Brother Ali - Fajr lyrics

[Verse 1:] People ain't eating they say the reason Resources depleted for the defense I'm offended by it these authentic liars Should've been retired let me identify them You'll never get me quiet my people been inspired I'm the little fire flickering within the riot Feel it vibrate shake awake sleeping giant Keep them vibrant and vital and re-energize them Our time's arriving our shine is blinding They cry we're violent demonize it Guys on the wrong side of right find us frightening Pray lightning strike twice ice on their eyelids Isis Osiris Christ in his likeness Day of resurrection bring life to the lifeless Tear the wall down pull a crown of a tyrant Rebuild gentrify the planet for the righteous He who sacrifices for the greater good Elevate them where they should to the title of your highness Only tribe surviving is the pious, pious United by the mighty human life tie that bind us Hunger find kindness minds find refinement The sightless guided by the blind are the blindest We read the signs inscribed in the horizon Bright yellow shot through the night time fajr [Hook:] Oh thank you master for my soul Lord hold me close don't let me go Oh thank you master for my soul Lord hold me close don't let me go [Verse 2:] The long suffering long for relief The hard working meek still drowning in grief Houses are seized and they tossed in the street The orphans of greed in the culture of deceit Strong hunt the weak and the poverty steep Wages dropping beneath yet the cost still increase Officers deep keep force of police The four-headed beast wild all off the leash Hard-hearted beast with a jaw full of meat Engulfed in a feast while you starve at his feet He toss you the least little portion of a piece To the floor and expect you to rejoice when you eat Survival can seem the impossible feat But you roll up your sleeves and you sow all your seeds Toil in the soil but you're not allowed to reap So you toss and you scream like a horrible dream Woke out your sleep got you forced to your feet Feel the pulse of your people in the heart when it beat The vultures they keep bringing halt to your peace Pull the sword out the sheath keep the wolves off of the sheep [Hook]
