[00:07.89]第一次制作请见谅！
[00:13.73]YEOW!!!!
[00:18.45]SO!
[00:19.14]In the beginning
[00:20.54]there was a hum
[00:21.17]from a poet whose pulse fell
[00:22.05]DRUM DRUM DRUM!
[00:23.06]
[00:24.03]He would perform prayers and all
[00:24.76]till one day he heard a voice call
[00:27.15]COME COME COME!
[00:28.10]
[00:28.94]Sus'pi'cious he moved
[00:29.53]with vicious caution
[00:30.40]Dismisses,
[00:31.87]he thinks is a little often
[00:33.22]People get held back
[00:34.87]by the void inside 'em.
[00:36.39]
[00:36.58]YO!
[00:37.45]
[00:38.15]The void said,
[00:38.99]I'm poised to speak inside you...
[00:40.46]"Rejoice then ...please let me invite you
[00:42.03]...To evil, greed and lies too."
[00:44.13]
[00:46.03]YEAH!
[00:46.50]
[00:47.00]Confused and dazed
[00:48.14]he moved in ways
[00:49.04]he soon became "Hakuna"
[00:49.95]BOOM BOOM BOOM
[00:51.02]
[00:51.65]A knock on his door, his heart is no more
[00:53.57]A knock on his door, his soul is no more
[00:56.67]
[00:58.62]Yeah...
[01:02.63]That was in the beginnin'
[01:07.63]As the story goes on...
[01:09.63]
[01:12.63]So -
[01:13.63]
[01:13.83]The poet’s got a proposal
[01:14.63]he would always hope but never know
[01:16.63]what it feels
[01:17.63]to be free
[01:18.63]He would be the frozen
[01:19.63]imposed as the chosen,
[01:20.63]all laws oppose him
[01:21.63]But it would be greed
[01:22.33]
[01:22.63]That’s got him there
[01:24.03]he's power-hungry,
[01:25.63]and proud too
[01:26.63]
[01:27.63]People don’t care, he will just care
[01:29.53]Evil don't care, he will just prayer...
[01:32.63]
[01:35.63]Yeah
[01:37.63]That was In the beginning..
[01:40.63]there was a hum
[01:44.63]...then things changed
[01:46.63]
[01:48.63]Yeah
[01:49.63]They say-
[01:50.03]it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark
[01:51.63]in the eyes of the youth
[01:53.63]there are question marks
[01:53.93]like freedom
[01:54.93]freedom for the mind and soul,
[01:56.63]we don't see them
[01:57.63]see them for their worth at all,
[01:58.63]that’s why we lead em
[01:59.63]lead em to these wars
[02:00.63]and what is it we feed em
[02:01.63]feed em our impurities
[02:02.63]and who it is we treat em
[02:03.63]treat em like the enemy
[02:04.63]humanity will need em
[02:05.73]need em like the blood we spill
[02:07.13]and we're freedom
[02:08.13]freedom for the hearts we fill
[02:09.93]we mislead em
[02:10.93]they hunger for the love we give
[02:11.93]but we cheat em
[02:12.93]the guys beat him and all he wants
[02:13.93]is his freedom,
[02:15.03]so they defeat him,
[02:16.03]whatever spirit he’s got
[02:17.03]"beat him"
[02:17.93]and they teach him
[02:18.93]the rest of the world don’t need him
[02:19.93]and he believes
[02:20.53]in the disease that he’s heathen
[02:22.13]Put up your fists if all you want is freedom
[02:24.73]Put up your fists if all you want is -
[02:26.13]
[02:32.13]That was in the beginning...
[02:36.73]then things changed..
