• Can't Take My Freedom

Verse 1 (Khaled M)

In the Darkest Hour

When the world has turned away

And no one’s watching

When the sky has turned to gray

And you have no options

When your voice is illegal

Only choice for the people

Is to stand up proudly

In the face of death

It ain’t a waste of breath

When you speak up loudly

On behalf of the kids in the street with no pot to piss in*

Living on their own cause their papa’s missing

Don’t know if he’s dead or he’s locked in prison

Disappeared, they considered him the opposition

And now I’m having visions and dreams I shouldn’t see

Like could we be this close? Nah couldn’t be

But if the people in Egypt and Tunis could do this, decide their fate…then why wouldn’t we?

More than 40 years he done brought the nation under occupation

We can not be waiting

We gon’ stop debating

When one of us dies, TEN jump in line ready to box with Satan

[Chorus]

You can’t take our freedom or take our soul

Take our freedom or take our soul

You are not the one that’s in control

You are not the one that’s in control

La illaha illallah

No power’s greater than God’s

Go ahead and devise your plans

At the end of the day you are just a man

Verse 2 (Lowkey)

The movement is building

When the fathers pass the scars through to the children

They’re shooting to kill them

But the question I’m asking is “Who’s gonna heal them?”

Look up to the clear skies

Then down to the ground where the blood, sweat, and the tears dried

We are questioning their lies

Realize that there’s not a threat when the fear dies

So we are not afraid anymore

And you can’t play God with our lives

You attempted to cage every thought

But resistance is locked in our minds

From Millbank Tower to Tahrir Square

Nobody can deny its a fact we’re there

And we are not leaving

Til we have got freedom

We are willing to bleed and even stop breathing

You must have known

From the rust on your throne

That you can”t maintain by cutting the phones

Justice alone will sustain our presence

Tunisia to Libya

Bahrain to Yemen

[Chorus]

Verse 3 (Khaled M)

I done tasted blood

I done tasted sweat

I done tasted tears

I ain’t taste regret

I done tasted blood

I done tasted sweat

I done tasted tears

I ain’t taste regret

Now I’m a grown man

Ain’t never seen my homeland

Ain’t been closer than a Magic Jack phone plan

Dad escaped jail and he dedicated

His life to the cause but he never made it

This ain’t about my father getting retribution

Or my uncles getting tortured with electrocution

Other uncles getting hung in public executions

Just simply coming up with the best solution

And I don’t know why it seems

This guy’s regime

Keeps pushing through the silent screams

Won’t take you half an hour to figure that this coward can only get his power through violent means

Killing all the doctors in the hospital

When the regime just seems so unstoppable

When freedom feels like its impossible

The people rise and overcome every obstacle!

[Chorus]

Final Verse (Lowkey)

Dictators are nervous

Take from the people give straight to the serpents

The sick place that this earth is

Will only ever change if changed for a purpose

By the people

For the people

None are supreme

All are equal

There’s mountains to touch

The power is us

Devour these cowards is out with a rush

I am not a leader, a teacher or preacher

My people aren’t free then I am not either

Refuse to be silenced

And we will not stop short of removing these tyrants

There comes
