- 歐陽靖 Same Cry 歌詞
- 歐陽靖
- LT; talking：
We may look different
But we see the same sky
We may see different
But we cry the same cry
Jin; rapping:
To wake up daily and sleep better nights
That's what we all wish for to seek a better life, right?
It's unfortunate when tragedy strikes
But the truth is reality bites
June 4th, '89, a day residents feared
Now known as The Massacre at Tiananmen Square
The day I turned seven, they were mourning and grieving
Thousands of innocent died for what they believed in
Armed with nothing but heart and a point to prove
Stood in front of tanks and refused to move
What would you do? Run or stand still?
When the life's on the line to test the man's will
Seeking change and they found it, but in death
Strangers, yet they were my blood and flesh
This happened in China but you ain't gotta be Asian
to relate to the struggle, pain, and heartache
So ...
LT; singing:
We'll never know
You'll never get it
There is no choice
We can't forget it
When we look up
We see the same sky
When we look up
We cry the very same cry
Jin; rapping:
See, I'm a grown man
It hurts when I turn on the news
And see what's going on in my homeland
The SARS epidemic could've been lies
Could've stand for 'Should Asians Really Survive?'
They 'll try anything to break your family apart
Politics will break down the manliest heart
Can the child within my heart rise above?
If there's a billion of us,
I shouldn't have to look for love
Overpopulation, but damn, just to meet the needs
It's illegal to have more than one seed?
How can you dictate birth, regardless to women
And the parents, they make the hardest decisions
Sons keep their family names, so that's not an option
Imagine being forced to put your daughter for adoption
And even though it's beyond your control
Keep your head up, here's a song for your soul
LT; singing:
We'll never know
You'll never get it
There is no choice
We can't forget it
When we look up
We see the same sky
When we look up
We cry the very same cry
Jin; rapping:
If you don't know where you came from
You can't get the way you trying to go
Ain't no denying so, it's true
I got some big shoes to fill
But if I don't lead the movement, then who will?
Stuck between a rock and a hard place
Thinking about the refugees that went to see God's face
Sixteen thousand miles across the ocean tides
Some died, some got lucky and survived
I wouldn't call it luck, they reached their destination
Modern-day slavery without the plantation
Them sneakers on your feet cost a hundred a pop
My people's making 15 cents a day at sweatshops
To make them kicks so you can look good
Think we open restaurants 'cause we cook good?
Hell no, we ain't got no choice
I gotta speak up, without me my people have no voice
LT; singing:
We' ll never know
You'll never get it
There is no choice
We can't forget it
When we look up
We see the same sky
When we look up
We cry the very same cry
We'll never know
You'll never get it
There is no choice
We can't forget it
When we look up
We see the same sky
When we look up
We cry the very same cry
