Hilltop Hoods - Speaking In Tongues Lyrics






[Pressure:]
Another war another martyr revered
Passed the fear from their fathers then it's lasting for years
Bullets don't discriminate the skin colour they pierce
We speak the same language brother; love, laughter and tears
Refugees trading death for a prison
While someone bakes a set of opinions on race, sex or religion
C'mon, enough day to day stress of just living
Without giving a fuck if they're hated just cause they different
Let's do it under the name of the love that became lost
Dress it up how you want, we're cut from the same cloth
Scars of hate, frowns stitched to our faces
Can't escape the cage we forge, we've got bars to break
For those living every bit of the struggle
Given to hustle trying to figure how they fit in the puzzle
And right now we're in pieces and peace is the people as one
Till then we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come

[Chorus:]
I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

[Chali 2na:]
Media is teaching the young, debate about belief in the one
Can make an eight-year soldier fall asleep with a gun
While tax man's hands deep in your funds, reaping your ones
Money tight like we tweaking the drums it's like we speaking in tongues
But no book burnings or church sermons
I surf currents, my words burn like a dirt furnace
Confusion leads and anguish sells
But this music succeeds where even language fails
To convey free honest expression
It's a problem trying to get people to acknowledge progression
My goal is to leave a lasting iconic impression
Controlling crowds like demonic possession and ain't no time to invest in
Biting the hand that created the platform
Attaching pseudo patriotic crap to a rap song
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one
And yet we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come

[Chorus:]
I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

[Suffa:]
I would never hate someone for the way that they layin' with someone else
(And if you do) The blame comes from the weight of the way that you see yourself
Take some of the weight off your plate by taking the hate away
And then maybe you'll make your way to start loving yourself
Fear's a cancer, logic is a countermeasure
A property that you can't count or measure
I got a problem with people who got a problem with
The way that other people wanna live (that's their prerogative)
They're mad at how you love, where your prayers are going
Their anger's like a drug, they're mad at where you from
But fuck a redneck checking if your visa's valid
They act like pigs and chickens I'm sick of Caesar salad
So we seize the mallet, and we swing on the ignorant
Can't speak our language? Then we'll see if you can sing in it
Hoods and 2na try to unify the people as one
And yet we're treated like we're speaking in tongues so here we come

[Chorus:]
I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

[Bridge:]
They pick me up just to pull me down
March to different drums, come from all around
It's like we're speaking in tongues
It's like we're speaking in tongues
They pick me up just to pull me down
March to different drums, come from all around
It's like we're speaking in tongues
It's like we're speaking in tongues
It's like we're speaking in tongues

[Chorus:]
I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum
I am, you are, we are one
We're two sides of the same coin, we drink from the sun
We be the left hand, right hand, right man?
But sometimes it seems like we're speaking in tongues so let me speak on the drum

    Media is teaching the young, debate about belief in the one,
    Can make an eight-year soldier fall asleep with a gun,
    While tax mans hands deep in your funds, raping your ones,
    Money tight like we tweaking the drums it’s like we speaking in tongues,

  62. K.... ....

    First came across Chali on Reanimation

    K.... ....

    Fuck yeah Bro!!! Some hearts be blacker than Charcoal.

    K.... ....

    same here but that really brings me back

  63. S.... F....

    Pressure is amazing . His voice is so smooth , so relaxing , just fckn great man .

  64. E.... G....

    Chali 2na looks like Neil deGrasse Tyson. GG

  68. t.... d....

    71 racists saw this clip :v

    t.... d....

    Why is everything about racism nowadays?? I love these guys but music is subjective just because they dont agree with the music doesnt make them racist. Its dopey comments like these that make everybody so fearful to speak their peace. This song is ironically talking against what youre stating.

    t.... d....

    Even if they were nothing wrong with the “R” word

  69. W.... M....

    THIS MUSIC SUCCEEDS WHERE EVEN LANGUAGE FAILS

    W.... M....

    *Fails to convey free honest expression

    W.... M....

    Almost like we are speaking in tongues some would say

  70. H.... ....

    Graffiti by Sofles?

  71. T.... ....

    Over and over again, hell yeah, the first half , wow, MC Pressure und Chali 2na, that beat, wow, such dope

  72. A.... B....

    Pretty sweet.  
    Chali 2na your friendly neighbourhood baritone...

  73. D.... H....

    Chali's voice is awesome

    D.... H....

    Listen to J5. That whole group was dope AF and 2na wasn't event the most talented in it. Just my opinion though.

    D.... H....

    @J-Bone Bathroompoet Yeah i love J5 classic hip hop group right there

  74. D.... D....

    Love from Germany you guys are awesome

  75. N.... J....

    Hilltop hoods put out such great messages!!! We need some of your music in America guys!!! 👍🏼

    N.... J....

    Check out Monster's Ball

    N.... J....

    See Shedding the balloon

    N.... J....

    Nawaid Jaffri easy solution. Share it with friends

    N.... J....

    @Luke Davis u mean shredding

  76. T.... ....

    That Beat is tha Bomb! Really great worked there, I even give a thumbs up this time although I don't really care about the thumbs system. You and your awesome creation of art deserve this!

    Keep it up, Hilltop! You are really pumpin new and such powerful blood into the cold veines of the real Hip Hop, not only keepin it alive but reviving it with such new freshness, when I already had thought that he was dead. I am impressed, proud of you and foremost I am so thankful that you share this culture, which I'm an old fan of, and make it prosper again!
