Hello. NERO here.Generations upon a time where history scarred itself a fucked up face
Peace travel down a rugged path and became lost in its own existence
We have become the cavities stretched into society's fangs
Consecrated in the decay of our bloodstained past
So now our slained traditions in my veins
And though the pain is been instrumental
We continue to walk to different beats
Because there is no fuckin' peace
See I discovered the word "Hmong" pasted on the back of a milk carton with no reward
Chugged down by cultural braggadocios oblivious to the fact there was nothing more
Than assimulated holes
Victims of white America's oppression
And though their aggression
Once sung glorified songs of death and revolution
The weight of a guns supporting tickling my spine*
So I choose to kill with my tongue
Mister, mister, what's your name?
Come and tell me all your pain
Come and tell me what you need
Come and be with me
Heaven is closer than you know
Open up your eyes
Freedom is just a breath away*
Heaven is closer than you know
Open up your eyes
Freedom is just a breath away*
I've seen the videos and witnessed what I did not know
My people suffer the pain that kept them years ago
I've seen the pictures of my Hmong crying out for help
My elders on their knees praying, "God, help us please."
No more no more
Will you suffer no more
For each soul that dies
One is born
Txhob qua txhob qua
So koj lub kua muag
Ua pa ib zaug ntxiv
Ua neeg nyob tsis yooj yim
No more no more
Will you suffer no more
For each soul that dies
One is born
Walking over the ocean looking for reflections
But the tears fall down and ripples distort the images
I cannot see myself anymore
And I know that you know
There are just too many tears to count
These clouds are their faces
Their tears reveal something
That I need to know
This is the battle I'll fight
Fighting this war on the inside
The stakes are more than my own life
It's yours
