37 lyrics for "Witness, witness"
I was younger than you are now When I was given my first command I led my men straight into a massacre I witnessed their deaths firsthand I made every mistake And felt the shame rise in me And even now I lie awake Knowing history has its eyes on me (whoa)
PlayThey want all for one and none for all I want to be there to witness the downfall We are paralysed What’s it going to take to get us to stand up? ‘Cause you can see it in their eyes, they don’t give a fuck So cast your votes, watch them shed their skin
PlayMother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world How can we stand aside And watch the rape of the wold This the beginning of the end This the most heinous of crimes This the deadliest of sins
PlayAll of this can be broken Hold your devil by his spoke and spin him to the ground. I might be apart of this Ripple on water from a lonesome drip A fallen tree that witness me Him and me. the life its self can not aspire To have someone be so admired
PlayEverything black, I don't want black I want everything black, I ain't need black Some white some black, I ain't mean black I want everything black Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean I'm African-American, I'm African You hate me
PlayAll this life shrouded in a veil Of deception in association But now I will witness thee With unblinding open eyes Judas I bury you in your own blood You only held me down from what I was suppose to be Ascend above the ashes of the world I once knew
PlayDo not obey Never one to be held back or held down I'd write my name so the king could see I will follow the true declaration And find some hope in what mankind could be I've worked so hard Let my deeds be my witness And let my words flow through
PlayI'm always lookin' for you Time and time again, I'm all alone Why do I pretend that I'm not cold I'm so cold, cold I'm so cold (I'm so cold) I wonder if the rain fallin' this heavily on my adversaries Why in a year, I bear witness to two obituaries
PlayCan I get a witness I want a witness Witness, witness Ah listen everybody, specially you girls Is it right to be left alone When the one you love is never home I love too hard my friends sometimes say But I believe I believe that a woman should be loved
Play
