[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Got [Em]up out of bed, was the middle of
May.
Things wasn't the best,
but they was okay.
Looked at myself, my reflection in the mirror,
when sounds from [F#m]out side stung [Em]my edge of faith.
Broken bottles and bullets in flight.
An ordinary everyday neigh
[G]borhood [Em]street fight.
Had to ask myself,
what's that got to do with me?
Went [F#m]back to bed b[Em]ut had
a bad dream.
Mountains of bodies with
bloodstreams.
A bangity bang bang, I'm up again.
Was a no dream, not [F#m]now, n[Em]ot then.
Retaliation [G]all through cre[Em]ation.
Since the beginning of time
with people of all kinds.
But I'm a human being.
Killing and hate is what I'm seeing
Hey,
General
Din, what do you think?
Eu tô desesperado, atado, sem saber
Qual a forma, qual o lado
Eu quero saber se vale a pena viver
Não pensas que fui eu que
fiz o tiro nascer
Disparo sem saber, razão do meu ser
Por que que eu sou bandido,
por que que eu tenho de sofrer
O tiro veio dali, o tiro veio daqui
O tiro veio da cidade,
nome da nossa irmandade
I raise the slate of hate,
I raise the slate of hate
The evil rulers of this planet
Put the population control
[F#m]on automatic[Em]
By planting the seeds of hate in our lands
And watering the seeds
with propaganda
Among the black, the brown,
the yellow, the red and the white
It ain't the colors,
it's a [G]hate vs. hate fight
[Em]Just trying to be me
Just want to live life, take it easy
But I can't because of the things
I see all around me
Just remember
Every year of hate
Takes 25 to evaporate
Erase this slate of hate
Erase this slate of hate
Well sometimes I think what's
this come down to?
Though we belong in [G]cages at the zoo,
[Em]tearing each other up like the cobra and the mongoose
Hanging ourselves with the [D]self -tied [Em]noose, but me,
I'm calling it quits with a bad thought
[F#m]Searching out [D]things in life [F#m]that can't be b[Em]ought,
like meeting up for a [G]peaceful get -together
Hear some old sounds and try to feel [Em]bet ter,
about ourselves and everybody around us
Let's all rope to[F#m]gether on the big peace [Em]bus,
a group of individuals riding toward the same goal
To live and live,
to [G]live until we [Em]grow old
Lengthen life spans that have
[G]grown so dis[Em]mal
Cause lately being the fittest
don't [G]guarantee surviv[Em]al
A strong man can drop just
as fast as a weak man
And none of us today is
really safe in any land
GD, what do you see?
You want to live, that's fine,
but I have to be someone
Father and grandfather
were no longer anyone
And so many governments
ruled the country
So many parties, for me, everything as it
It's all the same thing,
reality hasn't changed
Poverty, sadness, appearance, stupidity
Calls poor, poor and beats me in the city
Calls me poor,
poor and hides me from the truth
Calls me poor,
poor and takes away my equality
Pushes me, pushes me away from the city
So, just remember
Every year of hate
Takes 25 to evaporate
I raise the slate of hate,
I raise the slate of hate
But me, got faith in the
peoples of this planet
Eventually thing[F#m]s will get [G]right,
[Em]we'll land it
Upside right, nothing but clarity
Peace, love, fun, [G]no need for charity
Until [Em]that time, many [G]years from today
[Em]I'll travel my path and try not to stray
Away from understanding
peoples of all shades
Hoping fewer, we'll [G]end up in [Em]graves
I hope to see more peace
and harmony
Hopeful in every [D]land both near
[F#m]and far fr[Em]om me
Erase the slate of hate
Erase the slate of hate
Erase the slate of hate
Erase the slate of [Em]hate
[Em]You
