Brother Ali - Own Light (What Hearts Are For) by rhymesayers published on 2017-02-27T21:43:51Z Pre-order now: http://rse.lnk.to/AllTheBeauty Brother Ali: I’m honored to present "Own Light", the theme song of my new album "All The Beauty In This Whole Life”. Healthy hearts house the light that animates all that we are, and everything we do. The light in our hearts is what allows us to hear, heal and be whole. No matter how they repackage their dreary fearfulness, they'll never plant that flag over here. I'm using my heart for, what hearts are for. Lyrics: "You're not using your heart for What hearts are for They've been trying to shut us down our whole life I thank God for healing You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light Thank God for listening Listen you've been trying to build me up my whole life I thank God for building You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light I thank God I'm living Sometime I feel like a stranger Maybe I ain't from here World going crazy How could that be unclear Know that I'm a soldier Hearts are my battle ground Sword in the holster Had to come back around I ain't tryna hide away I just had to meditate I ain't got a lot to say But the ancestors may Speaking to the whole globe Numbers don't occur to me You can listen solo Cause you're the whole world to me I jump in with both feet Nothing low key You can find me where I'm supposed be Where my folks be If you listen very closely You know who chose me Nothing that I own owns me And so I'm so free I remember being hungry Needing groceries Night time getting no sleep Till my nose bleed Got a message to the police... You're not using your heart for What hearts are for They've been trying to shut us down our whole life I thank God for healing You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light Thank God for listening Listen you've been trying to build me up my whole life I thank God for building You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light I thank God I'm living Not for one second I believe What you're telling me I know you invent the disease And sell the remedy Universe is sending me Centuries of memories So the very breath that I breathe Is all I'll ever need I got that Muhammad Ali Up in my pedigree Yes I'll be speaking my peace Up in my seventies Ain't worried about you threatening me I'm just being honest I ain't buying fear Just because that's all you got left We just wanna make love Till we wake up I believe whoever made us Envisioned greatness And you know they wanna paint us With the same brush Wanna entertain us Till we fill our grave up Alright OK but When it's all said and it's all done And I look back at the trophies I've won I will only count one... I'm using my heart for What hearts are for They've been trying to shut us down our whole life I thank God for healing You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light Thank God for listening Listen you've been trying to build me up my whole life I thank God for building You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light I thank God I'm living And I know who I am I know whose I am On your wings I fly In your shoes I stand I'm animated by love I don't move by chance Any stage I touch Or any place I stand There y'all land Living in the world as it is Cracked vessel I am No more and no less than a man Any possessions that I have are just in my hand I balance them the best that I can I'm not making no claims but... I'm using my heart for What hearts are for All the beauty in this whole life I thank God for healing You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light I thank God for listening Listen you've been trying to build me up my whole life I thank God for building You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light I thank God I'm living Just reflecting all the beauty in this whole life" Genre Hip-hop & Rap Comment by nah ❤️ 2023-10-25T00:08:08Z Comment by Spenny G. covid 2021-11-18T18:14:26Z Comment by TC not for 1 second do I believe what your telling me/I know you invent the disease and sell the remedy 🙏 powerful bars 2020-05-22T13:22:23Z Comment by mayaaa Toronto misses you!
