Lowkey - Can't Take Our Freedom lyrics

In the darkest hours, when the world has turn away And no-one's watching when the sky has turned to grey and You have no option, when your voice is illegal Only choice for the people Is to stand up proudly in the face of d**h And it ain't waste of breath when you speak on loudly On behalf of the kids in the street with no pot to piss in Living on the young cos' their papas missing Don't know if his dead or he's locked in prison Disappeared and considered him the opposition And now have a vision of dreams I shouldn't see And could it be this close? nah It couldn't be But if the people in Egypt and Tunis can do this To decide their fate why wouldn't we More than forty years we done rocked the nation And the occupation we can not be waiting We gonn' stop debating, when one of us dies Ten jump in line ready to box the satan You can't take our freedom or take our soul Take our Freedom or take our soul You are not the one that's in control You are not the one that's in control La Ilaha Il-Allah, no power greater than God Go ahead and divide your plans, at the end of the day You are just a man [Lowkey] The movement is building When the fathers past the scars through to the children They shooting to k** them But the question I'm asking is who's gonna heal them Look up to the clear skies and down to the brown Where the blood, sweat & the tears dry We are questioning their lives And realize that is not a threat when the fear dies So we are not afraid anymore And you can't play God with our lives You attempted to cage every thought But resistance is locked in our minds From Millbank Tower to Tahrir Square Nobody can deny its a fact we are there We are not leaving until we got freedom We are willing to bleed and even stop breathing You must have known from the rust on your throne That you couldn't maintain by cuttin the phones Justice alone will sustain our presence Tunisia to Libia, Bahrain to Yemen [Khaled] I don't taste the blood I don't taste the sweat I don't taste the tears I ain't taste regret Now I'm a grown man, and never seen my homeland And because master jack phone plan Dad escaped jail and he dedicated, his life To the cause but he never made it This ain't about my father getting' retribution Or my uncle is getting tortured with electrocution Other uncles getting hung in public executions Just simply coming out with the best solution And I don't know why it seems this sky regime Keeps pushing to the silence scream It will take you half an hour, to figure that this coward Can only get his powers for violent means k**ing all the doctors in hospitals When the regime just seems unstoppable When freedom feels impossible The People rise and overcome every obstacle [Lowkey] Dictators are nervous, take from the people Give straight to the serpents The sick place that this earth is Will only ever change, if change for a purpose By the people, for the people None are supreme, all are equal There's mountains to touch, The power is us Devour these cowards with the sound as we rush I am not a leader, a teacher or preacher If my people aren't free, than I am not either I refuse to be silenced And we will not stop short of Removing these tyrants There comes a time where summarize Events gone Look up to the sky and wonder why you're next You could call this the bu*terfly Effect I despise the rats that disguise the facts When they know the population is fighting back Inside of crack, this time I bad, like the second Bouazizi Did light that match
