[00:00.598]Own Light （What Hearts Are For）-Brother Ali
[00:17.718]You're not using your heart for
[00:20.190]What hearts are for
[00:21.382]They've been trying to shut us down our whole life
[00:25.54]I thank god for healing
[00:26.454]You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light
[00:30.566]Thank god for listening listen
[00:32.356]You've been trying to build me up my whole life
[00:35.908]I thank god for building
[00:37.329]You ain't got to get me lit I got my own light
[00:41.449]I thank god I'm living
[00:42.929]Sometime I feel like a stranger maybe I ain't from here
[00:45.801]World going crazy how could that be unclear
[00:48.571]Know that I'm a soldier heart's on my battleground
[00:51.317]Sword in the holster had to come back around
[00:54.232]I ain't trying to hide away I just had to meditate
[00:56.761]I ain't got a lot to say but the ancestors may
[00:59.622]Speaking to the whole globe numbers don't occur to me
[01:02.79]You can listen solo 'cause you're the whole world to me
[01:05.159]I jump in with both feet nothing low key
[01:07.303]You can find me where I'm s'posed be where my folks be
[01:10.106]If you listen very closely you know who chose me
[01:12.873]Nothing that I own owns me and so I'm so free
[01:15.483]I remember being hungry needing groceries
[01:18.252]Nighttime getting no sleep 'til my nose bleed
[01:21.39]Got a message to the police
[01:22.742]You're not using your heart for what hearts are for
[01:26.735]They've been trying to shut us down our whole life

[01:56.705]So the very breath that I breathe is all I ever need
[01:59.467]I got that Muhammad Ali up in my pedigree
[02:02.155]Yes I be speaking my peace up in my seventies
[02:04.714]Ain't worry bout ya threatening me I'm just being honest
[02:07.641]I ain't buying fear just because it's all you got left
[02:10.386]We just want to make love 'til we wake up
[02:12.876]I believe whoever made us envisioned greatness
[02:15.652]And you know they want to paint us with the same brush
[02:18.392]Wanna interchain us 'til we fill our grave up
[02:20.945]Alright okay but when it's all said and it's all done
[02:24.41]And I look back at the trophies I won
[02:26.481]I will only count one
[02:28.824]I'm using my heart for what hearts are for
[02:32.228]They've been trying to shut us down our whole life

[02:57.698]And in your shoes I stand
[02:59.234]I'm animated by love I don't move by chance
[03:01.938]Any stage I touch or any place I stand
[03:04.638]There y'all land living in the world as it is
[03:07.350]Cracked vessel I am no more and no less than a man
[03:10.729]Any po-sessions that I have are just in my hand
