Luyện nghe bài hát Beast Within

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

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

This little ditty about grade K
I was at the state fair, I the day
I was on Slurpee I had in my face
smack, it splattered all over the place

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

I could tell that kids just wanted to fight
But I want that, I just wondered why...But
Before I could wonder, I was told why
That the you knows did it to me just because I was

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

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

No problems I 'til high school came
'Til that sunny day brought in a storm of
Guys started pushin' me, talkin' skin
Messin' up my hair, pushin',

Callin' me a kind of boy, guys I were friends
All done without cause, my faith was
But back, I can see what happened
An elder of my friends must have 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 serves to spread the 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' the guy who pushed me down
Then I used that one and it got around
never got around was it was said in response
To a bigoted attack I had done nothin' wrong
I forgave and said I'm sorry to everybody and Mom
But it didn't matter, hate kept on

Despite that tit for tat, I to keep faith
Faced off with that for spreadin' the hate
day we were sittin', watchin' T-V
That Stepdad much for diversity

That Stepdad said that one word and I him to stop
But he kept on sayin' it 'til I him stop
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
explosion based solely on skin
Such just spread division, no matter who uses them
Mental of mass destruction, no one's innocent

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

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

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

I get free, it's plain as day to see
How the media's stirring up some controversy
Just to us up by gender, creed and ethnicity
Those opinion polls are phony, they just us what to think

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

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

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