Urge to Kill - Akala

Do you ever just have the urge to kill?

Do you ever just have the urge to kill?

Do you ever just have the urge to kill?

Do you ever just have the urge to kill?

Riddle me this, riddle me that

If murder runs the globe and this we know and accept

What do we expect but mass murders to live happily

Those who really fight for freedom to face tragedy

When you really look at the world, do you feel a sickness?

Couple dead kids in the world, its just business

Arm sales economy, added to the GDP

Maybe its just me, maybe I’m naive

Though I’m not Siamese, I do feel your pain

And I do believe, though maybe I’m insane

The state murder is still murder, it’s still murder

There’s no fight that’s big enough to conceal murder

Lets make a movie and celebrate our real murder

Pay a rapper to glorify, nigga, kill, murder

But never question your oppressors or suggest murder

Should be directed in your betters that invest murder

I wonder is it absurd that we protest murder

Cause clearly they haven’t heard that we detest murder

However much we detest, we cannot deny

That murder has both helped and harmed you and I

And anybody, everybody has a human right

To defend themselves from oppressors with a greater might

I look around this world, such a bloody sight

I wanna know

Do you ever just have the urge to kill?

When you realise that peace can’t work cause they don’t respect peace

Oh the feeling is so real!

When you see that murder’s legal when it’s done by police, the beast

Do you ever have the urge to kill?

When you see a child’s body like a dog in the streets, believe

Oh the feeling is so real!

When there is no justice and we can’t breath

Do you ever have the urge to kill?

Terrorism is its own religion practices by millions

Obviously not just Muslim but also Jewish and Christian

Atheist, Hindu, Buddhist

Since when has belief

Ever stopped human beings

From being bullies?

They pretend one terror is worse terror

Even while they sponsor their terror it works better

Even while they bomb their countries and burn them up

Even while they colonise them with no letter

And we, what do we do?

Pay tax to them

Maybe I’m a coward

No war was ever won by dickheads with a mic shoutin'

Rappers can’t bring you liberation

Just articulating do you share these frustrations that I am facing?

Are you one of these arseholes like me

That believes there’s a better world that we could be?

But knows that it won’t come so easily

And revolutionary love there needs to be

Everyone has the right to defend the one they love

And no uniform gives you the right to shed my blood

If the courts systematically denies what we’re legally due

What should we do?

(tell me)

Should we pray to heaven and wait for better and hope that it comes true?

Or, defend ourselves from you

'Cause it’s only when you aim your violence at your oppressors that it’s taboo

I wanna know

Do you ever just have the urge to kill?

When you realise that peace can’t work cause they don’t respect peace

Oh the feeling is so real!

When you see that murder’s legal when it’s done by police, the beast

Do you ever have the urge to kill?

When you see a child’s body like a dog in the streets, believe

Oh the feeling is so real!

When there is no justice and we can’t breath

Do you ever have the urge to kill?

Nations and nuclear bombs and colonisers

Applaud us for our silence reward us for non-violence

While supporting old tyrants

Calling them all clients

They bought them with a fortune a slice of the empire

Of course they haven’t taught them torture is a science

To which you should resort to kill frauds and defiers

Feel the force of the fires

Petrol poured on the tires

Bet it more than retires

Whoever’s caught in the wires

Several daughters in silence

Whichever mothers are crying

Justice is just like anything

If you can’t afford to buy it then you starve

This is our world that I’m describing

It’s too much!

Do you ever just have the urge to kill?

When you realise that peace can’t work cause they don’t respect peace

Oh the feeling is so real!

When you see that murder’s legal when it’s done by police, the beast

Do you ever have the urge to kill?

When you see a child’s body like a dog in the streets, believe

Oh the feeling is so real!

When there is no justice and we can’t breath

Do you ever have the urge to kill?
