Artiste : Brother Ali
Titre : Own Light
You´re not using your heart for
What hearts are for

They´ve been trying to shut us down our whole life

I thank God for healing
You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light
Thank God for listening, listen
You´ve been trying to build me up my whole life
I thank God for building
You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light
I thank God I´m living

Sometime I feel like a stranger, maybe I ain´t from here
World going crazy, how could that be unclear?
I know that I´m a soldier, heart´s on my battleground
Sword in the holster, had to come back around
I ain´t trying to hideaway, I just had to meditate
I ain´t got a lot to say but the ancestors may
Speaking to the whole globe, numbers don´t occur to me

You can listen so low ´cause you´re the whole world to me
I jump in with both feet nothing low key
You can find me where I´m s´posed be, where my folks be
If you listen very closely you know who chose me
Nothing that I own owns me and so I´m so free
I remember being hungry needing groceries
Nighttime getting no sleep ´til my nose bleed
Got a message to the police:

You´re not using your heart for
What hearts are for

They´ve been trying to shut us down our whole life
I thank God for healing
You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light

Thank God for listening, listen
You´ve been trying to build me up my whole life
I thank God for building
You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light
I thank God I´m living

Not for one second I believe what you´re telling me
I know you invented disease and sell the remedy
Universe is sending me centuries of memories
So that the very breath that I breathe is all I ever need
I got that Muhammad Ali up in my pedigree
Yes I be speaking my peace up in my seventies
Ain´t worry bout ya threatening me, I´m just being honest
I ain´t buying fear just because it´s all you got left

We just want to make love ´til we wake up
I believe whoever made us envisioned greatness
And you know they want to paint us with the same brush
Wanna entertain us ´til we fill our grave up
Alright okay but when it´s all said and it´s all done
And I look back at the trophies I won
I will only count one

I´m using my heart for
What hearts are for

They´ve been trying to shut us down our whole life
I thank God for healing
You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light
Thank God for listening, listen

You´ve been trying to build me up my whole life
I thank God for building
You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light
I thank God I´m living

And I know who I am, I know whose I am
When your wings are fly and your shoes are stand
I´m animated by love, I don´t move by chance
Any stage I touch, any place I stand
There y´all land, living in the world as it is
[?] I am, no more and no less than a man
Any posessions that I have are just in my head
I´m balancing the best I can
I´m not making no claims but

I´m using my heart for
what hearts are for

All the beauty in this whole life
I thank God for healing
You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light
Thank God for listening, listen
You´ve been trying to build me up my whole life
I thank God for building
You ain´t got to get me lit, I got my own light
I thank God I´m living
Just reflecting all the beauty in this whole life
