Lowkey - Million Man March lyrics

[Intro] You might take my life But you can't take my soul You can't take my soul You might take my freedom But you can't take my soul You can't take my soul [Verse 1] Whether it's a cancer patient or a**a**ination Or I fought for emancipation My intentions were pure, you can debate 'em But no, never ever shook hands with Satan My fans are amazing, I thank and praise 'em When I die, don't cry, just congratulations A million more feet will stamp the pavement With plans of changes, no exaggeration We will not be ignored You'll be rocked with the force of the bombs that you dropped in these wars I will not be bought And I consciously thought it was wrong, so I constantly fought Peace is something I would really adore But we are at war so give me a sword I'm merely a corpse, but still be a**ured When you k** me there will be a million more [Pre-Chorus] Born alone and die alone Those words ringin' inside my dome Best friends are the pen and the microphone Roamin' until I find my way home Turn my body cold but my soul is mine Take a deep breath and I close my eyes I will go when I'm supposed to die But in d**h I will multiply [Chorus] My back's against the wall But you can't k** us all Even if you take my life Still we will survive We shall overcome And the tables will turn Today I die as one, but as millions I'll return But as millions I'll return But as millions I'll return [Verse 2] In these critical times don't be really surprised If I get victimized by Gideon's spies I sympathize with that Brazilian guy On the tube, but we're used to the hideous lie Your civilians die - millions cry Our civilians die - they're militants, right? How silly am I to be figuring why The injustice is clear, and I feel it inside Hear me in Gaza, here me in Glasgow Hear me in Baghdad, hear me in Plaistow Clearly they hear me from here to Chicago Think things are all good but they aren't though Peace is something I would really adore But we are at war so give me a sword I'm merely a corpse, but still be a**ured When you k** me there will be a million more [Pre-Chorus] Born alone and die alone Those words ringin' inside my dome Best friends are the pen and the microphone Roamin' until I find my way home Turn my body cold but my soul is mine Take a deep breath and I close my eyes I will go when I'm supposed to die But in d**h I will multiply [Chorus] My back's against the wall But you can't k** us all Even if you take my life Still we will survive We shall overcome And the tables will turn Today I die as one, but as millions I'll return But as millions I'll return But as millions I'll return [Verse 3] My people are bleedin' So I'm readin' and seekin' the deepest of meanin's My demons are breedin' In my sleep I can feel it, I need to defeat 'em My temperature's risin' If tempted I'll rise with the temper of Tyson Resent all the violence Cause of people with tension It tends to divide them The pen that I write with Is better than a sword when I strike with the strength of a Titan My friends are still fighting against all the tyrants So then why would it end when I die then? Peace is something I would really adore But we are at war my pen's k**ing your sword I'm merely a corpse, but still be a**ured When you k** me there will be a million more [Pre-Chorus] Born alone and die alone Those words ringin' inside my dome Best friends are the pen and the microphone Roamin' until I find my way home Turn my body cold but my soul is mine Take a deep breath and I close my eyes I will go when I'm supposed to die But in d**h I will multiply [Chorus] My back's against the wall But you can't k** us all Even if you take my life Still we will survive We shall overcome And the tables will turn Today I die as one, but as millions I'll return But as millions I'll return But as millions I'll return [Outro] You might take my life But you can't take my soul You can't take my soul You might take my freedom But you can't take my soul You can't take my soul You might take my life But you can't take my soul You can't take my soul You might take my freedom But you can't take my soul You can't take my soul
