Dear Brother

歌詞

Dear brother When you gonna call back your mother? She thinks you're sleeping in the gutter We both know you can do better When you gonna write your older brother? A letter Hey man I miss you, gettin' my shit together And for the record I wrote this note as a reminder Hermano mio there's a future We can believe in It's gonna take more than songs of justice and freedom There's a future, we can believe in Gonna take more than songs of justice and freedom Freedom! Yeah If you're thinking, about leaving Hold my hand, understand this too can be a kingdom Blessed and when the rain comes Put your hands in the dirt, baba this is where you came from This is where you came from This is where you came from This is where you came from Systems broken no fucks given Wealthy people living off the backs of the broken Dreams of America Dreams of America Need a pipe carrier Let me smudge you off so the vision can get clearer Your mother's crying boy can you hear her? You gotta put down the weight You gotta get out of your way You gotta put down the weight You gotta get out of your way Dear lover You can find me on the front lines covered In the blood and tears of another Brother, sister, mother Revolutions being broadcast on Facebook and Twitter There's a noise I can hear it when the megaphone roars Wipe the tears from this tear gas choice We have a choice Stand in front of your fear, baby, time to find your voice It's a story A love story We can believe in Death, birth, your life's worth is trending A story A love story How vain are we to expect a happy ending? I got my hands up Follow directions still they shoot us I'm fucking sick and tired of no justice No peace Promise me I'll never pick your body off the streets We're all taking heat here The trust is broken I don't get these police Disenfranchised step in to a new life Maybe if you listen to the wind there's a war cry Peace in America Peace in America Be decent America Let me smudge you off so the vision can get clearer Your mother's crying can you hear her? What I see, in you A young tree bearing fruit Place to start Don't hide behind your heart You gotta put down the weight You gotta get out of your way You gotta put down the weight You gotta get out of your way Ye tiahu Ye tiahu Tiahui Yaotecame tlalpixque (Tiahui) Ximohuala nikan cenyiliztli Juntar los pueblos Empieza con la familia Hermano luchamos por lo k dijo la abuelita (es tiempo) I can see it in grandma's eyes My ancestors wildest dreams, we survived genocide This goes out to all the young souls that never made it Promise me I'll never pick your body off the pavement Rematriate the land that they've taken The water they've poisoned My people been praying for peace Hands up don't mean they won't shoot Uniting at the borders A generation facing the truth Se acabo el silencio Bullets fly by raining in the night time yuh Round the world tribes gather as the tides rise Put down the weight my love this is our time What I see, in you A young tree bearing fruit Place to start Don't hide behind your heart You gotta put down the weight You gotta get out of your way You gotta put down the weight You gotta get out of your way
