Lyrics:
Don't, Don't, Don't, Dont take innocent life, life, life
Born with the spirit, born with the spirit of the Lord.
Kill women and children tell me really what you gonna prove,
Just your a coward and lone wolf
Bringing shame to your own roof
And only pain you be going to.
In groups and religions, there's always dudes on the fringes
Who make ruthless decisions and justify killing
They work on convincing, individuals they tend to be
violent with they tendency, quick to make up enemies
Thinking that only way to solve the crisis
Is to kill and to make their heart cold as ice is
Scripture teaches every life is priceless
And you don't know if somebody will later be righteous
Misquoting verses just to prove what they need to
Utopia and heaven they will claim they have the keys to
But, Change will never come just by go and killing people
Entrapment is real, only hell this can lead to
[Chorus]
One innocent life, we know that it's like,
Killing all humanity and that ain't nothing light
Scripture told us, every human soul is,
Precious in the sight of the Lord, you should know that
To the innocent trapped in the aftermath
Of blood and tears, Allah sees it all
To the men who sat in dark rooms,
With the schemes of smoke plumes, Allah sees it all,
To munafiq who only enter masjids to prey on the weakest,
Man you gonna get yours!
To the sponsors of war leaving scores,
Shocked and appalled, man Allah sees it all
But if you ask me, what do I see,
So many moving with those selfish type of tendencies
Gotta handle the offense that they handed me
You did it for the Lord? Na, that was Iblis
Shot up the club, then he gotta it
Bombed the city, now you're patriotic
Bloody regimes, that are despotic
Meet Allah like that, forget about it!
[Chorus]
Don't take innocent life,
Because it is like,
Killing all humanity
And that ain't nothing light
All the Prophets told us,
That every single soul is
Born with the spirit of the Lord.
The first casualty of war is the truth
Then the second is the youth
Send them off to die when they young
Like right before they can understand what they’ve done
Now why is this done, how does it begin
We let the means justify ends
We hope the ends will wipe away the sins that have been committed
But ya’ll don’t get it, you got me.
How’d we justify Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Mic drop! Bombs falls.
Two whole cities, killed ‘em all
All the men, the women,
the children... and the dogs!
[Chorus]
Don't, Don't, Don't, Dont take innocent life, life, life
Born with the spirit, born with the spirit of the Lord. [z4V9k8UDcJo] |
