Fajr Lyrics - Mourning In America And Dreaming In Color - Brother Ali

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 

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 

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
