Wyclef Jean Million Voices Lyrics

Deeds are fruits words are but leaves
Its better to do well than to say well indeed
So if you come from the rock
Please don't run from the rock
Keep your conscious clean and put the weight on your back
A foolish builder leaves out the corner stone
But every dog feels like a lion in his home
My destiny, it's in my own hands
Cuz the cold is the father of the man so...

I'm the keeper of the flame
(and everybody know his name)
I'm the keeper of the name
(but nobody know his game)
I'm the keeper of the flame
(and everbody know his name)
I'm the keeper of the flame

Ragga it's been a minute man, let's go
I went from cavemen to slave men
Church screamed amen and then they lynched men
Board a charter 911 before the world trade
I saw the world through Ray Charles'shades
I tried to warn em they don't wanna listen
Nostradamus saw the birds now there's two things missin
Two sons sittin Hussein's sons sittin so calm
They father Saddam hung in a prison
I'll be damned if a man put a tec in my hand
Have me in the sand shootin at the brown man
Runner becomes the gunner
The gunner becomes the hunter
The hunter becomes the hunted on Amerikkka's most wanted
How does Amerikkka's most wanted get apprehended
When his man turn state in his co-defendant
You need a lawyer let me talk for you
You in a wheelchair blood let me walk for you
I'm a leader

I'm the keeper of the flame
(and everybody know his name)
I'm the keeper of the name
(but nobody know his game)
I'm the keeper of the flame
(and everbody know his name)
I'm the keeper of the flame

Yeah yeah yeah
What if Martin Luther stayed in the room
Never stepped foot in the balcony
What if they had a bullet proof car
Instead of a drop top for Kennedy
Malcolm did the speech
What if I sat amongst the congregation
So when then boys come get your hands on the...fire shots at the assassins Ragga
Ain't nothin new under the sun
What if I had put blanks in Marvin Gaye's fathers gun
What if yall knew the truth before sending your kids to war
I told you that man didn't care about Iraq
He cared about the oil
When you thinkin about how many records you gonna sell
I think about gettin all of my people or the cell
We put in work yall ain't revolutionary
Cuz you got a Che Guevara t-shirt
Is just a t-shirt
Ragga why you think I ran for president
I got five cribs and they said I got no residence
They tried to punk me
But I was born with no fear
So imma run it like ten years

I'm the keeper of the flame
(and everybody know his name)
I'm the keeper of the name
(but nobody know his game)
I'm the keeper of the flame
(and everbody know his name)
I'm the keeper of the flame.
