Spectator

[Intro] People always quick to make assumptions, and judge someone when they’ve never really been in that situation themselves [Hook] I'm just a spectator looking in But I can tell you how I think things should've been And all the reasons why the world's where it is today Please listen to my words, what I have to say [Verse 1] You see, in Gaza they're fighting for land You see, they need this land cause it's a part of their plan, understand The Jews needed a place after Hitler But they got about three quarters of Palestinian land Palestinians then had to make refuges In places like Lebanon In places where none of them had ever gone Thousands were massacred for not leaving See, I'd do the same, kill me, I'll die believing I understand the mind of a man who commits suicide But don't agree with any innocent that has to die And what's gonna happen after this? Will they stop with the Gaza strip? I don't think so I sat with a Jew to learn He told me that's it's not meant to go to Israel until the prophet returns I said is this true He told me go and read the Torah Cause if it's true, then they're following another order How can a nation that knows what it's like to be slaughtered Go and do the same to someone else? That’s a simple question That they gotta sit down and ask themselves, innit? [Hook] I'm just a spectator looking in But I can tell you how I think things should've been A couple reasons why the world's where it is today Please listen to my words, what I have to say [Verse 2] I don't know everything and never will I claim to know What our purpose is and what we really need to grow But I do know we're dying for a common cause A global word that is well known, war I've been to Africa and seen a grown man on the floor Disabled to the point I couldn't look anymore A real beggar, in a real state of poverty But he prays everyday, so he knows that there's gotta be another life Where he can live as a strong man And the ownership of Africa doesn't end up in the wrong hands, Western palms Buying and destroying people just to trade arms Could someone tell me why Africa is just surviving? The whole land was a resource plus they got diamonds Used to be able to run your hand through the sand And get a handful of diamonds, do you understand? How precious is the land if it's like that? You see, it's wrong to say it was taken by the white man It was taken by the power hungry And the people that never saw the beauty of Africa, fam They only saw the money, to them it was the land of opportunity It's terrorism when it's done by either you or me Treat these words like my eulogy And remember that I died being exactly what I choose to be Insha'Allah we all can see That God is the goodness in you and me No religion has ownership See, the Quran and the Bible and the Torah were all wrote with ink See, I think the masses are miseducated See, most of the politicians were born racist See, it's obvious that somehow we're all related Millions of years back, before we separated I heard Tony Benn say it in a speech See, how can you murder another brother because he's weak? Your ancestors could have been cousins, so take a seat And try and reason with your brother fam before you beef I'm just a spectator looking in from my view I'm not different or special, I'm just like you Bleed blood and shed tears when my heart's hurting I get energy from everything in life, I'm learning How to say my thoughts, release my stress through my words Make you visualise everything you've ever heard Picture ancient Egyptians meditating To the elements, telepathically debating Until the pirates came in the form of tradesmen Promised them a Paradise in exchange for a Heaven Temptation and misinterpretation, so they jeopardise the whole of the nation You see, a Paradise is where we might choose to go But a Heaven is the place where the angels go So they can reason with the prophets, not bathe in gold And it's not late for no one to save your soul I'm a citizen of truth, love and loyalty Every person on the planet is royalty These are my thoughts, how I look at things Fam, I'm just a spectator looking in [Outro] That’s all I can really do I can only give you my interpretation of any subject I’m just a spectator looking in
