lyrics

(Hook)

(Brother thing)
To all my brothers man, to, to all my brothers man
(Sister thing)
To all my sisters man, to, to all my sisters man
(It’s gonna take love among people)
Love, you know we gotta have that love
(Oh to bring us, hey)
Bring us what bring us what?
(Closer)
Closer

(Verse 1)
I can’t turn on the TV without me seeing
The innocence of our citizens escape through ignorance
The passion of the belligerent affect the way that we dealin’ with
Immigrants that seek some healing by finding a better living
Yet the same people tellin' me to love it or leave it
Don't even own the land we stand, but they don't wanna believe it
Because they tellin' me to leave and flee right back to where I came
And leave the place that I stay, the same place that I was raised
So listen, all this hatred in the places that we from
See we can’t drive it out with hate, we gotta drive it out with love
Hate all that you want in search of sparking a reaction
Imma stand right here and smile coz I’m aware that all that matters
Is the fact that as a person I take pride up in my heritage
I break the mould, the Pharaoh’s heart of gold’s what I inherited
Shan kolo wahed fekoom zay ekhwati (كنت كل اخوتي)
So I spit that native tongue up in my raps see, you all my brother

(Hook)

(Verse 2)
Now who are you to tell me and to try expel me
From a land that's free and wealthy, man the people should be helping
Not, holding on and clenching to a culture that's defensive
Against freeing independence, you wanna see us sentenced
In the centres of detention, as centres of attention
for media to see us as animals with a vengeance
Coz we come from different places and sought a better nation to make New Dynasty’s with patience
My grandfather and my father left their places
To come and seek greatness and me to do the same thing
In the land of opportunity it’s you and me
except you take for granted all the luxuries that you perceive
And I planned it, here what they take for granted
Is a diamond in the rough in other countries on the planet
Yeah, and man I’ve seen it, see from Sydney to Egypt
I dream it, I mean it, just wanna make peace with my brothers

(Hook) x2
