Malcolm Said It Lyrics

• Malcolm said it
• Martin said it
• Marley said it
• Ali said it
• Garvey said it
• Toussaint said it
• I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it
• Malcolm said it
• Martin said it
• Marley said it
• Ali said it
• Garvey said it
• Lumumba said it
• I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it

• If you ain't found something to die for
• If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live

• If you ain't found something to die for you'll never live
• We might feed and breathe but we never did
• Accept those with peace and equality
• They don't see what we call authority
• Live, speak truth and kill them for
• We love them dead when they speak no more
• But they will endure, ideas are bulletproof
• Tooth of truth it's impossible to pull it loose
• We smother any mouth, they utter it
• Folly Fathers fear, we Mother it
• We're lovin they're corrupt government
• So we look the other way when in our name they're strugglin'
• We idolize 'em and we despise 'em
• Cos we're reminded we're the ones who are silent
• So, give a moment for the times we were blinded
• Scream at the top of your lungs like a siren

• If you ain't found something to die for
• If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live

• Maybe the wise man has nothin' to prove
• But the one who has nothing has nothing to lose
• More things we don't need will make more thieves
• More laws we don't heed it's all Siamese
• Who leads? It don't matter, they can't make change
• New driver but we got no brakes
• Whatever the place, whatever the face
• The master never ever frees his slave
• They always knew it
• So they pursue it
• But we've been too divided to ever be guided through it
• Gotta stop 'em because they're rotton from the days of picking cotton
• To sell us a love song and we're so besotted
• So confused, we believe their promise
• But there are some that lead more honest
• They are not forgotten, though they shot'em
• So scream to the top of your lungs right from the bottom!

• Malcolm said it
• Martin said it
• Marley said it
• Ali said it
• Garvey said it
• Toussaint said it
• I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it
• Malcolm said it
• Martin said it
• Marley said it
• Ali said it
• Garvey said it
• Lumumba said it
• I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it

• If you ain't found something to die for
• If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live

• People don't rebel, the rebels are the tyrants
• You are not God, so we are not defying
• No human nature, just our behavior
• The oppressed wanting their oppressor as their saviour
• Around the globe killin', made to be religion
• But the book said they're sinnin'
• And that is just the beginnin'
• Now spread democracy by dropping a bomb
• On a terrorist with no shoes or socks
• I reckon, history teaches us a lesson
• The bigger terrorist is the one with the bigger weapons
• They talked but we didn't listen
• They spoke and then went missin'
• We can't see all the things that imprison us
• Cos we don't appreciate the freedoms that they have given us
• I wouldn't bet it, that we ever get it
• Run, tell your friends that Akala said it

• If you ain't found something to die for
• If you ain't found something to die for, you'll never live

• Malcolm said it
• Martin said it
• Marley said it
• Ali said it
• Garvey said it
• Toussaint said it
• I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it
• Malcolm said it
• Martin said it
• Marley said it
• Ali said it
• Garvey said it
• Lumumba said it
• I weren't there but I'm sure Dessalines said it
