.211]Murder murder kill kill kill
[01:00.211]Death and destruction a cap get pealed
[01:03.271]Harm or heal destroy and rebuild

[01:16.261]Shots still ring out the blood still spill
[01:19.631]Overseas we can mutilate and mangle
[01:21.501]Let me give you an example what our troops are coming back to
[01:24.441]Cold cities where the youth are getting strangled
[01:26.821]The community in peril and our future looking narrow
[01:30.461]Your school already failed you
[01:32.141]The boys in blue will nail you they salute you with a barrel
[01:35.081]The streets are a certified dead zone
[01:37.451]Decorated with chalk lines and headstones
[01:40.631]All the way live and every night the bullets flying
[01:42.941]Even if you ain't dying you a traumatized survivor
[01:45.621]When you grow up in a climate of overriding violence
[01:47.991]You will never get beyond it it's always alive inside you
[01:51.981]And death just surrounds you
[01:53.671]Fallen classmates' ghosts haunt you
[01:55.501]Crime just calls you cause you look at what you walk through
[01:58.811]Ain't certain if you'll make it ain't sure you even want to
[02:02.801]Murder murder kill kill kill

[02:23.261]Tears and sorrow block the sunlight
[02:28.451]Head low heart broke eyes closed tongue-tied
[02:33.621]Waters raise the tide is climbing
[02:36.251]Speeding time the sky is crying
[02:38.861]Shots are fired bombs and sirens
[02:41.431]War and riots mourning in America
[02:50.781]Now that society forgot you
[02:52.151]And they locked you in an obstacle course where nothing's possible
[02:55.841]If you slip up and they caught you
[02:57.581]They got boxes where they lock you make a million dollars off you
[03:00.951]They rule you too rude to school
[03:02.761]They screw you in a booth shoot electricity through you
[03:06.461]Or inject death into you
[03:08.081]On a television set and let it ooze through you
[03:11.071]Every time a leader tries to stand up for our freedom
[03:13.761]Someone claps them with the heater their brain and back leaking
[03:16.131]A shame their family grieving the only way to see them
[03:18.941]Is a displaced dream displayed in a museum
[03:22.431]They say they built our nation for a reason
[03:24.181]Then they stained it with the bleeding of the slaves that never seen it
[03:27.431]I ain't hating I still want to believe it
[03:29.611]And I'm not trying to leave it I just call it how I see it

[03:55.691]They haven't got anything to lose
[03:57.251]And they've got everything to gain
[04:00.261]And they'll let you know in a minute
[04:02.201]It takes two to tango When I go you go
