Spectator - Logic

I’m just a spectator looking in

But I can tell you how I think things should’ve been

And all the reasons why the world’s where it is today

Please listen to my words, what I have to say

You see, in Gaza they’re fighting for land

You see, they need this land cause it’s a part of their plan, understand

The Jews needed a place after Hitler

So they got about three quarters of Palestinian land

Palestinians then had to make refuges

In places like Lebanon

In places where none of them had ever gone

Thousands were massacred for not leaving

See, I’d do the same, kill me, I’ll die believing

I understand the mind of a man who commits suicide

But don’t agree with any innocent that has to die

And what’s gonna happen after this?

Will they stop with the Gaza strip?

I don’t think so

I sat with a Jew to learn

He told me that’s it’s not meant to go to Israel until the prophet returns

I said is this true

He told me go and read the Torah

Cause if it’s true, then they’re following another order

How can a nation that knows what it’s like to be slaughtered go and do the same

to someone else?

I’m just a spectator looking in

But I can tell you how I think things should’ve been

A couple reasons why the world’s where it is today

Please listen to my words, what I have to say

I don’t know everything and never will I claim to know

What our purpose is and what we really need to grow

But I do know we’re dying for a common cause

A global word that is well known, war

I’ve been to Africa and seen a grown man on the floor

Disabled to the point I couldn’t look anymore

A real beggar, in a real state of poverty

But he prays everyday, so he knows that there’s gotta be another life

Where he can live as a strong man

And the ownership of Africa doesn’t end up in the wrong hands, Western palms

Buying and destroying people just to trade arms

Could someone tell me why Africa is just surviving?

The whole land was a resource plus they got diamonds

Used to be able to run your hand through the sand

And get a handful of diamonds, do you understand?

How precious is the land if it’s like that?

You see, it’s wrong to say it was taken by the white man

It was taken by the power hungry

And the people that never saw the beauty of Africa, fam

They only saw the money, to them it was the land of opportunity

It’s terrorism when it’s done by either you or me

Treat these words like my eulogy

And remember that I died being exactly what I choose to be

Insha’Allah we all can see

That God is the goodness in you and me

No religion has ownership

See, the Quran and the Bible and the Torah were all wrote with ink

See, I think the masses are miseducated

See, most of the politicians were born racist

See, it’s obvious that somehow we’re all related

Millions of years back, before we separated

I heard Tony Benn say it in a speech

See, how can you murder another brother because he’s weak?

Your ancestors could have been cousins, so take a seat

And try and reason with your brother fam before you beef

I’m just a spectator looking in from my view

I’m not different or special, I’m just like you

Bleed blood and shed tears when my heart’s hurting

I get energy from everything in life, I’m learning

How to say my thoughts, release my stress through my words

Make you visualise everything you’ve ever heard

Picture ancient Egyptians meditating

To the elements, telepathically debating

Until the pirates came in the form of tradesmen

Promised them a Paradise in exchange for a Heaven

Temptation and misinterpretation, so they jeopardise the whole of the nation

You see, a Paradise is where we might choose to go

But a Heaven is the place where the angels go

So they can reason with the prophets, not bathe in gold

And it’s not late for no one to save your soul

I’m a citizen of truth, love and loyalty

Every person on the planet is royalty

These are my thoughts, how I look at things

Fam, I’m just a spectator looking in
