ASK (Always Seeking Knowledge) - Dance in the Shade lyrics

Pursuit- of wealth causes wars said Hemmingway Salute- people gone away, from Ghana to Norway Or USA, where an entire generation is locked away A modern day slave ship in the shape of a subway Masquerade, far from what mainstream media portrayed Nourish people with fear of the unknown, they'll invade But ask yourself, who was the first to engage in crusade People punished by the state- suffering from a blockade Figured that you have the power once people are afraid But forgot that the will of people is sharp like a blade Come out in the light, no need to dance in the shade Buried in the bricks of the world, sleep well lil' girl You are perfectly imperfect, you are indeed a pearl Feel you are full of fear & fire, like a fire whirl Condemned to live a lifeless life in the line of fire Why wouldn't you be the one to shine & admire Preach to the choir, cuz you won't ever reach a liar Although forgotten, don't forget, loyalty doesn't expire A middle finger for the one who says ‘don't aim higher' Don't back down on your dream or rights- out of politeness And at the end of the day- don't follow- but be the righteous Trust, this advice is priceless, in a world so mindless Buried in the bricks of joy, sleep well lil' boy Kids ain't supposed to play with guns but a toy Am I guilty, my tax money paid for that bomb So somehow responsible for murdering your mom Seek forgiveness from above, not through a song Can't convince one who intends to misunderstand Can't communicate with crooks who stole the land Bailout banks, but brothers failed the West Bank Cowards spread democracy through tanks, thanks -ASK
