[Verse 1: Brother Ali] Started rhymin' just to be somebody To make people notice me at the party And not be just the new kid that's Albino Make 'em say "Yeah I know, but have you heard him rhyme though?" Now take that same party around the globe And my story connected with a lot of folks I hope so cause that's the only thing that I know I know it so well I tell it with my eyes closed And I go with the feeling from the start Blind in the eye, so I see you with my heart And to me all y'all look exactly the same Fear, faith, compassion and pain And try as we may to mask, it remains Such as your religion or your past or your race The same color blood just pass through our veins And tears taste the same when they splash on your face The World's getting too small to stand in one place It's like we're roommates just sharing a space Can't separate and still carry the weight Gotta heal, get away from the fear and the hate Gotta shake free from them chains You see what remains, just a human being end of the day Don't matter to me what name you gave your spiritual plane Close your eyes and you'll see what I'm sayin Uh, I started rhymin just to be somebody I found out that I already was Cause can't nobody be free unless we're all free There's no me and no you, it's just us "Street Preacher" what a fan once called me I've been called worse and tried to live up Hope you don't mind a few more stories I swear to God y'all, I tell 'em with love
