Akala - Urge to Kill Lyrics

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
It's just business
Arm sales economy, added to the GDP
Maybe it's 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 it's 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?
