Same Cry Lyrics - Rest Is History - Jin

LT; talking: 

We may look different 

But we see the same sky 

We may see different 

But we cry the same cry 

Jin; rapping: 

To wake up daily and sleep better nights 

That's what we all wish for to seek a better life, right? 

But the truth is reality bites 

June 4th, '89, a day residents feared 

Now known as The Massacre at Tiananmen Square 

The day I turned seven, they were mourning and grieving 

Thousands of innocent died for what they believed in 

Armed with nothing but heart and a point to prove 

Stood in front of tanks and refused to move 

What would you do? Run or stand still? 

When the life's on the line to test the man's will 

Seeking change and they found it, but in death 

Strangers, yet they were my blood and flesh 

This happened in China but you ain't gotta be Asian 

to relate to the struggle, pain, and heartache 

So...

LT; singing: 

We'll never know 

You'll never get it 

There is no choice 

We can't forget it 

When we look up 

We see the same sky 

When we look up 

We cry the very same cry 

Jin; rapping: 

See, I'm a grown man 

It hurts when I turn on the news 

And see what's going on in my homeland 

The SARS epidemic could've been lies 

Could've stand for "Should Asians Really Survive?" 

They'll try anything to break your family apart 

Politics will break down the manliest heart 

Can the child within my heart rise above? 

If there's a billion of us, 

I shouldn't have to look for love 

Overpopulation, but damn, just to meet the needs 

It's illegal to have more than one seed? 

How can you dictate birth, regardless to women 

And the parents, they make the hardest decisions 

Sons keep their family names, so that's not an option 

Imagine being forced to put your daughter for adoption 

And even though it's beyond your control 

Keep your head up, here's a song for your soul

LT; singing: 

We'll never know 

You'll never get it 

There is no choice 

We can't forget it 

When we look up 

We see the same sky 

When we look up 

We cry the very same cry 

Jin; rapping: 

If you don't know where you came from 

You can't get the way you trying to go 

Ain't no denying so, it's true 

I got some big shoes to fill 

But if I don't lead the movement, then who will? 

Stuck between a rock and a hard place 

Thinking about the refugees that went to see God's face 

Sixteen thousand miles across the ocean tides 

Some died, some got lucky and survived 

I wouldn't call it luck, they reached their destination 

Modern-day slavery without the plantation 

Them sneakers on your feet cost a hundred a pop 

My people's making 15 cents a day at sweatshops 

To make them kicks so you can look good 

Think we open restaurants 'cause we cook good? 

Hell no, we ain't got no choice 

I gotta speak up, without me my people have no voice 

LT; singing: 

We'll never know 

You'll never get it 

There is no choice 

We can't forget it 

When we look up 

We see the same sky 

When we look up 

We cry the very same cry 

We'll never know 

You'll never get it 

There is no choice 

We can't forget it 

When we look up 

We see the same sky 

When we look up 

We cry the very same cry
