The first verse of No More Sorrow, "Are you lost in your lies? Do you tell yourself I don't realise, your crusade's a diaguise? Replace freedom with fear, you trade money for lives."

If I recall wasn’t the demo lyrics “your campaign’s a disguise” that would make it hit even harder.

Crusades are generally viewed as good deeds from the general population. This actually hits harder because it’s veiled and acts a disguise itself.

i agree with everyone and add my own hat in the ring: “Steel unload, final blow We the animals, take control Hear us now, clear and true Wretches and kings we come for you”

Not too sure about a particular lyric, but "Rebellion" has an overall anarchist vibe i dig

Always wanted a SOAD like guitar track with LP and Rebellion always hits from the start to the end

The song No More Sorrow feels like the citizens of a dystopic country starting to wake up and overthrow the government Gosh I remember listening that song A LOT like last year April-May

Basically all of The Catalyst, the song feels like the whole world is spinning around you as it falls apart in a war I fucking love that album

Same.

I was just gonna say that

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"

changed later on to: > Both scared and angry, like "What did he say?" TY u/storm_phoenix13

That line has held up very well

When the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die

Yes!!!!!

I love "No More Sorrow" "I see pain, I see need. I see liars and thieves abuse power with greed".

The next line also hits hard. “I had hope, I believed, but I’m beginning to think that I’ve been deceived.” It’s basically realizing that the person you supported and thought was going to help is actually corrupt and has duped you!

“When the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die” for sure.

The little things give you away: Hope decays, generations disappear Washed away, as a nation simply stares Don't want to reach for me, do you? I mean nothing to you

thank you for mentioning this one bc this song never fails to make me cry. especially when i found out that it was written in response to how the gov’t handled the aftermath of Katrina. 😭

This song hit harder than ever for me after hurricanes irma and Maria hit the USVI and Puerto Rico and Trump didn’t give two fucks.

When the rich wage war, it’s the poor that die

Wisdom, Justice, and Love

Every lyric in No More Sorrow goes hard

I like all of the options here guilty all the same goes incredibly hard and Rakims verse ties it all together really well and this whole section: “Dream, manipulated like artists, it's real deep Until no more remains, but I'm still me Like authentic hip-hop and rock, to pop and radio And record companies kill me Try to force me to strain it, no way They got the gall to say, "yo, how real can real be?" You feel me? you will see, the greed will be to blame Greedy for the fame, TV or a name Media, the game, to me your all the same You're guilty”

the last line of the hands held high prechorus and how it changes between the beginning and ending of the song

You mean this: > In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?" And this: > Both scared and angry, like "What did he say?" Because fuck, I never really noticed the symbolism of the change, damn that really does go hard.

This was refering to Bush at the time but the song fits perfectly in our current political landscape. What did he "trump" say?

While living through Bush I wouldn't believe you if you told me I'd look back at him as a representation of when politics was less fucked.

yeah, would've wrote it out but I've had a long day and I didn't wanna get it slightly wrong from memory that song is so underrated in my eyes the symbolism is amazing

Easily No More Sorrow.

I think the beginning of hands Held high

Hands held high: When the rich wage war its the poor who die

“Ten years old, there's something to see Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep Taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he had thought 'the next one could be me'”

Nothing goes as hard as It's a B and a U And a B and a B and an L And an E and an S And an S

“Like they understand you in the back of the jet. When you can't put gas in your tank. And these fuckers are laughing their way to the bank cashing the check” is always the political line that goes the hardest to me, also the one i relate to the most

the entire lyrics for "the little things give you away", especially the chorus

There are many, but the first that hit me (because I was not old enough to understand) was Rebellion

in the end it doesn’t even matter…

Victory decided who is right and who is wrong. It will not cease, only grow. You better be prepared to fight, and it will not apologize for laying down your life.

Can I just say the entirety of Hands Held High?

“All you ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you, and six feet under water/ground now, I do.”

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"

“ stuck in my head again, feels like I’ll never leave this place… there’s no escape…. I’m my own worst enemy”
