Lowkey – Million Man March Lyrics
Lyrics
- You might take my life
- But you can't take my soul
- You can't take my soul
- You might take my freedom
- But you can't take my soul
- You can't take my soul
Verse 1
- Whether it's a cancer patient or assassination
- Or I fought for emancipation
- My intentions were pure, you can debate 'em
- But no, never ever shook hands with Satan
- My fans are amazing, I thank and praise 'em
- When I die, don't cry, just congratulations
- A million more feet will stamp the pavement with plans of changes
- no exaggeration
- We will not be ignored
- You'll be rocked with the force of the bombs that you dropped in these wars
- I will not be bought
- And I consciously thought it was wrong, so I constantly fought
- Peace is something I would really adore
- But we are at war so give me a sword
- I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured
- When you kill me there will be a million more
Chorus
- Born alone and die alone
- Those words ringin' inside my dome
- Best friends are the pen and the microphone
- Roamin' until I find my way home
- Turn my body cold but my soul is mine
- Take a deep breath and I close my eyes
- I will go when I'm supposed to die
- But in death I will multiply
- My back's against the wall
- But you can't kill us all
- Even if you take my life
- Still we will survive
- We shall overcome
- And the tables will turn
- Today I die as one, but as millions I'll return
- But as millions I'll return
- But as millions I'll return
Verse 2
- In these critical times don't be really surprised
- If I get victimised by Gideon's spies
- I sympathise with that Brazilian guy
- On the tube, but we're used to the hideous lie
- Your civilians die - millions cry
- Our civilians die - they're militants, right?
- How silly am I to be figuring why
- The injustice is clear, and I feel it inside
- Hear me in Gaza, here me in Glasgow
- Hear me in Baghdad, hear me in Plaistow
- Clearly they hear me from here to Chicago
- Think things are all good but they aren't though
- Peace is something I would really adore
- But we are at war so give me a sword
- I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured
- When you kill me there will be a million more
Chorus
- Born alone and die alone
- Those words ringin' inside my dome
- Best friends are the pen and the microphone
- Roamin' until I find my way home
- Turn my body cold but my soul is mine
- Take a deep breath and I close my eyes
- I will go when I'm supposed to die
- But in death I will multiply
- My back's against the wall
- But you can't kill us all
- Even if you take my life
- Still we will survive
- We shall overcome
- And the tables will turn
- Today I die as one, but as millions I'll return
- But as millions I'll return
- But as millions I'll return
Verse 3
- My people are bleedin'
- So I'm readin' and seekin' the deepest of meanin's
- My demons are breedin'
- In my sleep I can feel it, I need to defeat 'em
- My temperature's risin'
- If tempted I'll rise with the temper of Tyson
- Resent all the violence
- Cause of people with tension
- It tends to divide them
- The pen that I write with
- Is better than a sword when I strike with the strength of a Titan
- My friends are still fighting against all the tyrants
- So then why would it end when I die then?
- Peace is something I would really adore
- But we are at war my pen's killing your sword
- I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured
- When you kill me there will be a million more
Chorus
- Born alone and die alone
- Those words ringin' inside my dome
- Best friends are the pen and the microphone
- Roamin' until I find my way home
- Turn my body cold but my soul is mine
- Take a deep breath and I close my eyes
- I will go when I'm supposed to die
- But in death I will multiply
- My back's against the wall
- But you can't kill us all
- Even if you take my life
- Still we will survive
- We shall overcome
- And the tables will turn
- Today I die as one, but as millions I'll return
- But as millions I'll return
- But as millions I'll return
- You might take my life
- But you can't take my soul
- You can't take my soul
- You might take my freedom
- But you can't take my soul
- You can't take my soul
- You might take my life
- But you can't take my soul
- You can't take my soul
- You might take my freedom
- But you can't take my soul
- You can't take my soul
