Mike Posner - The Voice of the Unheard lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Last night they killed a man and then they hid behind their laws

I noticed that my skin was the wrong color for my cause

But I thought I must do something cause this time it's gone too far

They're hate for us was making us hate them

We put bandanas on our faces that we soaked in lemon juice

To help wore off the tear gas that we knew that they would use

And we marched right through the city, but the cops, they formed a line

And through a megaphone I told them why we'd come there

(Chorus)

We're gonna fight with our minds and fight with our facts

We won't fight with guns because the enemy does that

But we'll fight with our hearts and fight with our words

Cuz ours is the voice of the unheard

Ours is the voice of the unheard

(Verse 2)

I put a flower in the bedroom of a M-16

The man who it belonged to just stopped and stared at me

And I thought Martin or Malcolm, Jesus Christ or Tray

They ordered us to go back to our homes now

But the people, they were tired of being told what to do

Some of them threw rocks at cops and others threw their shoes

Then I felt all flashed with horror as I watched the scene play out

Our hate for them was making them hate us

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Only warm is love

Only warm is love

Only warm is love

Ours is the voice of the unheard

When my buddy was my age

He watched his city burn

I'm 27 now and it seems that it's my turn

Cuz you know they still kill our profits

And we still wear our masks

And I can't tell if anything is changing

(Chorus)
