Speaking In Tongues - Hilltop Hoods, Chali 2na

Another war, another martyr revered

Passed the fear from their fathers then it’s lasting for years

Bullets don’t discriminate the skin colour they pierce

We speak the same language brother;

love, laughter and tears

Refugees trading death for a prison

While some base a set of opinions on race, sex or religion

(C’mon) Enough day-to-day stress of just living

Without giving a fuck if they’re hated just 'cause they different

Let’s do it under the name of the love that became lost

Dress it up how you want, we’re cut from the same cloth

Scars of hate, frowns stitched to our faces

Can’t escape the cage we forge, we’ve got bars to break

For those living every bit of the struggle

Given to hustle, tryna figure how they fit in the puzzle

And right now we’re in pieces and peace is the people as one

Till then we’re treated like we’re speaking in tongues, so here we come

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

Media is teaching the young, debate about belief in the one

Can make an eight-year soldier fall asleep with a gun

While tax man's hands deep in your funds, reaping your ones

Money tight like we tweaking the drums it’s like we speaking in tongues

But no book burnings or church sermons

I surf currents, my words burn like a dirt furnace

Confusion leads and anguish sells

But this music succeeds where even language fails

To convey free honest expression

It’s a problem trying to get people to acknowledge progression

My goal is to leave a lasting iconic impression

Controlling crowds like demonic possession and ain’t no time to invest in

Biting the hand that created the platform

Attaching pseudo patriotic crap to a rap song

Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one

And yet we’re treated like we’re speaking in tongues, so here we come

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I would never

Hate someone for the way that they layin' with someone else

(And if you do) The blame comes from the weight of the way that you see yourself

Take some of the weight off your plate by taking the hate away

And then maybe you’ll make your way to start loving yourself

Fear’s a cancer, logic is a countermeasure

A property that you can’t count or measure

I got a problem with people who got a problem with

The way that other people wanna live (That’s their prerogative)

They’re mad at how you love, where your prayers are going

Their anger’s like a drug, they’re mad at where you from

But fuck a redneck checking if your visa’s valid

They act like pigs and chickens, I’m sick of Caesar salad

So we seize the mallet and we swing on the ignorant

Can’t speak our language?

Then we’ll see if you can sing in it

Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one

And yet we’re treated like we’re speaking in tongues, so here we come

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

They pick me up just to pull me down

March to different drums, come from all around

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

They pick me up just to pull me down

March to different drums, come from all around

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

It’s like we’re speaking in tongues

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

I am, you are, we are one

We’re two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun

We be the left hand, right hand, right man?

But sometimes it seems like we’re speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
