History Of Violence lyrics

[Intro]
Middle east
Lets go
Chyeaaa
Got a lot of sh*t on my chest
Lot of weight on my shoulders
Too much sh*t on my mind
I gotta let it out
My people need me
(Haaaaaaah), look we

[Verse 1]
Ain't a fool, I was born on a war torn corner
Jeneen, Falasteen, full of steam where the bombs stormed on us
Tried to escape but they never fore warned us
Wed end up with the weight of the whole world on us
Whats the difference between peace and war
You can make war from peace, but not peace from war
Maan, why you think they teach us for, what the speech is for
Can't nobody f*ckin speak no more
Maan, im getting to the point I can't breathe no more
Cause all I ever breathe is disease of war
Young soldiers die before there seeds are born
It go back and forth like somebodys keepin score
In the final they need somebody else- No
We all know they do mean help is close
I want peace, I guess that makes me a dreamer
This is for the victims of the Middle East and Katrina, yeea

[Hook]
Do we deserve this, is it worth it
Why the f*ck they got us feeling like we worthless
They do it on purpose, and its working
Heyy, I ain't tryin to say to be perfect
We had a history of violence
We had a history of violence
We had a history of violence
We had a history of violence
We had a history

[Verse 2]
We ain't askin you to love us, stop tryin to judge us
Who made the decision to go ahead and say f*ck us
What you seeing them hover
No matter how high them warplanes fly, Gods above em
What happened to Palestinian rights, Lebanese freedom
A war aimed at civilian life
Buildings get shot down, Children go fight
Millions watch but they keep on killing despite
Im watching daughters cry, over fathers that die
Hit the power plants, no power, no water supply
Forget the lies, this is when the truth comes in
They hit airports and ports and no food comes in
Ma spinning as the worlds revolving
Right now we teaching our kids
If there is problems only war can solve it
Truth or dare, tell the truth I dare
This callus betoy us like the who dont mayor
There is people out there, too broke to give us their 2 cents
I speak for them, if you relate I speak for you too then
They say peace, but--- we dont have clue when
How we let them drop bombs on the UN
Tears trickled down my face, This is a war on my race
So dont expect me to fall in my place
Thinking that kids, they can be replaced
Its a disgrace, over four million civilians displaced
Tryin to hold back the cries, one hand on his mouth
His pops died at eleven, he the man of no house
Ain't no planning it out, this what lameness is about
And you be damned if you let them kick his family out
I have seen it, in my dream and
They call us names when they acting like extremists
They left us in pieces, thats not what peace is
Thats not the teachings of Muhammad, Moses, Jesus
Come on
[Hook]
Do we deserve this, is it worth it
Why the f*ck they got us feeling like we worthless
They do it on purpose, and its working
Heyy, I ain't tryin to say to be perfect
We had a history of violence
We had a history of violence
We had a history of violence
We had a history of violence
We had a history

[Outro]
What happened to our history
All the good we have done
Yall base your opinions on us
Based on what 2 percent of
Our religion thinks
Or the race thinks
We lost a million civilians in Iraq
Thats more people than any terrorist strike ever took
We lost more american soldiers
Than we did innocent lives on September 11
How does that equal out
And it's all for oil
Money, political game, fame
What happened to be civilized people
We are a civilization, arent we?
For all the people that lost their lives in
Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon
Anywhere else across the world, this is for you
