[Verse]
We are the beggars, with the mind to congeal
We didn't steal it, nor mistake it for a meal
Our flock is melodic, our crop is of love
Our bellies are harmless, below and above
We are the beggars, our meadow alarmless, the dance of our ancestors heightens the charm
The riddle of pattern has flattened the stone eternal by day [?] consenting slave
Inventing onе's cage allegory of the cavе his story of the age was paid upon the page
But the book rots as blood clots as the ego of man forgot to stop
[Chorus]
It's not your property it won't be long
Till we're standing together singing freedom songs
Free, freedom songs
Free, freedom songs
Human family it won't be long
Till we're dancing together singing freedom songs
Free, freedom songs
Free, freedom songs
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
What's this land, what's this time
How can a bee not be designed
From what we find, it's pure love
Still discovering and there's your government
Trying to keep up with everyone who's bothering
Cos everyone is sovereign could be swinging from a poplar tree
But we still believe everyone can be free
We've been humming this heart-strung melody
A poignant song for this, sung for millennia
And still their selling me [?] energy
Gentrified the feminists with the gentlest of remedies
Never known no economy we've come from one and we become taxonomy
Strange fruit plagues our market landscapes, animals caged the raped rat breaks
When the rage of the activist saves the victim, and the government wage a conviction
It's all on top of me I can't think properly they used to trade black people as property
Never been so ashamed to have Caucasian skin covering these veins
When in four generations a black man is white, a white man is black
Now where the fuck we at when we're trying to justify unnecessary suffering, and brutality
"What's your nationality?"
"Human Race!"
And if you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change
[Chorus]
It's not your property it won't be long
Till we're standing together singing freedom songs
Free, freedom songs
Free, freedom songs
Human family it won't be long
Till we're dancing together singing freedom songs
Free, freedom songs
Free, freedom songs
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
It's not your property, and we're asking you to feel anthropically
Come together as one community, an opportunity for me and you to be
Here as equals among all peoples, quash the echelons of posh
You can't buy freedom with deeds and dosh, so take your mind and soul, off your payroll
We dig in dark caves just for gold and diamonds, and what do we do when we find them?
Put 'em in a deeper cave of confinement, your moral contract, out of alignment
With the cycle of eco-papers, see people make you poison nature
Now wake up, we cannot bathe in toxins, but what the prophets write us Orwellian locks in
A work of fiction [?] with a prediction of an all demise fed by green and affliction
We need to sit together in circles, hold hands share the language of love
And see purple rise out of the wise mouth that speaks the truth to you
Instead of the government lies out to trigger your instinct to fight back
Compose your bravery and pride because the right track is neither kill nor hide
Still have time to change the way we eat, change the way we live
And to change the way we treat each other. Meet your mother and don't eat meat
If you love her let her know. I wasn't born poor, I wasn't born black
I wasn't born broken but I'm turning my back on a nation waging colonial values
Yeah and when I die I'll be cremated and my ashes will be scatted on the land unfettered by a passport, flying through borders unthwarted, sailing on waters they taught us we couldn't afford
Well look what death brought us, remove your breathe and your right to roam is your reward
