Born under siege a place where you can't leave

Smoke's in the air, it makes it hard to breath

I need my family, protect them from the disease

I went to chase my dreams, hoping that they rescue me

Made it out the maze, God's been blessing me

First time in LA, got Gaza next to me

It's in my heart it's in my veins, I've be smiling at the pain The bombs lit up the night skies, and turned them into day

It's hard to come up with the right rhymes, I don't know what to say I start to cry when I write mine, it happens everyday

A lot of death in lifetime, all I do is pray

This is my story from the sidelines, this life is not a game

I want to call my mama, I hope she charged the phone Hope my brothers not alone, hope that one day they'll be grown

This is genocide, but this time it is televised

Don't believe all that you see, cause they be telling lies

I count my blessings not the problems

I'm from the bottom where the robbers acting vile and killing toddlers

Bombing us with helicopters

They see me on the TV and they calling me a monster That only makes stronger

It's me against the world

So I do it for the world

It's me against the world

So I do it for the world

I was in the studio chopping up samples

Electricity's off, we sleep with the candles

Sleep with our sandals

And leave the doors open cause when bombs drop there's no time to grab the handle

Write our names on our hands

Just to identify when somebody's face is off it makes them hard to recognize

Been through so many wars I forgot to mention I can calculate the distance from the airplane engines

You think you from the trenches?Nah these the trenches

Kids close their eyes and cover their ears, they block their senses

This war is senseless, they us treat like animals

I'll never understand why they built the fences

I just want my dream of peace to come true

Refugee in my land nowhere to run to

I keep the hope when there was no sunshine

They cut the water off, so God let it rain some time

It's me against the world

So I do it for the world

It's me against the world

So I do it for the world
