[Verse 1]
Respond to pressure
Viewed by most as lesser
Don't come with fake tears
When you chose to play aggressor
Got the strength of ancestors
Compressed in modern form
Ancient text turns to breath when I perform
Fire from these vocal chords
All these so-called leaders frauds
Spitting lies through weaker jaws
Want us back where we belong
Intellect is mourned by the intelligent
Truths once self-evident
Replaced by vile rhetoric
Content to play a heretic
I'm surrounded by my derelicts
Forever speak in Dälek
The future? We defining it
Status quo? Defying it
The violated violent
The vilest men corrupt so we refuse to keep silent
[Chorus]
We the Echoes of Martin, of Malcolm, of Evers
Of Hampton, of Seale
Our people won't kneel
We the Echoes of Martin, of Malcolm, of Evers
Of Hampton, of Seale
Our peoples won't kneel
We the Echoes of Martin, of Malcolm, of Evers
Of Hampton, of Seale
My people won't kneel
We the Echoes of Martin, of Malcolm, of Evers
Of Hampton, of Seale
Trust, we'll never kneel
[Verse 2]
Born Nonconformist
On this Earth to serve notice
Hold this weight on broad shoulders
Can't explain, they all loathe us
It's greed that kills soldiers
Precious walls won't hold us
We them embers set to smolder
Both the eyes and beholder
Behavior less stable, now I'm older not the one to seek
Closure, kept composure through attacks
Compositions set to blast
Barely laugh when I'm questioned
Life times of lessons, write rhymes as weapons
[Chorus]
Echoes of Martin, of Malcolm, of Evers
Of Hampton, of Seale
My people won't kneel
We the Echoes of Martin, of Malcolm, of Evers
Of Hampton, of Seale
My people won't kneel
We the Echoes of Martin, of Malcolm, of Evers
Of Hampton, of Seale
Our people won't kneel
We the Echoes of Martin, of Malcolm, of Evers
Of Hampton, of Seale
Trust, we'll never kneel
