The Voice Of The Unheard - Mike Posner

Last night they killed a man and then they hid behind their laws I noticed that my skin was the wrong color for my cause
but i thought...
i must do something cus' this time it's gone to far
their hate for us, was making us hate them

we put bandannas on our faces
that we'd soaked in lemon juice
to help ward of the tear gas that we knew that they would use

and we marched right through the city
but the cops they formed a line
and through a megaphone i told them why'd we come there

we're gonna fight with out minds and fight with our facts
we won't fight with guns because the enemy does that
but we'll fight with our hearts and fight with out words
cus' ours is the voice of the unheard
ours is the voice of the unheard

i put flowers in the bedroom
of an m16
the man who it belonged to, just stopped and stared at me and i thought

Martin or Malcolm... Jesus christ or Jay
they ordered us to go back to our homes now

but the people they were tired of being told what to do
some of then threw rocks at cops and others threw their shoes
and i felt
all fleshed with horror as i watched the scene play out
our hate for them was making them hate us

That's why we must fight with our minds and fight with our facts
we can't fight with guns cus' the enemy does that
but we'll fight with our hearts and fight with our words
ours is the voice of the unheard
ours is the voice of the unheard
ours is the voice of...
ours is the voice of...
the unheard!

all we want is love
all we want is love
(woaw)
all we want is love
(all we want is love)
ours is the voice of the unheard

when daddy was my age he watched his city burn
i'm 27 now, and it seems like it's my turn

cus' you know
they still kill our prophets
and we still wear our masks
and i can't tell if anything is changing
but i'm gonna fight with my mind and fight with my facts
i won't fight with guns because the enemy does that
but i'll fight with my song and fight with my words
cus' ours is the voice of the unheard
ours is the voice of the unheard
ours is the voice of...
ours is the voice of...

the unheard!

all we want is love!
(all we want is love)
all we want is love!
(all we want is love)
all we want is love!
(all we want is love)
ours is the voice of the unheard
