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

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

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.
