Wish Life Upon Me(global mix)

[Verse 1] Sirens sing out Another body on the cold concrete Camera on, but the judge stay blind Mama screaming in the middle of the street Blue lights flash But my people see red in they sleep Whole hood raised like hands to the sky Still they say we the wolves, they the sheep Young boy dream ‘bout a scholarship But the gang got a scholarship too Pay his fee with a trigger, little favor, little paper Who you think he gonna listen to Shot caller like a guidance counselor Showing him the “fast way out” Every mural on the wall, every face on a shirt Just another name they’ll shout [Chorus] Many men wish death upon me But I wish life upon them You wanna see my blood run free I wanna see your heart mend Many men wish death upon me Still I stand, still I breathe If you praying for my downfall Better pray your soul get freed (hey!) [Verse 2] Girl at the border with a barcode name Got sold like a seat on a plane No stamp for the trauma in her passport Only fingerprints burned by the chain Big boss in a glasshouse office Counting cash from a dirty trade Calls it “business”, calls it “service” But she call it the life he stole, unpaid Fields full of food Yet the kids in the village grow thin Lab coat smile in a TV ad Chemicals hiding in the skin Shelf full of bright-box poison Stomach full of quiet doubt We fed lies like breakfast cereal Then wonder why the truth won’t sprout [Chorus] Many men wish death upon me But I wish life upon them You wanna see my blood run free I wanna see your heart mend Many men wish death upon me Still I stand, still I breathe If you praying for my downfall Better pray your soul get freed (woh-yeah) [Verse 3] Sky full of things they can’t explain Still they funding every kind of war Spaceships, gossip, headlines While the poor man sleeping on the floor Stomach echo like a cavern School book older than the desk They chain minds with a screen and a slogan Make the mental prison feel blessed They say “hate your neighbor” But I see the same fear in their eyes We both broke, both tired, both hungry Both marching under different lies So if a many men wish death upon me I still rise, I still chant peace ‘Cause if my enemy drop in the dust That’s just one more broken piece [Chorus] Many men wish death upon me But I wish life upon them You wanna see my blood run free I wanna see your heart mend Many men wish death upon me Still I stand, still I breathe If you praying for my downfall Better pray your soul get freed (hey!) Better pray your soul get freed
