Speaking In Tongues Restrung (feat. Chali 2na)

Another war

Another martyr revered

Passing fear from their fathers

Then it’s lasting for years

Bullets don’t discriminate

The skin color they pierce

We speak the same language brother

Love, laughter and tears

Refugees trading death for a prison

While someone bakes a set of opinions on race

Sex or religion

C’mon, enough day to day stress of just living

Without giving a fuck

If they’re hated just cause they different

Let’s do it under the name of

The love that became lost

Dress it up how you want

We’re cut from the same cloth

Scars of hate

Frowns stitched to our faces

Can’t escape the cage we forge

We’ve got bars to break

For those living every bit of the struggle

Given to hustle trying to figure how they fit in the puzzle

And right now

We in pieces and peace is the people as one

'Till then we’re treated like we're speaking in tongues

So here we come

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin

We drink from the sun

We be the left hand

Right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues

So let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin

We drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues

So let me speak on the drum

Media is teaching the young

Debate about belief in the one

Can make an eight-year soldier

Fall asleep with a gun

While tax man's hands deep in your funds

Reaping your ones

Money tight like we tweaking the drums

It’s like we speaking in tongues

But no book burnings or church sermons

I surf currents

My words burn like a dirt furnace

Confusion leads, and anguish sells

But this music succeeds

Where even language fails

To convey

Free honest expression

It’s a problem trying to get people to acknowledge progression

My goal is to leave a lasting iconic impression

Controlling crowds like demonic possession

And ain’t no time to invest

In biting the hand that created the platform

Attaching pseudo patriotic crap to a rap song

Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one

And yet we’re treated like we’re speaking in tongues

So here we come

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin

We drink from the sun

We be the left hand

Right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues

So let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin

We drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues

So let me speak on the drum

I would never

Hate someone for the way that they layin' with someone else

And if you do, the blame comes from the weight

Of the way that you see yourself

Take some of the weight off your plate

By taking the hate away

And then maybe you’ll make your way to start loving yourself

Fear’s a cancer

Logic is a counter-measure

A property that you can’t count or measure

I got a problem with people who got a problem with

The way that other people wanna live

That’s their prerogative

They’re mad at how you love

Where your prayers are going

Their anger’s like a drug

They’re mad at where you from

But fuck a redneck checking if your visa’s valid

They act like pigs and chickens I’m sick of Caesar salad

So we seize the mallet

And we swing on the ignorant

Can’t speak our language?

Then we’ll see if you can sing in it

Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one

And yet we’re treated like we’re speaking in tongues

So here we come

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin

We drink from the sun

We be the left hand

Right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues

So let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin

We drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues

So let me speak on the drum

They pick me up just to pull me down

March to different drums

Come from all around

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

They pick me up just to pull me down

March to different drums

Come from all around

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin

We drink from the sun

We be the left hand

Right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues

So let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin

We drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues

So let me speak on the drum
