Obongjayar - Message In A Hammer Lyrics

(Uh, uh)
(Uh-uh-uh)

Born in trouble water
Every stroke is war
They drowned the ones before us
But we'll make it to shore
Message in this hammer
Is coming down on you
Message in a gun
Aiming at your head
Message in this hammer
Is coming down on you
Message in this gun
Aiming at your head

You can beat me, shoot me, kill me
Throw me in jail
You can strip me, use me, abuse me
'Til nothing remain
We won't take it kindly
Take it smiling
We won't take it kindly
Take it smiling
You can beat me, shoot me, kill me
Throw me in jail
You can strip me, use me, abuse me
'Til nothing remain
We won't take it kindly
Take it smiling
We won't take it kindly
Take it smiling

(Uh)
I have seen the future
In the future we won
We have been reborn
To build we must destroy
I don't want peace, oh
We don't talk 'til we tire
I won't say please, oh
We fight fire with fire
We are the people
We won't sit and be quiet

Oh

Burning down the order
Tearing down the walls for a
New day, new breath
I can feel the tide turn
Let the fire pour
Can't you see its time for a new day
New dawn, new dawn

You can beat me, shoot me, kill me
Throw me in jail
You can strip me, use me, abuse me
'Til nothing remain
