Fists & Soul
If you want to live in peace
When you see agony in the streets
You got to fight, fight, fight
With your fists and soul
Babylon make man of ice,
But the foundation rotten inside
Now mama crying by candlelight,
While they drink champagne at night
They sell us fear, they sell us blame,
Call it order, law and chain
But the fist can talk when the truth must roll,
Fight those beasts with ya rebel soul
No silence when the brown man bleed
I no listen to the king decree
Justice is slow when they violence on you
So tell me now, what you gon' do?
If you want to live in peace
When you see agony in the streets
You got to fight, fight, fight
With your fists and soul
History reveals the lies
memories in the elders' eyes
From hot fields to detention line
Same whip crack, different time
They say "wait," they say "behave,"
They say "freedom comes when you obey"
But freedom never beg or crawl,
It stand upright fists raised or not at all
Hands in prayer, devils pay price
Heart the fire, melting the ice
Gift of rage and clarity
Rebel love is the strategy
If you want to live in peace
When you see agony in the streets
You got to fight, fight, fight
With your fists and soul
No war for vanity, no blood for throne
But no peace built on broken bones
Power fear when the people know
strength break ice and fake gold
Fight with your fists…
Fight with your soul…
If you want to live in peace
When you see agony in the streets
You got to fight, fight, fight
With your fists and soul
Stand your ground, sell their names
your shield is truth of fire and flame
You got to fight, fight, fight
With your fists and soul
Not for hatred, not for pride
But for the right to live upright
Till every human can walk unchained
We fight in love, live unafraid
