Bars Like Mars Intro: Hey, give us your chocolate and your freedom Give us your chocolate and your freedom I said, hey, give us your chocolate and your freedom Give us your chocolate and your freedom x2 Chorus: I got Bars like Mars but without the children's tears Companies and traffickers know to exploit your fears Money is funny till the humour disappears And anticipation dissipates as well as the revere x2 First Verse: I got bars like Mars but without the child labour Even without a slave I got the wild flavour Now it looks stupid that we used to all complain about our school When that's all these children want. I'm a fool, I'm a fool How'd I not know this? Did I not notice? These sneaky motherfuckers never told us what they sold us Telling us life is sweet as the chocolate and the sodas When in reality it's breaking bones of kiddies shoulders Your reaction is merely a fire in the flood Lost my appetite and comfort now it's time i lose my blood For the children I will die, found my purpose through the sacrifice Still the villainous are acting nice in the afterlife And in the instance they call me a hippie freak Don't ask yourself the question: Did he speak? But rather: Did I listen? Did I cry with little kids in prison? And they almost all black if I forgot to mention No money, no education, just a pot to piss in I think that God forgot the mission And they do it all for paper, yeah they do it all for paper Just a paper and a pen, that's all these kids are wishing Chorus: I got bars like Mars but without the children's tears Companies and traffickers know to exploit your fears Money is funny till the humour disappears And anticipation dissipates as well as the revere x2 Second Verse: Why are we here? I thought it was to love They feed you competition so you'll be the one above Cooperation will kill them, they know that it's the answer Life's a bitch but that don't ever mean you can't advance her You don't ever need to ask these children what hopeless means Cocoa beans built off broken dreams I got bars like Mars but without the diabetes Fuck the chocolate, you should buy my CD's Outro: Hey, give us your chocolate and your freedom Give us your chocolate and your freedom I said hey, give us your chocolate and your freedom Give us your chocolate and your freedom x2

Nauru 03:45
Nauru Chorus: Nauru Nauru Nauru, scared to see what they might do, I want a life too Nauru Nauru Nauru, your ethnicity does not define you, I want a life too Verse: I been in this place for way too long, don't noone care if i'm alive I been in this place for way too long, don't noone care if i survive Oh, I know that god will help me I know that god will help me I miss my family, hope my mama healthy Mama i know that we had to leave But the guard just told me you a fucking rat to me Harassing me, i wish that it was only verbal, but mama they've tried to touch me They know there isn't much we, can do i've told the nurse but she saying that she can't hear it Something about 2 years in jail if she interfering What?! They tryna silence us, they tryna silence us And I thought back home was where the violence was I'm dying from loneliness and all i see is crying children I've been here enough to know these guards ain't gonna heal them Only faith in god is keeping me alive Truthfully it's cause they don't let me suicide, but in my mind I'm dead, it's over, this life was a waste Mama you swore that we were going to a better place I can't even be angry, i just miss seeing your faces They're telling us we're not human because of our races And that noone in Australia cares of our existence They've told them all about us but like nobody listens They say everybody glistens off the thought of having such a nation All to themselves, that they're scared of overpopulation Mama don't they know that where we from there's like 180 million people? Many of them depressed and feeble? They say it's all our fault for choosing to get on the boats What is choice mama? They acting like we had some votes They acting like we had some homes, like we weren't sleeping in dirt Like we had options, i don't even own a fucking shirt Just this rag from my father hope he's living better than I Oh mama please help me, the guard is giving me the eye He's got his hands on my thigh, says I'll get more time in the shower They don't see us as humans, they're addicted to the power I'm addicted to the hope that i'll soon see some happiness Soon these tears will dry up and i'll forget all this happening And i'mma see your faces again, i hope i do The only thing keeping me going is the memories of you And memories of feeling loved, it's been 1000 days Since i knew that someone loved me and that i wasn't a slave Mama, the guard is walking to me, I think he's gonna hurt me, or flirt me I'm screaming "NOT TODAY, IT'S MY SEVENTH BIRTHDAY!" But they don't listen, he says "now it's only you and i" Why don't they let me suicide? Papa you always said to be good so that we won't end up in prison I've been good my whole life and i'm still imprisoned This life is not fair, papa they do not care They say it's our fault for leaving, they wanted us to rot there But they don't realise we used to count the land mines to pass time They didn't hear the gunshots all the damn time! Please help me. Chorus: Nauru Nauru Nauru, scared to see what they might do, I want a life too Nauru Nauru Nauru, your ethnicity does not define you, I want a life too

Sunken Psyche Verse: Loneliness pervades my mind eternally The thought of how we live this life is burning me Up above my cheeks you'll see the tears are dried up now I should try love now, I rarely lie much now Atleast not to myself, just to the world and all around it I'm taking applicants for Africans, so sign up now Bigotry is killing me it's got me upside down Why they never notice me? Appreciate the potency I wrote this all for you, every lyric, every sound I've been swimming on your waves I'm boutta drown I think that we've forgotten that we need to pick our cotton or the fabrics gonna drive us to the ground Ignore it till its sudden wait a while till we're rotten, hope it's worth your mighty dollar and your pound Money rules the world and that's a fact Try to break the egg until it crack I whimper with the trees as they burn more We kill the reason that we breathe just to earn more I used to fear my death but now I pray for it Life's a game and I ain't here to play for it Reality's a lie, your mind is trained to think that if your salary is high you a miracle Just cause you rap don't mean you lyrical Just cause you pray don't mean you spiritual But don't listen to me, think I'm developing depression My heart is going back into recession My mind is trying to battle it's repression My thoughts are trying to battle the regression But I'm no longer stressing, I've just learnt to go with it, give a fuck about this shit I've learnt my lesson Why does love refuse to let me in? If God is real I'm sorry that I sin But truthfully I'm not because if you see what I got then you can see I only do it all to win Why the fuck they felt the need to colonise? Forgive me for my past as I apologise Don't see me for the stem, I was spoilt by the soil, try to see for the beauty of the Columbine I used to hide my feelings everyday Now I let the tears fall as they may And I've made my decision not believing in religions, but for my grandmas health I pray The thought of wasting life will haunt me daily Only when I don't attempt is when I'm failing The problem is my confidence, I'm better when anonymous, I doubt this ship is ever sailing The process of my turmoil is beautiful to see The misery is so unusual to me The process of my turmoil is beautiful to see The misery is so unusual to me Chorus: Loneliness pervades my mind eternally I always ask my heart what it's been earning me Fuck a worthless dollar, I admit my hearts in squalor Cause if I don't I'll die in perjury Loneliness pervades my mind eternally I always ask my heart what it's been earning me Fuck another dollar, I admit my hearts in squalor Cause if I don't I'll die in perjury, shit! Outro: I bring the loneliness to you, and you do too I bring the loneliness to you, and you do too Unity do to me something else Unity do to me something else

1979 07:59
1979 First Verse: Couple weeks back in Iran I was speaking to my cousin When small talk was all fought we spoke what was and wasn't I asked him why he never studies, said "cause i ain't worth shit" I said where did you learn this? I mean nobody perfect But why you think you can't progress He said "Brother you have been blessed You got the freedom we can't dream of, we're trapped and they won't free us You see us, this ain't no kick back This shit wack it's all a big trap, you think over here you could spit raps?" I said i'm a student, he said "You stupid? So am i!" Not a student of the schools, I'm a student of the mind Tryna find how you have been trained to learn to hate yourself? And belittle all your talent to slowly cremate yourself? I'll admit, I got more than a bit more than you do But that don't change the fact that you think poor, it's crucial To your turmoil, fuck your government, let them burn oil Focus on yourself, be true to you or die in perjury It's self-love, empathy and balance as the tertiary And a whole lot of shit in between Some perspective make you skeptic that you too could live the dream But you can Bobby, you can live the dream brother! When you feel your nation hates you always know that we love ya Always know my thoughts with you, and all you have to live through Focus on loving your self when nothing uplifts you I love you man and I can't stand to see another victim Of the system, brother stay persistent, for the greater good Fuck anyone who never say you could You can escape this state of mind, the revolution made em blind Maybe before that, either way our people can't afford that The revolution pollution or evolution? The former if you ask me, ain't nobody surpass me My confidence is the only reason I'm doing this Question it all, know the power of your influences And this god damn government Bobby please stop suffering Bobby please stop suffering.. Pre-Chorus: In 1979 when freedom of speech was dying Imagine living a place where speaking your soul is crime x2 Chorus: Can you help my cousin? Can you please save my family? Tryna learn the art of heart, please don't examine me Hard to keep the sanity when I know what they go through 19 years of living and I still don't really know you And i still don't really know you I don't know, I don't know Second Verse: I've learn that language ain't essential, it's all about the energy Don't let the media and history decide your enemies I've got a tendency to question everything they're telling me And it's been killing me to know my family ain't feeling me Even Bobby won't know what the first verse is Lack of motivation hurts purpose, yeah they cursed us My mind isn't healthy, my mind isn't wealthy But there's richness in my heart I only pray that it can help me Time is everything, more influence than media Food for thought, stay hungry, no matter what they feeding ya Granny how do you believe it all? Granny ain't you see it all? Miseducation didn't make you flee at all Time is everything, power is influence, revolution successful Their mouths are silent while their hearts orchestral Shame, Knowledge is pain, ignorance will reign, right? Ayatollah is the controller, it's all a game right? Plain sight showing me a lack of vision right within this nation Indecision and impatience But I still love nobody more than my own people Government wrote the story, but you can write the sequel I hate religion, but I love my grandma I hate religion, but I love my grandma I never had faith in anything I couldn't see Siav and Maman are my gods and yeah that's good to me Show more love to each other, less love to this god. Don't mean no disrespect, this self expression kinda hard But if he can't accept me, then he is not a god More like a fraud who applaud your conformity This mindset won't be forming me, I just want to see you be your best I'm nothing without you, and without you we can't progress And If this life is a test, then imma pass for me Not for God, I just wanna be, I just wanna be free With the trees and the bees when they bumble Don't be so egotistical, we just apes in the jungle Be what you want to be, love while you're alive They told me music couldn't be a life, well they fucking lied It's the only reason I survive, the only reason I feel purpose Without music my life is worthless Pre-Chorus: In 1979 when freedom of speech was dying Imagine living a place where speaking your soul is crime x2 Chorus: Can you help my cousin? Can you please save my family? Tryna learn the art of heart, please don't examine me Hard to keep the sanity when I know what they go through 19 years of living and I still don't really know you And i still don't really know you I don't know, I don't know Who are you? Do you know yourself? I hope at least that you know yourself x2 Outro: Don't you try to show me what this revolution do to me I just want more love, I want more you, I want more unity Please don't try to understand me, and I won't do the same Accept me and love me just like I love you for what you became Is our purpose not to be happy? Maybe I been living wrong Maybe I been crazy all this time but you can sing along I need you like you need me, I feed you like you feed me Don't let them divide us, it's a virus, how do you see me? Please help my people help themselves Please help my people help themselves Grandma, how you so religious? Grandma, how your soul the richest? 197,197, 1979 I see heaven, I see heaven, heaven is a lie Without you.
