Artist Database: A > Akala > Doublethink > Yours And My Children Lyrics
The second you put DoubleThink on you will be greeted by a Classical Intro, at this stage you will realise Akala is bringing a new sound to the table yet again. Akala delves into exploring the ideologies of dystopia drawing inspiration from Aphex Twin, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead and Public Enemy.
Track 6 on the album is titled Psycho and is a great example to display the boundries akala has been pushing since day one. The track is a blend of Hip Hop, Classical and Rock which on paper probably doesn't sound appealing however the Track blends perfectly. The track switches between anger, fighting for a cause and then into a mellow vibe about life, the track hits the nail on the head inreguards to the album name of 'DoubleThink'.
DoubleThink; “to simultaneously hold two contradictory beliefs at the same time, to tell deliberate lies and to forget any fact the moment it becomes inconvenient.”
The album features an array of different subject matters such as 'Yours And My Children' which speaks about issues reguarding the Police in Brazil and the killing of Favela Children. Facedown hits the nail on the head in reguards to the relationship between Men and Women in modern society. One of the best tracks on the album has got to be 'Find No Enemy' which showcases Akalas softer and more diverse side, in this track Akala touches on situations which are personal to him and also some politcal subjects.
If you're a fan of Akala or a fan of conscious rappers then we can guarantee you won't be disappointed with this album.
Yours And My Children by Akala
Yours And My Children Lyrics
- Right here, dangerous idea
- If we did this, then we couldn't feel fear
- If there's no fear, there's no control
- If there's no control, someone's gotta let go
- They say I shouldn't say too much they might delete me
- Realize I don't really care about TV
- Keep your awards, your applause I'm easy
- All I can do in this life is just be me
- Pilger can say it, so can Naomi Klein
- Its free speech for them, that's fine
- Young black rappers should utter the same words
- Utterly absurd, nutter, insane, nerd
- Even the fact I call myself black
- Social conditioning and that's a fact
- The idea of races has no factual basis
- It was made just to serve racists
- To justify to doing to some what couldn't be done
- To others, but they all are our sons
- Black or white all of our sons
- Muslim, Christian all of our sons
- Look up in the sky that's all of our Sun
- Last time I checked we only had one
- So if some were superior, others inferior, based on exterior
- Well then surely the sun would know and fall in to line?
- It would rain on your crops and not mine?
- Air would prefer to inhabit your lungs?
- Food would prefer the taste of your tongue?
- If that's not the case then nature has declared
- Despite what we say the worlds in fact fair?
- Kids in Iraq
- Yours and my children
- Kids in Iran
- Yours and my children
- Afghanistan
- Yours and my children
- Even Sudan
- Yours and my children
- Kids in Brazil
- Yours and my children
- Police drive by the favela and just kill them
- Kids in Brazil
- Yours and my children
- Police drive by the favela and just kill them
- Problem is, it feels better to feel better
- And reap without sowing
- Whatever is growing
- Never ever slowing, turn days to dark nights
- Their backs still bent from the weight of our life
- Look what I spent and gents it's half price
- Cos he is bent over the sewing machine half his life
- Don't matter that we don't pull it
- If we don't care that's our breads buttered with the bullets
- Our cars choke on blood
- Limbs in our diamond tip rings go rotten
- There's something we forgotten
- Pillars of the temple may seem separate
- But they support one roof
- If your really checking it
- All of our slaughters
- Only our daughters
- Only our self in a war that we fought with
- All corrupt laws it's, we are the causes
- Cos we can't see they're all of our daughters
- Kill a couple of us you're a devil
- If you kill a couple million of them
- Get stripes and medals
- Generals conduct the great death symphony
- Played in the key of hate
- By musicians with no rhythm but offbeat killing
- Hear the harmonies the screams of young women
- They're not important
- They are just orphans
- How can that be if they're all of our daughters?
- They're not important
- They are just orphans
- How can that be if they're all of our daughters
- Kids in Iraq
- Yours and my children
- Kids in Iran
- Yours and my children
- Afghanistan
- Yours and my children
- Even Sudan
- Yours and my children
- Kids in Brazil
- Yours and my children
- Police drive by the favela and just kill them
- Kids in Brazil
- Yours and my children
- Police drive by the favela and just kill them
- If we decided to not be divided
- Saw no one that we could side with
- All the gun and stupid violence
- All the fun of stupid tyrants
- The blood of our defiance of the laws of natural science
- Would have subsided or died a death or had no hiding left
- Instead it provided the horse to ride on to the ride of death
- We're enlightened but we don't know right from left
- Cos we're so frightened
- Its like we're blinded to the sight of death
- For all our writing only writing on the doors of death
- We're only fighting for the right to resort to theft
- We would steal the air if we could as if we're short of breathe
- Only if we're sure that it would have the cause and effect
- If some part of us good, tell me where it is kept
- Cos we are saying nothing while we crush them like a fucking pest
- If you discuss it, everybody is turning fucking deaf
- Look down at your kids, what if they were next?
- Kids in Iraq
- Yours and my children
- Kids in Iran
- Yours and my children
- Afghanistan
- Yours and my children
- Even Sudan
- Yours and my children
- Kids in Brazil
- Yours and my children
- Police drive by the favela and just kill them
- Kids in Brazil
- Yours and my children
- Police drive by the favela and just kill them
