Messenger

Your words are weapons so use them wisely
 Shooting down yah brothers with your lyrical bullets
 Teaching the children to go to war
 Don't you know?
 Life or death comes from your tongue
 It's poison or pleasure which side are you on?
 Cut down yah sister with your piercing melodies.
 I am not the writer
 I am just the messenger
 The end is nigh, don't close your eyes
 I've got something to say but will you hear
 I've got a burden to bear
 Who will hear let him hear
 Who will fight let him go to war
 Who will dare to step out of line and
 Live for truth withheld from all?
 Who will speak let him speak
 Who will sing let them say a word
 Who will challenge the life we live
 By trying to forgive?
 Now everyday on the news the same
 Somebody's dying and someone's to blame
 They only tell you what they want you to hear
 They speak of justice but nobody lives there.
 We need a miracle to stay alive,
 Cause breathing don't count no more we got to try
 You woke this morning thinking that you're free
 Or is that what you're controlled to believe?
 I am not the writer
 I am just the messenger
 The end is nigh, don't close your eyes
 I've got something to say but will you hear
 I've got a burden to bear.
 I am not the writer
 I am just the messenger
 The end is nigh, don't close your eyes
 I've got something to say but will you hear
 I've got a burden to bear.
 Now I am not pretending
 Freedom is in ending
 It's an illusion that you're fighting for
 You're a slave to the system don't let them feed you lies no more
