[Radio Announcer]
Explosions in the Israeli town of Yafo
in central Israel near the Ben-Gurion International Airport
This first blast, uh, occurred about 1 and a half hours ago
thats about half past eight in the morning Israeli time
A second blast occurred 10 minutes later in another vehicle
parked a couple hundred meters away from the first blast
[Cilvaringz]
Defeat your enemies with violence, not culture refinements
Right? And show your love diamonds thats blinding
Under the eyelids of men, women and children of all color and religion
I guess building underneath the ceiling of a universal temple is essential
To break through the iron fists of war and swinging damn swords
See, Remedy and I, we swarm as one colony to make you wonder what you die for
But why you murdering our kids?
When all weve got to defend ourselves with our bricks
And stones, cant you hear us moan?
We all out on the streets cause you destroyed our home
Nah, you took our food, shelter, and clothing and left us naked
Only to cover ourselves with black seeds of hatred
But right now, whoevers right or wrong
I wonder if well ever get along as brothers from different mothers
[Remedy]
I heard a boy crying, two kids dying
Young Israelis, they said the Palestinians were lying
Whos to blame? We set fire to your flame
They withheld the names of the Jews held in vain
Jump into a tank in the far West Bank
Theres violence on the Gaza Strip, whos to thank?
Listen! Babies crying
Life lost, Holocaust style, bodies flying
Surprise and surround you, we run rings around you
Silver with the blue and white stars-who we are
We unite, people alike
Strength comes in numbers, all ready to fight
Humanitys song for peace
Theres war going on in the Middle East
Build, destroy, build the beast
Sharon and Arafat, Remedy, counter-attack
Whats The Cure? Yo, RZA, where you at?
[RZA]
Positive education: always correcting errors
You can never gain peace by inflicting terror
And strapping bombs to arms
Running up inside buildings killing little children and moms
Instead of trying to take land, yall should shake hands
And give respect to the great father Abraham
Youve been fighting over Palestine since Saladin
Have you learned what the word non-violent mean?
Or turn the other cheek? You burn your brother cheap
When ten grip came home we gave his brother sheep
RZA used to be recruiting troops and shooting fruit
When you both be seeds from the same root
Even when young Moses was lost in the desert
He was taught wisdom from an Arabian Shepard
My pen is mightier than CNN
Right now I teach you how to C (see), N, N
Close your eyes silently, breathing deep
Inhale this air all the way to your feet
Then exhale slowly through your nostril
Combine the Torah, Quran, with the Gospel
With your mind open and eyes shut
You cant tell the difference of whos who and whats what
Please educate Allahs children everyday
A lesson a day keeps the devil away
[ Muslim And A Jew Lyrics ]
