Artist: The Brothahood Album: Lyrics of Mass Construction Song: The Silent Truth Typed by: lugzlebo@gmail.com [Jehad] Uh... Yeah man I'm feeling this Byron The silent truth man... racism everywhere man Cronulla riots... [Moustafa] I can feel your eyes on me but I ain't in the wrong Keeping to yourself scared that my beard hides a bomb Tensions climbing higher than that ape King Kong Label me a thug because I'm from Lebanon But you're wrong... [Hesh] I'm like any other Aussie I Try to ride a train but you always got to stop me Because of 9/11 now you all want to drop me Little do you know that your thinking is kind of sloppy.. [Jehad] Now watch me, but you don't know my next move Thinking I'm going to blow you up, this ain't a cartoon You need to back up and give a brother room Breathing down my neck waiting for the next boom [Ahmed] Mr. smartass talking racist on my back Can't build the courage to speak his mind where I'm at Views need reforming, I'm sick of talking Ignorance got the whole nation up and roaring Now were calling to all our dedicated Nas Let's show Australia that we can have a blast Not blowing up, because that's what you thought But we're blowing up because I'm speaking from my heart now [Chorus] Brothahood is what this nation needs Four young bloods to lift up the self esteems Four young bloods to aspire to their dreams The Brothahood is what we need [Jehad] Passing time and we're still walking circles Born and raised here yet I still face hurdles My skin's a little brown and my name ain't Shane Because I'm a little different u calling me insane? [Ahmed] From beer I refrain, prayers I maintain I can't get on a plane without coping all the blame People can't you see that we're are all the same Children of Adam but we're playing the blame game It's a shame... [Hesh] And that's the damn well truth If I hear another word I'm going to cut your ass loose News got you scared that I'm going to knock out your tooth So gullible, you believe in mother goose - How cute But that doesn't make it right Australia is mine too so I'm going to put up a fight You want to send me back? [Moustafa] Yo - send me back where? [Hesh] Australia is the place where I let down my hair [Moustafa] You don't care, but that's in your nature To find an excuse they can to rate and then hate you Looking back in time it's a game who to blame If only the mouth moved with caution, and less shame I'm a peaceful kind of guy, man sit with us Hating on me because television got you brainwashed Pick up a book and educate your mind And next time you see me we'll greet with Salaams [Bridge] Bo brother Bo Brother Bo Brothahood X2 [Ahmed] Peace be upon him, peace be upon you Black yellow white or blue I'm a man understand I respect you Can't tell the difference I'm human too Let me make it easy here's one and two Add two more and now you've got four It's The Brothahood we want to hear you roar [Bridge] Bo Brother Bo Bo Brotha hood x2 [Chorus] [Hesh] I won't blindly listen, give in, or be driven But I will make sure that I be forgiven Because I open up my mind and I realise That behind these lines what's a truth from a lie [Ahmed] I'm a freedom fighter and a poem writer I rhyme tighter because I'm a Quran reciter It's The Brothahood, we repping deen with rhythm If you ain't feeling it then that's your decision [Jehad] My third verse, no time to rehearse I immerse from here to Perth while protecting my turf My heart bursts with anger and passion at the same time I love my deen like dead hearts like to waste time All I ask is that we're all treated equally And that my name won't make you scared to speak to me [Ahmed] To everybody here we all look different Who cares what people say, these are gods finger prints Look at me, from my head to my toe I've got a beard and a cap and I still flow If you want to call me words I don't care If u want to know me, I don't mind your stare but... [Moustafa & Ahmed] Let me tell you - I drop bombs that consist of massive rhythms Let me tell you - you can't touch my rhymes without heat mittens Let me tell you – I've been rhyming kid since you were in the womb I used to watch the news while you were watching Loony Toons [Jehad] Greasy hoons, that's what they like to call us We want to speak our minds but they just ignore us Frustration building and they asking what's the fuss They make me want to cuss, and cause ruckus, They make me want to bust and try to earn my trust I want to be just live life righteous So I ease my mind, man call the chorus [Bridge] x2 [Chorus] x2
