Voices Of The Voiceless Lyrics

Voices Of The Voiceless by Lowkey

• From West 10 to the West Bank,
• I write righteous rhymes with my right and wrestle the devil with my left hand,
• Never work for a Zionist, never been a yes man,
• My art is like Rembrandt painting pictures of death camps,
• The average person is allergic to the words of wisdom,
• This is for everyone of Saddam’s Kurdish murder victims,
• And all the pure souls that never had the chance to speak,
• Truth pumps in my arteries and causes my heart to beat,
• For soldiers haunted and tortured by guilty memories,
• Who realised too late to reveal their real enemy,
• It’s all dead wrong
• For every victim of racist persecution from Auschwitz to Hebron,
• My words may sting cowards,
• For people that were atomised by the Thermate in the Twin Towers
• Those living through the wars,
• Ask me what I do this for,
• Put the world in its place before it put you in yours,

• What happens under darkness shall come to light,
• Can’t silence us even though you try,
• You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
• You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
• Take our freedom, Can’t take our pride,
• Come what may we will survive,
• You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless,
• You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless

• Keep my third eye hidden under my New York fitted,
• The crazy unmarried man that deserves to be committed,
• The future is encrypted in my troubled lyrics,
• Dream that I’ve been somewhere for weeks,
• then wake up in a couple minutes,
• Sweat dripping with visions of population control,
• Thoughts overflowing my world like the melting of the North Pole,
• My people are targeted by military crack committees,
• So I’m bucking at the feds like natives in Rapid City,
• Reality savage, my words are like a riot in Paris,
• The voice of the voiceless, that voice is social imbalance,
• So stand strong or sit harder in your mental palace,
• Blinded inside a Kingdom united to its old habits,
• But now, Middle Passage coming, War Chant, African drumming,
• Gatling gun humming,
• Rapid fire mechanism, reckless living,
• That checks the rhythm of perfectionism,
• Slave condition,
• While you’re singing God save the system,

• What happens under darkness shall come to light,
• Can’t silence us even though you try,
• You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
• You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
• Take our freedom, Can’t take our pride,
• Come what may we will survive,
• You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless,
• You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless

• Detain my body, but you can’t imprison my mind,
• If it’s my time I’ll probably die with my fist in the sky,
• These are the thoughts of a man who can’t escape from his coma,
• Cries of a young virgin girl who got raped by them soldiers,

• Birthing a screaming bastard, post colonial nation,
• Subject to childhood diseases, famine, war and inflation,
• Education molded you into your masters image,
• And you forgot who the fuck you were before the war was finished

• You’re hearing the ghosts of Nagasaki, You’re hearing Hiroshima,
• Beautiful babies being born with the weirdest features,
• You might never see me in the charts,
• But Inshallah my seed can see peace in Iraq,

• But peace and freedom can never be given,
• That’s historically forbidden, Cos only collision is the recipe,
• Changing the course of destiny,
• So I’m strapped with weaponry,

• Cos the government don’t give a fuck about protecting me.

• What happens under darkness shall come to light,
• Can’t silence us even though you try,
• You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
• You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless
• Take our freedom, Can’t take our pride,
• Come what may we will survive,
• You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless,
• You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless"
