So! In the beginning There was a hum From a poet whose pulse fell Drum drum drum! He would perform prayers and all Till one day he heard a voice call Come come come! Suspicious he moved With vicious caution Dismisses, He thinks is a little often People get held back By the void inside 'em. Yo! The void said, I'm poised to speak inside you "Rejoice then please let me invite you To evil, greed and lies too." Yeah! Confused and dazed He moved in ways He soon became "Hakuna" A knock on his door, his heart is no more A knock on his door, his soul is no more Yeah That was in the beginning As the story goes on So The poets got a proposal He would always hope but never know What it feels To be free. He would be the frozen Imposed as the chosen, All laws oppose him But it would be greed. That's got him there He's power-hungry, And proud too. People don't care, people just care Evil don't care, evil just care Yeah! That was In the beginning There was a hum. Then things changed. They say It is better to light a candle than to curse the dark in the eyes of the youth There are question marks Like freedom. Freedom for the mind and soul, We don't see them. See them for their worth at all, That's why we lead'em Lead'em to these wars And what is it we feed 'em. Feed em our impurities And who it is we treat 'em Treat em like the enemy Humanity will need'em. Need 'em like the blood we spill And we're freedom Freedom for the hearts we fill We mislead 'em. They hunger for the love we give But we cheat 'em. The guys beat him and all he wants Is his freedom, So they defeat him, Whatever spirit hes got. Beat him! And they teach him The rest of the world don't need him And he believes. In the disease that hes heathen Put up your fists if all you want is freedom Put up your fists if all you want is That was in the beginning Then things changed Yeah! And we keep holdin' on, And we keep bein' strong And we keep goin' on And on and on and on
