We May Look Different
|
But We See The Same Sky
|
We may see different
|
But we cry the same cry
|
|
To wake up daily,
|
And sleep better nights,
|
Thats what we all wish for to seek a better life, right?
|
It's unfortunate, when tragedys strike,
|
But the truth is reality bites,
|
June 4th 89, a day residents fear
|
Now known as The Massacre At Tiananmen Square
|
The day I turned seven they were mourning and grieving
|
Thousands of innocents die for what they believed in
|
Come with nothing but heart and a point to prove
|
Stood infront of tanks and refused to move
|
What Would You Do?
|
Run or stand still whens your lifes on the line
|
To test a mans will
|
Seeking change and they found but in death
|
Strangers yet they were my blood and flesh
|
This happened in China,
|
But you ain't gotta be asian to relate
|
To the struggle, pain and hard aches
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You'll never know,
|
You'll never get it,
|
There is no choice,
|
We can't forget it
|
We look up
|
We see the same sky
|
We look up
|
We cry the very same cry
|
|
See, I'm a grown man
|
It hurts when I turn on the news
|
And see thats going on in my homeland
|
This SARS epidemic, could've been lives
|
Could've stand for Should Asians Really Survive
|
They'll try anything to break your family apart
|
Politics could break down the manliest heart
|
Can the child within my heart rise above
|
If theres a billion of us I shouldn't have to look for love
|
Overpopulation, but damn just to meet the needs
|
Its illegal to have more than one seed
|
How can you dictate birth regardless the women
|
And the parents they make the hardest decisions
|
Sons keep their family names so thats not an option
|
Imagine having to put your daughter up for adoption
|
And even though its beyond your control
|
Keep your head up heres a sond for your soul
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
If you don't know where you came from
|
You can't get the way your trying to go
|
Theres ain't denying so, its true
|
I got some big shoes to fill
|
But If I don't lead the movement, then who will
|
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
|
Thinking about the refugees that went to see god's place
|
16,000 miles across the ocean tides
|
Some died, some got lucky and survived
|
I wouldn't call it luck, they reached their destination
|
Modern day slavery without the plantation
|
Them sneakers on your feet cost $100 a pop
|
My peoples making 15 cents a day in sweatshops
|
To make them kicks, so you can look good.
|
Think we open restaurants cause we cook good?
|
Hell No, we ain't got no choice
|
I gotta speak up, without me my people have no voice
|
|
[Chorus x2]
|
