orphans - ben humble lyrics
verse1
i was a poor communist kid, yeah standing in breadlines with propaganda in my head
my daddy tried to keep the faith like billy graham. had to become a refugee and just to feed the fam
television used to teach us that america was a broken state but what about our starving kids, our corruption lets debate and yall can’t even relate yo, what it’s like to feed your family with the enemy’s at the gate
what about broken promises to unite our people and our state
what about the fact that while we starved, politicians played with fatе
why did you sell our land to fight a war we couldn’t win, why did you lump us all togethеr, toss grenades and pull the pin?
what about the commie spies taught to rat and then to hide, taught to rat on their own mother if it helped the cause she have to die
she’d have to rot on the inside, in prison walls the commies spied, she couldn’t dream of better life
they k!lled the hope and criticized
chorus
i’ll raise a song for the silent ones. i’ll raise a song for the little ones
i’ll raise this song for the hungry ones, the ones who family didn’t make it out, make it out
i’ll raise a song for the silent ones. i’ll raise a song for the little ones
i’ll raise this song for the hungry ones, the ones who family didn’t make it out, make it out
verse2
i’ll raise a song for the quiet ones, i’ll raise a song for little kids who’s daddy never made it out
i’ll raise a song for hungry babies that were given up, cause the daddy’s couldn’t feed them so they dropped them off
i’ll raise a song for my generation, these were my brother’s and my sisters, my whole nation, never made it
some of those daddy’s they got caught, went to jail and were degraded, some of those kids were just abandoned
daddy’s drank, stories barricaded
chorus
i’ll raise a song for the silent ones. i’ll raise a song for the little ones
i’ll raise this song for the hungry ones, the ones who family didn’t make it out, make it out
i’ll raise a song for the silent ones. i’ll raise a song for the little ones
i’ll raise this song for the hungry ones, the ones who family didn’t make it out, make it out
bridge
living in adversity it brought out, the best and worst in me. it taught me when to fight, and when to flee
it taught me how to dream and see that nothing come for free, so it was truth for me, it taught me how to struggle through it vertically
no man can claim my destiny, can’t take what you didn’t build from me, can’t fake and have integrity, hey dad i’ll build your legacy so you can see. i’ll create a mighty kingdom humble nation rise with me
