Allahu Akhbar

They say you promised me land, but I'm just a man
Trying to stand for myself so I don't know if I can
Hold hands
With my brother where he stand
They say you promised me land, but be honest how can
You stand on any side of a line in the sand
Old man
Why you not lending your hand

What kind of God are you
What do we gotta do
To get the truth out of you
Without having to lie to you
You remind me of my parents
With my brother and me
Misusing sticks and carrots
Like your love isn't free
Why do you have us act entitled
To what doesn't belong to us
Because it belongs to you
Did you make us strong enough
How long will the feud go on
Why it gotta be so long and rough
Can you help us do less wrong
And show us how to be as strong as your love
You sitting above, but we don't understand
It's time to come down and show us your hand
I know it's your plan but damn
The children is learning a scam
You shrugging your shoulders, you give me a wink
Then you go disappear into the sink
As quick as a blink now I think
You might destroy me for making a stink
I've taken your name in vain more than once
And I can explain
All of these days and nights
That I've taken these blunts straight to the brain
Now I'm paying a price for these stunts
But no shame - I came as I came
I think you explained it once
The same day you gave Jacob his name

They say you promised me land, but I'm just a man
Trying to stand for myself so I don't know if I can
Hold hands
With my brother where he stand
They say you promised me land, but be honest how can
You stand on any side of a line in the sand
Old man
Why you not lending your hand

My brother's in the other corner
He'll say he was here first
Passing through the hands of the
Imperialist Turks
Into another empire,
Where the sun never sets
He had a good place for a safe
Where the guns could be kept
Promises was made to him
In exchange for his assistance
In a war devoid of honesty
When they'd say to wait till Christmas
Then some years passed, I came
He saw me as younger
But my soul is much older
Got dang big little brother
If the reason that I'm there
Ain't fair to him, then I don't care
Where our parents been?
Somewhere looking down as they swear
Up and down they was there to do
Something besides just give a run around
And stare down from the top of the stairs
And it's fine that he don't care what I been through
Though I think he do
He been dared to make it him too
He just don't think it through
Wasting money on rockets
While he scream from a roof
This home don't belong to either of us
It's yours - look, we the proof

They say you promised me land, but I'm just a man
Trying to stand for myself so I don't know if I can
Hold hands
With my brother where he stand
They say you promised me land, but be honest how can
You stand on any side of a line in the sand
Old man
Why you not lending your hand

Ase imanu tzedakah vachesed,
Vehoshiyeinu.
Avinu Malkeinu,
