What I'm fighting for Is worth far more than silver and gold What I'm fighting for Is a chance to unite the past With the brother's coming home at last Fighting together for light Sons and daughters of Abraham Lay down to a higher command Don't be tricked by the acts of man Gods wisdom revealed in a holy plan A chance to unite the past With the brother's coming home at last Fighting together for light To Zion we roam and we're not all alone Unite and purify What I'm fighting for Is worth far more than silver and gold What I'm fighting for Is a chance to unite the past With the brother's coming home at last Fighting together for light To Zion we roam and we're not all alone Unite and purify What I'm fighting for

We're the reflection of imperfection We come from the infinite place of limitation Rejoice in these days, make a correction We're the completion Lights out, down for the count, and can't get up Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck And the legs of the king are dangling in a rut Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut We're not alone in the madness If we're here, then so are you Deepest caverns underground We've been digging for the truth Scrape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles Only one who'll get us out of this mess The one who put us here I've got a spear driven through my ear Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear Pistols crashing chandeliers Long for brooks of water like the deer A man is just a man Filled of faults and weakness For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless And night time, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless A man is just a man Filled of faults and weakness For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless And night time, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man Planting seeds, they won't sink in I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed From one into a billion disperse Wisdom rains like water from heaven to below Crush my earth, seeds sow, garden start to grow You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow You can't keep staring out the window Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher Spark igniter, fighting tired Stay wired, enlighten loads Stay alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by Rise to the occassion Keep these hearts all blazin Build your life on a river of wax Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning, not going away Not going away A man is just a man Filled of faults and weakness For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless And night time, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless A man is just a man Filled of faults and weakness For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless And night time, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness I feel I'm just a man

Mist rising on the horizon Listenin' with my ears and listenin' with my eyes and Listenin' until we've ridden the mud from the parasite Listenin' until our hearts start to glisten, realize Share the vision and my rhythms and we'll melt the ice Start sizzlin', spilling from the ceiling, bread dripping, drizzling Close to the broken-heart, them crushed in spirit Redeem the soul of your servant Seek his, pursue it Keep the sparkle in your eyes Oh you know, we're not gon' die, like flyin' Soul times for the times when we'll stay unified The eyes of Hashem are to the righteous and he hears their Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby Jerusalem breathes, bringin' me ease from the Brooklyn squeeze Dirty boppin' and ah bring ya down to ya knees Trap ya like a lion, not gone, fi leave me be When they come with their disease to drag us into the street My law is still pure, you can't take that from me Three thousand years until this last century Impossible to break the seal of the High Priest Yo, I say the branches on the trees gon' bow to these Swaying to the melodies Craving for the slaves to bring redemption please I am you, you are me No more leaders, we must flee We want see God in our enemy Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby
