Tessanne Chin - Messenger lyrics

Your words are weapons so use them wisely Shooting down yah brothers with your lyrical bullets Teaching the children to go to war Don't you know? Life or d**h comes from your tongue It's poison or pleasure which side are you on? Cut down yah sister with your piercing melodies I am not the writer I am just the messenger The end is nigh, don't close your eyes I've got something to say but will you hear I've got a burden to bear Who will hear let him hear Who will fight let him go to war Who will dare to step out of line and Live for truth withheld from all? Who will speak let him speak Who will sing let them say a word Who will challenge the life we live By trying to forgive? Now everyday on the news the same Somebody's dying and someone's to blame They only tell you what they want you to hear They speak of justice but nobody lives there We need a miracle to stay alive Cause breathing don't count no more we got to try You woke this morning thinking that you're free Or is that what you're controlled to believe? I am not the writer I am just the messenger The end is nigh, don't close your eyes I've got something to say but will you hear I've got a burden to bear I am not the writer I am just the messenger The end is nigh, don't close your eyes I've got something to say but will you hear I've got a burden to bear Now I am not pretending Freedom is in ending It's an illusion that you're fighting for You're a slave to the system don't let them feed you lies no more
