Glowing Hearts

from Paradox Chapter One by Karim Rushdy

/

lyrics

Verse 1
Why do they distract minds with this lame entertainment?
It’s lookin’ like enslavement arrangements.
Raised to consume and make payments
The whole alphabet must glorify the A-list
While sacred blood still spills on indigenous imprints
The oil wells overflow with visions of business
these wounds are never cauterized when they're followed by dollar signs
dollar signs that colonized these lands already lived in

Chorus

Verse 2
I heard slavery was abolished
But the slave techniques got polished
Cause now everybody's enslaved
Spending empty days with no knowledge
The masters make more massive gains
captive chains were stashed away
And sly words spoken openly to mask the pain
And facts remain. Most trapped today.
So don’t blame yourself
tryna get to a spiritual place
But you're movin’ at a tragic pace
Cause they hide crimes inside the minds eye where it’s hard to find behind that plastic face
Move past the hate and maybe you can see where the magic breaks
Unveiling truth is like removing illusions and hearing the rarest song that mainstream hasn’t played.

Chorus

Verse 3
They say pump that garbage give me that profit
Push that poison in the farm
They said it's harmless
Pump that garbage give that profit
Push that pain till they're brainless and scarred
I say give me that righteous. Give me that light that's
Ray's for days raise the sun till it's nightless
I say let us live equal
The atheist, the domes, and the steeples
All beautiful people
Let everybody stand strong
For the innocent children that’s getting bombed on
ain't no instant remedy from tyranny it's clear to see
The fabric society is torn apart
So this goes out to every neighbourhood working that's sharing glowing hearts
