Drea d'Nur:
I will never let you hit the floor
Or ever make you ask for more
I will never leave you home alone
Or ever let you drift in that zone
I will dry your tears when you cry
I will never let these feelings die
I can’t run from this
Broken promises
Prayin' you forgive
All the things I missed
I can’t run from this
Broken promises
Put them in the flames
Burn them all away
Sayin' never ever again
But the Chinese got a million in the camps
Protect and serve that’s what you swear
But they ain’t feelin' that over here
Liberty & freedom for them all
But millions ain’t hearing that call
We can’t run from this
Broken promises
Prayin' we can fix
All the pain & mess
We can’t run from this
Broken promises
Prayin' we can fix
All the pain & mess
No more lies to give
No broken promises
Now it’s time to live
Now it's time to live
Quadir Lateef:
Promises of a broken promise not to be broken
Wearin' the pain because my ancestors wore a chain
With promises not to be opened
I promised you all of me
All of my soul to have
Half of my soul to hold
All of us stole and sold
None of our stories told
Freedom
Freedom became too expensive when justice gained a price tag
I might ask GOD for loan when I’m alone
To buy a poem from Rumi
Palestine for my ummi
Same spirit but a new me
Beggin' GOD just to use me
Cuz he usually never move me
Never move me
Gotta free myself
Prayed at noon
It was qu’un faya qu’un
Couldn’t be myself
Had to see myself
It was be and it is
It was me as a kid
For the things that he did
Everything that he is
I believe that he is
Everything that he did
I believe that he is
Unbroken
Drea d'Nur:
Come & please hold me my friend
Trying to start over again
Cause no more lies to give
No broken promises
Now it’s time to live
Now it’s time to live
