Bells Of War Lyrics

• Let me give you some real shit for a second,
• Yo, listen...
•  
• Five hundred years of tears, we still here
• Standing strong, the only thing that we fear
• The reflection in the mirror, the hate is deep
• It's been this way since Willie Lynch made the speech
• Divide and rule got us all by the balls
• The referee's cheatin', but we playin' by the rules
• Even after all the rape and the killing
• We still let the same man educate our children
• There's been no apology, we still forgivin'
• And he's got the cheek to portray us as the villain
• Look across the globe at the way we are livin'
• The darker the skin, the realer the condition, no coincidence
• We built the whole western world for free
• And what thank you did we get? To be hung from trees?
• We been whipped, been stripped of our truth
• But we still standin', a tree without roots
• Black rose from the concrete, the petals is damaged
• But surely you see the beauty of what just happened
• What don't kill you, make a nigga strong, that's a fact
• And we've been abused for so long, you do the math
