[Verse 1: Brother Ali]

Started rhymin' just to be somebody

To make people notice me at the party

And not be just the new kid that's Albino

Make 'em say

"Yeah I know, but have you heard him rhyme though?"

Now take that same party around the globe

And my story connected with a lot of folks

I hope so cause that's the only thing that I know

I know it so well I tell it with my eyes closed

And I go with the feeling from the start

Blind in the eye, so I see you with my heart

And to me all y'all look exactly the same

Fear, faith, compassion and pain

And try as we may to mask, it remains

Such as your religion or your past or your race

The same color blood just pass through our veins

And tears taste the same when they splash on your face

The World's getting too small to stand in one place

It's like we're roommates just sharing a space

Can't separate and still carry the weight

Gotta heal, get away from the fear and the hate

Gotta shake free from them chains

You see what remains, just a human being end of the day

Don't matter to me what name you gave your spiritual plane

Close your eyes and you'll see what I'm sayin

Uh, I started rhymin just to be somebody

I found out that I already was

Cause can't nobody be free unless we're all free

There's no me and no you, it's just us

"Street Preacher" what a fan once called me

I've been called worse and tried to live up

Hope you don't mind a few more stories

I swear to God y'all, I tell 'em with love
