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

I don't usually use those big words 

Cause I don't usually deal with big people 

I find you can get a whole lot of small people 

And whip hell out of a whole lot of big people 

Murder murder murder kill kill kill 

Cannibals walk the earth and get I'll blood spill 

Eyes sunk deep in their skull their bone chill 

Few for survival most for the thrill 

Terrorism is the war of the poor 

Hold up a mirror so the script get flipped 

Cause when it's in re it ain't wrong no more 

Warfare's the terrorism of the rich 

Who's the true guerilla 

When the bomb on your body killing innocent civilians 

But a life is a life and a killer is a killer 

You're at a desk chillin' push a button kill a million

See the anguish of the parents 

When they're carrying the body of the baby that they cherish 

When innocent people perish 

It's a very thin line between a soldier and a terrorist 

Murder murder kill kill kill 

Death and destruction a cap get pealed 

Harm or heal destroy and rebuild 

Shots still ring out the blood still spill 

Murder murder kill kill kill 

Death and destruction a cap get pealed 

Harm or heal destroy and rebuild 

Shots still ring out the blood still spill 

Oas we can mutilate and mangle 

Let me give you an example what our troops are coming back to 

Cold cities where the youth are getting strangled 

The community in peril and our future looking narrow 

Your school already failed you 

Photos 

The boys in blue will nail you they salute you with a barrel 

The streets are a certified dead zone 

Decorated with chalk lines and headstones 

All the way live and every night the bullets flying 

Even if you ain't dying you a traumatized survivor 

When you grow up in a climate of overriding violence 

You will never get beyond it it's always alive inside you 

And death just surrounds you 

Fallen classmates' ghosts haunt you 

Crime just calls you cause you look at what you walk through 

Ain't certain if you'll make it ain't sure you even want to 

Murder murder kill kill kill 

Death and destruction a cap get pealed 

Harm or heal destroy and rebuild 

Shots still ring out the blood still spill 

Murder murder kill kill kill 

Death and destruction a cap get pealed 

Harm or heal destroy and rebuild 

Shots still ring out the blood still spill 

Choir 

Tears and sorrow block the sunlight 

Head low heart broke eyes closed tongue-tied 

Waters raise the tide is climbing 

Speeding time the sky is crying 

Shots are fired bombs and sirens 

War and riots mourning in america 

Now that society forgot you 

And they locked you in an obstacle course where nothing's possible 

If you slip up and they caught you 

They got boxes where they lock you make a million dollars off you 

They rule you too rude to school 

They screw you in a booth shoot electricity through you 

Or inject death into you 

On a television set and let it ooze through you 

Every time a leader tries to stand up for our freedom 

Someone claps them with the heater their brain and back leaking 

A shame their family grieving the only way to see them 

Is a displaced dream displayed in a museum 

They say they built our nation for a reason 

Then they stained it with the bleeding of the slaves that never seen it 

I ain't hating I still want to believe it 

And I'm not trying to leave it I just call it how I see it 

Murder murder kill kill kill 

Death and destruction a cap get pealed 

Harm or heal destroy and rebuild 

Shots still ring out the blood still spill 

Murder murder kill kill kill 

Death and destruction a cap get pealed 

Harm or heal destroy and rebuild 

Shots still ring out the blood still spill 

They haven't got anything to lose 

And they've got everything to gain 

And they'll let you know in a minute 

It takes two to tango. when I go, you go
