Luyện nghe bài hát Beast Within

We must learn to live together as brothers or together as fools...MLK

Intro
For us to get united, spirit—say it again
For us to save our dignity, we try to forgive
Character content, that's it again
This is that cause to die for so that we can

This little starts about grade K
I was at the fair, I remember the day
I was suckin' on Slurpee I had in my
Then smack, it all over the place

I could feel the sting on my and cheeks
To out what happened I looked up to see
Three kids older, different than me
They held fly swatters ready to swing

I could tell that kids just wanted to fight
But I didn't want that, I just why...But
Before I wonder, I was quickly told why
the you knows did it to me just because I was light

Now I don't know how was all about race
I just know what happened had me in a state
God I'd heard about that man M-L-K
I him back then, I feel him more to-day

As we grew up, we were pretty friends
Yet I was taught by my elders that there was a
The difference they were talking about was on skin
the presence of the devil when they were talk-in'

No I knew 'til high school came
that sunny day brought in a storm of acid-rain
Guys started me, talkin' about skin
Messin' up my hair, pushin',

Callin' me a of boy, guys I thought were friends
All done without cause, my faith was
But lookin' back, I can see happened
An elder of my must have started talkin'

Must have opened eyes to the light man's sin
Now there's plenty of that, lived it firsthand
It comes our elders and the tele-vision
When identity is skin, it to spread the beast within

Not after I was talkin' with a gal
One who I liked, who saw me as a pal
She said that she was goin' with the guy who pushed me
I used that one word and it got around
What never got around was it was in response
To a attack when I had done nothin' wrong
I forgave and said I'm to everybody and their Mom
But it matter, hate kept marching on

Despite that tit for tat, I tried to faith
off with that Stepdad for spreadin' the hate
That day we sittin', watchin' T-V
That Stepdad wasn't for diversity

That Stepdad said that one word and I him to stop
But he kept on sayin' it 'til I made him
I grabbed him by his sweatshirt just his chin
him from the chair "Don't ya (pop-pop) say it again!"

When Mom in cryin', I let go of him
Another explosion solely on skin
Such words just spread division, no matter who uses
Mental walls of mass destruction, no innocent

A raging alcoholic, my soul wasting
Hip Hop loud in my ears all day
It's what kept me alive, but I was by the hate
It reminded me of Stepdad and the he used to say

Stepdad comes from and hate, Rap's from real pain
But the gun talk and the pride hits me about the same
And the talk of revolution, like that'll set things
Don't before you know it, there'll be no U-S-A

Words of that Stepdad echoed in my
"You better get wise boy, they want you dead"
My bob-along thought, "my heroes want me dead?"
"You better learn to shoot a gun for own self-defense?"
Those cold resounded in me
I searched for some soul, some humanity
Yet everywhere I turned, just harassing
When the Bible says one blood, one humanity

When I get free, plain as day to see
How the always stirring up some controversy
Just to us up by gender, creed and ethnicity
opinion polls are phony, they just tell us what to think

Yeah, those in charge put a nice face
But they trap us in our skin when remind us of our race
It's to distract, while things are put in place
The finishing touches on new police

If I offended any good-willed people, I apologize right now. That was not my intent. But we are being played each other. We need to forget about race and follow the money. Now that'll get us somewhere...

Outro: (2x)
For us to get united, think it again
For us to save our dignity, we try to forgive
Character content, that's it again
This is that to die for so that we can live
