[Intro 1]
[C][Bb][Cm][F]
[C][Bb][Cm][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Another
war another martyr revered
[Eb]Passed the fear from their fathers
then it's [F]lasting for years
Bullets [C]don't discriminate the skin
color they pier[Gm]ce
We speak the [Eb]same language brother love,
[F]laughter and tears
[Cm]Refugees trading [C]death for a pris[Gm]on
While some base a [Eb]set of opinions on race,
[F]sex or religion
Come on, [C]enough day to day
[Gm]stress of just living
Without giv[Eb]ing a fuck if they're hated
just cause you're differ[F]ent
Let's do [Cm]it under the name of
the [Dm]love that became lost
[Eb]Dress it up how you want,
we're [F]cut from the same cloth
Scars [Cm]of h[C]ate,
frowns stitched to our faces
Can[Eb]'t escape the [Cm]cage we forge,
[Bb]we've got bars [Eb]to break
[Cm]For those [C]living every
[Gm]bit of the struggle
Given to [Eb]hustle trying to figure
how they [F]fit in the puzzle
Cause right [C]now we're in pieces
and [Gm]peace is the people as [Eb]one
Till then we're [F]treated like we're speaking
in tongues [Eb]so here we co[Cm]me
I am, [C]you are, [Cm]we are one We[Eb]'re two

[Verse 2]
sides of the same
coin, we [F]drink from the sun
We be the [Cm]left hand, [C]right hand, [Bb]right man?
But [Eb]sometimes it seems like we're speaking
in tongues [F]so let me speak on the drum
[C]I am, you are, we [Cm]are one
[Eb]We're two sides of the same coin,
we [F]drink from the sun
We be the [Cm]left hand, [C]right hand, [Bb]right man?
But [Eb]sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues
[F]so let me speak on the drum

[Verse 3]
Media is teaching [C]the young,
debate about belief in the one
Can make an eight- year [Cm]sol dier
fall asleep [F]with [Dm]a gun
While tax [C]mans hands deep in your funds,
raping your ones
Money [Eb]tight like we tweaking the drum
[Dm]s it's like we speaking in[C] tongues
But no book burnings or church sermons
[Eb]I surf currents,
my word[F]s burn like a dirt furnace
[C]Confusion leads and anguish sells
But this mu[Eb]sic succeeds
where even language [F]fails
[Cm]To convey free [Dm]honest
expression
It's a problem [Eb]trying to get people to
acknowledge progression
My goal [Cm]is to leave a [C]lasting
iconic impression
Controlling [Eb]crowds like de[Cm]monic posses
[Bb]sion and ain't no time to in[C]vest in
Biting the hand that created the platform
At[Eb]taching pseudo patriotic
[F]crap to a rap song
[C]Hoods and 2na try to unify
the people as one
And yet we're [Bb]treated like we're
speaking in tongues so here we [Cm]come
I am, you are, we are one [Eb]We're two

[Verse 4]
sides of the same
coin, we [F]drink from the sun
We be the [Cm]left hand, right hand, [Bb]right man?
But sometimes it [Eb]seems like we're speaking
in tongues [F]so let me speak on the drum
[C]I a[Cm]m, you are, we are one
[Eb]We're two sides of the same coin,
we [F]drink from the sun
We be the [Cm]left hand, [C]right hand,
[Bb]right man?
But sometimes it [Eb]seems like we're speaking
in tongues [F]so let me speak on the drum

[Verse 5]
[C]I would never
Hate someone for the way they display
love for someone [Eb]else
(And if you do)
The blame comes from the [F]weight
of the way that you see your[C]self
Take some of the weight off your plate
by taking the hate [Eb]away
And then maybe you'll make [F]your way
to start loving yourself
[C]Fear's a cancer [Gm]logic is a
[Eb]countermeasure
A property that you can't
[F]count or measure
[C]I got a problem with people
who got a [Gm]problem with
The [Eb]way that other people wanna live,
that's their prerog[F]ative
They're [Cm]mad at how you love,
where your [Dm]prayers are going
Their [Eb]anger's like a drug,
they're mad at [F]where you from
But fuck a [Cm]redneck [C]checking
if your visa's valid
They act like [Eb]pigs and chickens
I'm sick of [F]Caesar salad
So we [C]seize the mallet,
and we swing on the [Gm]ignorant
Can[Eb]'t speak our language? Then we'll
[F]see if you can sing in it
[C]Hoods and 2na try to unify
the [Gm]people as one
And yet we're [Bb]treated like we're speaking
in tongues so here we [C]come
I am, [Cm]you are, we are one [Eb]We're two

[Verse 6]
sides of the same
coin, we [F]drink from [Eb]the sun
We be the [Cm]left hand, [C]right hand, [Bb]right man?
But [Eb]sometimes it seems like we're speaking
in tongues [F]so let me speak on the drum
[Cm]I am, you are, we are one
[Eb]We're two sides of the same
coin, we [F]drink from the sun
We be the [Cm]left hand, [C]right hand, [Bb]right man?
But sometimes it [Eb]seems like we're speaking
in tongues [F]so let me [Eb]speak on the drum

[Verse 7]
[Cm]They pick me up just to pull me down
[Bb]March to different drum
[Eb]s, come from all around
[F]It's like we're speaking [C]in tongues
[Bb]It's like we're speaking [Eb]in tongues[F]
They pick me [C]up just to pull me down
[Bb]March to different drum
[Eb]s, come from all around
[F]It's like we're speaking in [C]tongues
[Bb]It's like we're speaking [Eb]in tongues[F]

[Verse 8]
[Cm]I am, you are, we are one
[Eb]We're two sides of the same
coin, we [F]drink from the sun
We be the [Cm]left hand, right hand, [Bb]right man?
But sometimes it [Eb]seems like we're speaking
in tongues [F]so let me speak on the drum
[C]I am, you are, w[Bb]e are one
We're [Eb]two sides of the same
coin, we [F]drink from the sun
We be the [Cm]left hand, [C]right hand, [Bb]right man?
But sometimes it [Eb]seems like we're speaking
in tongues [F]so let me speak on the drum
