Malcolm said itMartin said itMarley said itAli said itGarvey said itToussaint said itI weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said itMalcolm said itMartin said itMarley said itAli said itGarvey said itLumumba said itI weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it[Hook]If you ain't found something to die forIf you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live[Verse 1: Akala]If you ain't found something to die for you'll never liveWe might feed and breathe but we never didAccept those with peace and equalityThey don't see what we call authorityLive, speak truth and kill them forWe love them dead when they speak no moreBut they will endure, ideas are bulletproofTooth of truth it's impossible to pull it looseWe smother any mouth, they utter itFolly Fathers fear, we Mother itWe're lovin they're corrupt governmentSo we look the other way when in our name they're strugglin'We idolize 'em and we despise 'emCos we're reminded we're the ones who are silentSo, give a moment for the times we were blindedScream at the top of your lungs like a siren[Hook][Verse 2: Akala]Maybe the wise man has nothin' to proveBut the one who has nothing has nothing to loseMore things we don't need will make more thievesMore laws we don't heed it's all SiameseWho leads? It don't matter, they can't make changeNew driver but we got no brakesWhatever the place, whatever the faceThe master never ever frees his slaveThey always knew itSo they pursue itBut we've been too divided to ever be guided through itGotta stop 'em because they're rotton from the days of picking cottonTo sell us a love song and we're so besottedSo confused, we believe their promiseBut there are some that lead more honestThey are not forgotten, though they shot'emSo scream to the top of your lungs right from the bottom!Malcolm said itMartin said itMarley said itAli said itGarvey said itToussaint said itI weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said itMalcolm said itMartin said itMarley said itAli said itGarvey said itLumumba said itI weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it[Hook][Verse 3: Akala]People don't rebel, the rebels are the tyrantsYou are not God, so we are not defyingNo human nature, just our behaviorThe oppressed wanting their oppressor as their saviourAround the globe killin', made to be religionBut the book said they're sinnin'And that is just the beginnin'Now spread democracy by dropping a bombOn a terrorist with no shoes or socksI reckon, history teaches us a lessonThe bigger terrorist is the one with the bigger weaponsThey talked but we didn't listenThey spoke and then went missin'We can't see all the things that imprison usCos we don't appreciate the freedoms that they have given usI wouldn't bet it, that we ever get itRun, tell your friends that Akala said it[Hook]Malcolm said itMartin said itMarley said itAli said itGarvey said itToussaint said itI weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said itMalcolm said itMartin said itMarley said itAli said itGarvey said itLumumba said itI weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it
