Wir wehr'n uns lyrics

Ich hör die Gefangenen

Hörst du sie auch?

Ich hör sie sehr leise, sie sagen

Holt uns hier raus

Denn wir wurden hier eingesperrt

Aufgrund unsrer Herkunft

Und weil wir uns schwertun

Alles zu glauben und mehr tun

Wir kehr'n um, wir wär'n dumm1

[Hook:]

Wir wehr'n uns

Trotz der Entbehrungen

Wir sagen, erklärt uns

Was hier entstehen soll2

You can't gun me down like a Martin Luther

Now I feel we time and we come for take over

Jah send, we come as rebellion

I en I are one in a million

You keep it real, I keep it real with you

Man a cut an clear rasta gane true

Them don't have a idea and them don't have a clue

Many are call, the chosen are few

[Hook]

Wanna put me in bars when the stars realign

You can lock up my body but can't take my mind

You can punish me, even if you torture

But can't explain how He walked on water

It really seems like jails are for black men

Segregated like Jews or Sumerians

Truth be told, they already have us locked

With diseases, plagues, conspiracies, plots

Economics a prison without chains

The shitstem - I can see the stains

Sonn we will see who's the true revolutionary

We breaking out, our only hope you are ready

[Hook]

1. I can hear the prisoners

Can you hear them too?

I can hear them ever so faintly, saying

Get us out of here

Because we've been locked up here

On grounds of our heritage

Or because we're having a hard time

Believing what we're told; and more so

We're turning around, we'd be dumb not to2. We're fighting back

Despite the austerities

We're saying, explain yourselves

And what you're building here
