“I do all the work and you get all the credit”

In one of my classes this past semester we had an interesting discussion and survey about religious beliefs of nursing students in my class. Each student had to create a nursing related survey and report their findings and one student chose this topic.

She reported that 75% of the students believe in God and 25% are atheist. She also reported that 96% of students believe that they are going to heaven if they died at the time of the survey. Many Christians posted hateful comments along the lines of “how can atheists believe that they will go to heaven if they don’t believe in God?” Acting as though atheists are brainless, when in fact, it is quite contrary.

You see, I had to point out that the study results of this student were completely invalid. This was a project for evidence-based research and you would like to think that students on my college level are more intelligent than this. So, what was the error within the study?

Question one: Do you believe in God? Yes/No

Question two: Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Yes/No

Question three: If you do not believe in God, then what do you believe? Fill-in-the Blank

Question four: If you died today, where would you go? Heaven/Hell

I had to point out multiple issues. First, the survey does not take into account any religion other than the creator’s religious ideas. Second, after 25% of students had answered that they do not believe in God in question one, they are only given two options in question four, including only heaven or hell. No atheist is going to say that they are going to hell because to not believe in a god, means not to believe in heaven or hell as well.  For the survey to be valid, it should have included an option of “rot in the ground” for question number four.

Instead of other students catching this error, they chose to attack atheists for answering that they are going to heaven. But this was not the end to the discussion on the matter.

Many students responded in discussion posts that, “I know God is real, because I couldn’t make it through nursing school without him.” I wanted to respond so badly in two different aspects. (1) Well then God deserves your degree, not you. (2) How is it that us atheists make through nursing school just fine, as well? In fact, the other honors nursing student’s I talk to are atheists.

I would like to think that spending time studying and working hard effects the outcome of nursing students, but if you want to give all credit to some invisible man in the sky that’s your choice. No other instance is there one man that receives so much credit for what other people or nature does themselves.

I must admit, that when asked what I believe as an alternative to god, I responded I believe in Evidence-Based Practice, which we had been using all semester. You see, for medical protocols to be put in place, there must be evidence-based research for it to be valid. Knowledge and scientific research has only refuted any Biblical study, never confirmed.  That’s why nut-job churches only want their children homeschooled and to learn very little science, because this knowledge abolishes any idea of creationism. It keeps the people incapable of critical thinking and understanding realism.

I read recently that Justin Beiber stated that his mother never shared Santa Clause with him, because she feared that if he believed in Santa and found out it was a lie, then he would probably not believe in Jesus. Well, let’s break this down… Why would he not believe in Jesus? Because there is no more evidence for Jesus or the stories of the Bible, than Santa Clause. In the realistic world, Jesus being the son of God is no more valid than the existence of Santa Clause.

I mean, a book about talking snakes and donkeys, penguins sharing boats with desert animals, parting waters, walking on water, turning water into wine, a man dying and coming back to life, etc… is just as absurd as a book about a fat man in a red suit that can travel the earth in one night.

My wife was joking about a zombie apocalypse the other day, and I had to catch myself from saying, “Anyone would be stupid for thinking that zombies could actually exist.” Then it occurred to me, 90% of Americans believe that a man could raise himself from the dead. And honestly, 90% of Americans are stupid.

Also, this girl later tried to post a Salvation tract and information about accepting Jesus for the nursing students who are atheist, but here’s the kicker… ON A EVIDENCE BASED RESEARCH CLASS FORUM!

I remember when I started the nursing program, I had a student say to me that “if you pray before the test, you’ll do fine” in my pathophysiology test and she was sincere in this response. And guess what, she failed out.

What an excuse for lazy people who want something but don’t want to put the time and effort into achieving it. I want money, but don’t wanna work for it… so I’ll “pray” for it. I want my marriage to get better, but I don’t wanna change my attitude… I’ll “seek god.” You know, people can get off their ass and make changes and work hard towards something, or just hope that god or some magical form will grant it. Which is the lazy way? Which is the American way?

Ready for the Truth?!

Soundtrack to the Struggle

its been a long time coming… too long
its been in the making a quarter century but its here now
if by the time you hear this album… i'm not here… you'll know why..
Too many suffering, too many tears
To see young die and I known them for years
When i look around and nobody cares and the people are living in fear
The system needs to change right now
Too much youth put in the grave right now

I cant believe I saw them cheat people

Say they would protect but then leave people

My music Is my natural resource, now I want it back
Til I sever every single chain I will not relax
Just constant attack, til my world looks like Montserrat
Contact my comrades, for combat
When you say the truth, they attack like a Saber tooth
We dont need more Boens, we dont need more Re-bores, weed or Lyor Cohens
They tell us about terrorism and tell us about terrorists
Look up the definition and tell us what terror is
Only know the definition if the television tells us it
I knew the truth since I was a small little boy
I am a product of the system I was born to destroy
On the news, they glorify their own henchmen
Support the troops, but wont mention Joe Glenton
It's funny because rappers are posing as the gangsters
While the government is taking money as bonuses for bankersIn life you learn, to close your eyes and hold your tongue
But together we will overcome, there's never been a chosen one
I will never give up, I will never just quit
I will never give in, I will never submit
The reason that I came, Is bleeding from the veins
Of the people cause we equal, only Freedom is the aim
I knew the truth since I was a small little boy
I am a product of the system I was born to destroy

If you're subordinate to corporate guys supplying you orders
You're fighting fire with fire, But Im fighting fire with waterWhen they kill me, I know I'll die with a focused mind
Plus there will be millions of me, ready to multiply
Dont just mention, acknowledge me, remember to honor me
My pen and this honesty, defending equality
Declared a republic, and ended your monarchy
Your corporate dictatorship, pretends It's democracyI hold your bloodline, accountable for every crime
Adam Smith to Rothschild, It's all been a clever lie
Two choices now, revolution or genocide,
But thanks to Rupert Murdoch neither one will be televised
I knew the truth since I was a small little boy
I am a product of the system I was born to destroy

Too Much

If you down with the rich man, Don’t you take too much,
If you laugh at a poor man, Don’t you laugh too much,
And if you need to be needed, and you’re lookin’ for purpose,
Just remember, don’t you need too much…
If you take something you, don’t need, and keep it
Then you stole it from somebody else who’s hungryEverything that you do, is everything you are

Money can buy power, but it can’t buy respect
Money can’t buy sleep, but it can buy a bed
Money can’t buy you love, but it can buy sex
Do you posses money or by money are you possessed?Money can buy a house, but it can’t buy a home
So even with money you still feel all alone
Money can buy you friends, but it can’t buy family
Money can’t make you happy, that’s just a fallacy
It can buy a bath, but it can’t buy purity
It can buy bodyguards, but it can’t buy security
While people around the world starve, I eat
Cause money can buy war, but it can’t buy peace
The society we livin’ in, it’s a necessity

Does happiness live in a mansion with a swimming pool?
I know people with plenty of money that are miserable
We all need to earn it in this world we live
Most work for it, some steal, but many worship it
Some sell poison for it, some seek employment for it
We need it to survive, so some clean the toilets for itI need papes to live but never will I live for papes
Abolish the Queen,  I don’t wanna see that bitches face
Many sell their soul for it, no not me
Some will try to tell you that it doesn’t grow on trees
I heard the sayin said, many a time, but they were wrong
Cause if it doesn’t tell me where do you get the paper from?
Most think they will be happy if they only had more of it
Some waste it, some feel more important because they’re born with it
Some have got the nerve to say they are just fortunate
The truth is you don’t need a fortune to be fortunate

Voices of the Voiceless
I write righteous rhymes with my right and wrestle the devil with my left hand,
For all the pure souls that never had the chance to speak,
Truth pumps in my arteries and causes my heart to beat,
For soldiers haunted and tortured by guilty memories,
Who released too late to reveal their real enemy,
It’s all dead wrong
For every victim of racist persecution from Auschwitz to Hebron,
My words may sting cowards,
For people that were atomisized by the Thermate in the Twin Towers
Those living through the wars,
Ask me what I do this for,
Put the world in its place before it put you in yours

What happens under darkness shall come to lightCan’t silence us even though you try,
You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless
You can never avoid the voices of the voicelessTake our freedom, Can’t take our pride,
Come what may we will survive,
You can try to avoid us but it’s pointless,
You can never avoid the voices of the voiceless

The future is encrypted in my troubled lyrics,
The voice of the voiceless, that voice is social imbalance,So stand strong or sit harder in your mental palace,
Detain my body, but you can’t imprison my mind,
If it’s my time I’ll probably die with my fist in the sky,These are the thoughts of a man who can’t escape from his coma,
Cries of a young virgin girl who got raped by them soldiers,
Birthing a screaming bastard, post colonial nation,
Subject to childhood diseases, famine, war and inflation,
Education molded you into your masters image,
And you forgot who the fuck you were before the war was finished
So I’m strapped with weaponry,
Because the government don’t give a fuck about protecting me.

Keep your Hand on your Gun

weapons for all occasions
and everyone got excited about the technology
and i guess its was pretty incredible watching a missile
fly down an air vent… pretty unbelievable
but couldn't we feasibly use that same technology
to shoot food at hungry people?
this one is dedicated to the suit wearing arms dealers
to the champagne sipping depleted uranium droppers

keep your hand on your gun don't you trust anyone
First in my scope is BAE Systems
Specialized in killing people from a distance
Power is a drug and they feed the addiction
Immediate deletion of people’s existence
Who says what is and what isn’t legitimate resistance
To push the buttons you don’t need a brave heartState of the art darts leave more than your face scarred
You might impress an A&R with your fake bars
Cause you probably think Rolls Royce only make cars
This is for the colonizers turned bomb-providers
Take this dispute all the way back to Oppenheimer
They call it warfare but your wars aren’t fair
Scam for the funds, they will mangle your son
If you try to speak out they will stamp on your tongue
To your land they will come till you stand up as oneBut It’s begun

Next in my scope is Lockheed Martin
They will tell you when the bombs need blastin’
Don’t think, just listen to the songs, keep dancin’
Do they really want us to have our own brains
Who do you think is really running Guantanamo Bay
And it might be sensitive but I’ll mention it
Who do you think has got us filling out the censuses
Who do you think is handing out the sentences
This ain’t the BBC so there’s no censorship

Terrorist?

So, we must ask ourselves, what is the dictionary definition of Terrorism? "The systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion." But what is terror?
According to the dictionary I hold in my hand, "Terror is violent or destructive acts, such as bombing committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands."So what's a terrorist?

They're calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
When they put it on me, I tell them this
I'm all about peace and loveThey're calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh how these people judge
It seems like the Rag-heads and Paki's are worrying your Dad
But your dad's favorite food is curry and kebabIt's funny but it's sad how they make your mummy hurry with her bags
Some would Rather read The Sun than study all the facts
Tell me, what's the bigger threat to human society;
B.A.E Systems or homemade I.E.D's?
Remote controlled drones, killing off human lives
Or man with homemade bomb committing suicide
I know you were terrified when you saw the towers fall
It's all terror but some forms are more powerfulIt seems nuts, how could there be such agony?
When more Israeli's die from peanut allergiesIt's like the definition didn't ever exist
I guess it's all just depending who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is
They're telling fibs, now tell us who the terrorist is

They're calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
When they put it on me, I tell them this
I'm all about peace and love
They're calling me a terrorist
Like they don't know who the terror is
Insulting my intelligence
Oh how these people judge

Lumumba was democracy
Mossadegh was democracy
Allende was democracy
Hypocrisy it bothers me
Call you terrorists if you don't wanna be a colony
Refuse to bow down to a policy of robberiesIs terrorism my lyrics?
When more Vietnam vets kill themselves after the war than die in itThis is very basic
One nation in the world has over a thousand military basesThey say it's religion, when clearly it isn't
It's not just Muslims that oppose your imperialismIs Hugo Chavez a Muslim? Nah... I didn't think so
Is Castro a Muslim? Nah... I didn't think so
It's like the definition didn't ever exist
I guess it's all just depending who your nemesis is
Irrelevant how eloquent the rhetoric peddler is
They're telling fibs, now tell us who the terrorist is
You think that I don't know, but I know, I know, I know...
You think we don't know, but we know

Was building 7 terrorism?
Was nano thermite terrorism?
Diego Garcia was terrorism
I am conscious the Contras were terrorism
Phosphorus that burns hands, that is terrorism
Irgun and Stern Gang that was terrorism
What they did in Hiroshima was terrorism
What they did in Fallujah was terrorism
Mandella ANC that was terrorism
Gerry Adams I.R.A that was terrorism
Erik Prince Blackwater was terrorism
Oklahoma McVeigh, that was terrorism
Every day U.S.A that is terrorismEvery day U.K that is terrorism

Something Wonderful
I'm tryin’ be a good man I can't speak for the others
You're judged as a man by everything you amount to
And the respect that you show the women around you
So think about that stuff when you diss her
That's somebody's daughter, somebody's mother and somebody's sister

I'm not claiming to be perfect I know what a curve is
But a woman's worth isn't just on the surface
I see too many young women craving affection
Degrading themselves for a male's attention
I know it's love that you're certain that you felt
But messing with these different guys you're just searching for yourself
We call it whore-ish to boast how high her score is
When a man does it, a player is what you call him
What if it's all just lies when she talks to guys
Displays promiscuous ways like it's all alright
Would it make you squirm if the tables turned
Is that really what it would take to make you learn
You're judged as a man by everything you amount toAnd the respect that you shown the women around you
So think about that stuff when you diss her
That's somebody's daughter, somebody's mother and somebody's sister
Something wonderful...
Behind every good man, there's a good woman

Obama Nation

This track is not an attack upon the American people,
It’s an attack upon the system within which they live.
Since 1945 the United States has attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments,
In the process the US has caused the end of life for several million people,
And condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair.

The strength of your dreaming prevents you from reason,
The American dream only makes sense if you’re sleeping,It’s just a cruel fantasy; their politics took my voice away,
But their music gave it back to me,
The land where the lumpen are consumed by consumption,
Killing themselves to shovel down food in abundance,
I guess a rapper from Britain is a rare voice,
America is capitalism on steroids,Natives kept in casinos and reservations,
Displaced slaves never given reparations,
Take everything from Native Americans,
And wonder why i call it the racist experiment,
Afraid of your melanin, the same as it’s ever been,
That aint gonna change with the race of the president,
I see imperialism under your skin tone,
You could call it Christopher Columbus syndrome.

Is it Obama’s nation? Or an abomination?
Doesn’t make any difference when they bomb your nation.

The world’s entertainer, the world’s devastator,
From Venezuela, to Mesopotamia,
Your cameras lie, cause they have to hide the savage crimes,Committed on leaders that happen to try and nationalize,
Eating competitions? while the worlds been starving,
Beat up communism with the help of Bin Laden,
Where would your war of terror be without that man,
Every day you create more Nidal Hassan’s,
Kill a man from the military, you’re a weirdo,
But kill a wog from the Middle East you’re a hero,Your country is causing screams that never reach your ear holes,
America inflicted a million Ground Zero’s,Follow the dollar and swallow your humanity,
Soldier’s committing savagery you never even have to see,
Those mad at me, writing emails angrily,
I’m not anti-America, America is anti-me!
I don’t care if him and Cheney are long lost relations,
What matters more is the policies, I lost my patience,
Stop debating bringing race into the conversation,
Occupation and cooperation equals profit making,
It’s over; people wake up from the dream now,
Nobel peace prize, Jay Z on speed-dial,
It’s the substance within, not the colour of your skin,
Are you the puppeteer or the puppet on the string?,
So many believed it was instantly gonna’ change,
There was still Dennis Ross, Brzezinski and Robert Gates,
What happened to Chas freeman? (AIPAC),
What happened to Tristan Anderson?,
It’s a machine that keeps that man breathing,
The wars on, and you morons were all wrong,
I call Obama a bomber cause those are your bombs
Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn't say shit
After you divorce yourself from the right wing
Propaganda campaign, it's all simple and plain
America customized the game
Your president got an African name, now who you gonna blame?When they drop them bombs out of them planes
Using depleted uranium, babies looking like two headed aliens
Follow the money trail it leads to the criminal
Ain't nothing subliminal to it, that's how they do it
What they do in the dark will come out in the light
Like a wiki leaks site
So I guess Nkrumah was right, who's ready to fight?
Last stage of imperialism, I ain't kiddin
In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye 'This ain't living'

O.B.A.M.A
You ain't fooling everyone I see the games you play
You was V.I.P. at the B.I.C
And we know that's code name for C.I.A
The same way your cameras are watching us we're watching you
Think we're easy to control you ain't got a clue
Revolutions on the way, let's see what your gonna do
You gonna send the troops? You gonna drop the nukes?See it's not where you're from it's where you're at
He's sitting in the White House so who cares if he's black
And why's there soldiers still out there in Iraq?
Natural resources ain't yours, its theirs give it back!
You're just another puppet but i'm not surprised
Look at Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice
They didn't change shit, house nigga's fresh off the slave ship
You'll all burn in hell

Was the bigger threat from Osama or from Obama?
I say things that other rappers won't say
Cause my mind never closed like Guantanamo Bay
Hope you didn't build a statue or tattoo your arm
Cause the drones are still flying over Pashtunistan
Did he defend the war? No! He extended more
He even had the time to attempt a coup in Ecuador
Morales and Chavez, the state's are on a hunt for ya
Military now stationed on bases in Columbia
Take a trip to the past and tell em I was right
Drones over Pakistan, Yemen and Libya
Is Obama the bomber getting ready for Syria?
First black president, the masses were hungry
But the same president just bombed an african country

Cradle of Civilization
The pride I never had, the nationality that I never felt,Saddam was bad, and the American's even more so,
But I never picked up a grenade in my garden,
I never saw people I love die starving,
I never saw my family die through many years of sanctions,
While the rulers family lived in palaces and mansions,
Never had a family member kidnapped for a ransom,
Never lost a friend to violence that was random,
Bombings, occupation, torture, intimidation,
A million dead people doesn't equal liberation,
Forget division based on ethnicity or religion,
Whether your Sunni, Shia, Kurdish or Christian,
Pain is just pain if a person is missing,
We all deserve a life in this earth that we live in,Are there enough words that can say?
How deeply Baghdad is burning today,
Its not about pity, hand outs, or sympathy,
Its about pride, respect, honour and dignity,
Babies being born with deformities from Uranium,
Those babies aren't just Iraqi or Mesopotamian,
What I view on the news is making me shiver,
Because I look at the victims and see the same face in the mirror,
This system of division makes it harder for you and me,
If peace is a question, the only answer is unity,

Blood, Sweat and Tears
Yeah, this is how hunger sounds,
And I'm the hunter now, 'Lash the lion heart,
A.K.A. the man behind the iron mask
For ten years straight, I've been raising the iron bar
Tryna breathe the life back into this dyin' art
So why try and par? When you'll meet the same fate as that lion Scar
But who knows what the future holds?
These N.W.O. soldiers will probably shoot me cold
All because the truth was told
You should know I did it from the heart.

I’m still here, pushing after several years,
I’m still here, standing strong, never in fear,
I’ll be still here after the dust settles and clears,
I’ll be still here after the blood, sweat and the tears,

You empower the powerful, I empower the powerless

They'll play you on the radio if you rap about a Gucci belt
But rap about the government; you might as well shoot yourselfIndustry fairies say I rap about conspiracy theories
Just to hide the fact that they lyrically fear me
Got that eye of a tiger, the heart of a lion
The mind of a lifer, my stance is defiant
I rise like a phoenix, immediate from the ashes
My existence is inconvenient for the massesThough we are equal, I despise an imitation
I live for my people and die for liberation
I stand as a visionary; some have got plans of killin' me
To literally vanish me physically like Aborigines
Hannibal with the mask, an animal with the bars
I'm grappling with my shackles, I channel it through my art
Feel it in the ambience, champion, heavyweight
My life is nothin' but my pride is somethin' that you can never take
They think I'm elusive or think I'm a nuisance
I swear these major labels must think that I'm stupid
Keep your 360's you're convincing these dudes with
Like I'll give you the blueprint for pimpin' my music… No

This is for the child that is searching for an answer,
I wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter,
While we listen to shallow tunes, made by ignorant fools,Israel blocked the UN from delivering food,
They'll bring in the troops and you won't even glimpse at the news,
They make money of the products that we are quick to consume,
It's not simply a question of differing views,
Forget emotions, this is fact, what I spit is the truth,
Makes no difference if you're a Christian or if you're a Jew,
They are just people living in different conditions to you,
They still die when you bomb their schools, mosques and hospitals,
It is not because of rockets, please god can you stop it all,
I'm not related to the strangers on the TV,
But I relate because those faces could have been me,Words can never ever explain the raw tragedy,
It's not a war they're just murdering more rapidly,
We are automatically supporting pure savagery,
Imagine how you'd feel if it was your family,

And when your sipping Coca-Cola,
That's another pistol in the holster of a soulless soldier,
You say you know about the Zionist lobby,
But you put money in their pocket when you're buying their coffee,
Talking about revolution, sitting in Starbucks,
The fact is that's the type of thinking I can't trust,
Forget Nestle,
Obama promised Israel 30 billion over the next decade,They're trigger happy and they're crazy,
Think about that when you're putting Huggies nappies on your baby,

Why do you think little boys are throwing stones at tanks?
We will never really know how many people are dead,
They drop bombs on little girls while they sleep in their beds,
Don't get offended by facts, just try and listen,
Nothing is more anti-Semitic than Zionism,
So please don't bring bad vibes when you speak to me,
I know there's plenty of Rabbi's that agree with me,
It's your choice what you do with this message,
Don't get it confused;
I view this from a truly human perspective,How many more resolutions have to be violated,
How many more children have to be annihilated
Israel is a terror state, there terrorists that terrorize
I testify, my television televised them telling lies,
This is not a war, it is systematic genocide

Everything I Am

Everything I am, Is everything I want to be
I am no rolemodel I am not Mr.Perfect
Been bitten a couple of times and I did deserve it
Everyday livin and learnin through these written verses
My life is a sacrifice, I wonder is it worth it?
People can change, Im living physical proof
Im not important, or special or different from youTo other people, I may seem like a good advisor
But to myself I feel like a dirty womanizer
I am just a man, I will never be a celebrity
That is a mantra that I will cling to the death of me
Dont wanna feed my kids the very treachery they fed to me
Preferbly the aim is equality eventually
Dont relegate me below, or elevate me above to you
Needless to say, In either place Im uncomfortable
I treat you as an equal, Im simply a man
Your brother in humanity is everything that I am

Listen close to the words that was sang in the chorus
There's a big difference between fans and supporters
Never asked to be scrutinized or consumerized
Or treated differently to any other human life
Most dont, but some do and It saddens me
Force fed celebrity to subdue our humanity
See the false image depicted and think It's purity
When beneath that image they hold more insecurities
Than you do, but sometimes It's hard to see who's who
There's more to life than twitter followers and youtube viewsAnd if I came across like I was cocky I am sorry
You were born an original so please dont die a copyDont relegate me below, or elevate me above to you
Needless to say, In either place Im uncomfortable
I treat you as an equal, Im simply a man
Your brother in humanity is everything that I am

 

My Soul

They say The fool thinks himself to be wise,

but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.I say that, to say this.
You might take my life,
but you can't take my soul!
You might take my freedom
but might can't take my soul!They can't use my music to advertise for Coca Cola
They can't use my music to advertise for Motorola
They can't use my music to advertise for anything… But truth!

I guess that's the reason the industry won't let me in
Refuse to be a product or brand, I'm humanRefuse to contribute to the gangster Illusion
Whether I'm number One, Number two, or Number Three
I'm unique and there will never be another me
and there never be another you
be proud of who you are, don't copy what the others do
they are not superior, you are not inferior
When we realize that is gonna be hysteria
Im Not commercial, always controversial what my pen has written
when they listen many have risen from the mental prison
That's why you won't see my face upon the television
But every time i try to sleep I hear the devil singing

They can't use my music to advertise a watch or your car
They can't use my music to advertise a drink you got at the bar
They can't use my music to advertise for anything…. But truth!

 I guess that's the reason the industry won't let me in

My Integrity is the reason I'm thinking separatelykeep your three-sixty I can do this independently
It's likely I'm quite mad (why?)
Because I say with ease that slavery gave the streets Nike's and Ipadsthey don't like my rhymes, see my style is like lecture
but I'd rather die, than smile with my oppressor
I'm an honorable student, with the facts and you're Judas
your not Hip Hop or Grime, your just McDonald's music
Not commercial, always controversial what my pen has written
when they listen many have risen from the mental prison
That's why you won't see my face upon the television
But every time i try to sleep I hear the devil singing

Million Man March

Whether it's a cancer patient or assassination
Or I fought for emancipation
My intentions were pure, you can debate 'em
But no, I 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 exaggerationWe 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 foughtPeace is something I would really adore
But we are at war so give me a sword
I'm merely a corpse, but still be assured
When you kill me there will be a million more
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 death I will multiplyMy back's against the wall
But you can't kill 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 returnBut as millions I'll return
But as millions I'll return

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 assured
When you kill me there will be a million more

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?

My back's against the wall
But you can't kill 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

Let me add that all of these lyrics were written by Britain recording artist Lowkey. Let me also say that as an American, I am not proud of my country, but I DO support Barack Obama! Take a look at our other options and America is going to be a Capitalist, Materialistic, Control Freak that seeks war and extraction of natural resources, slave labor and excessive profits… NO MATTER WHO IS PRESIDENT!

I understand Lowkeys anger towards our president for him not stopping the wars and violence and controlling ways. But viewing America from the outside looking in, I do not think they see clearly why someone like myself does support Barack Obama. Obama is by far the best option for president, moreso than any other individual in our nation. The problem is the system, not the president. And if a president slightly tries to change the fucked up system here in America, he will be rejected and despised.
