lirik lagu lowkey - vietnam

[intro: lowkey]
vietnam, vietnam
those that have done the least have the most to say
and those that have done the most have the least
the words of those that are barely ready to speak
mean little to those ready to die

[verse 1: lowkey]
this is dedicated to the ones we can never thank
this is dedicated to the sugar in their petrol tank
shoulders that never shrank, brave hearts that never sank
heart jumps for joy every time you get a tank
pepper straight in the face, you separated the fake
and demonstrated your faith, they’ll never take it away
i won’t condemn you or even pretend to
those that do wouldn’t last one percent of what you went through
they are not fit to kiss the soles of your bare feet
you lived a nightmare so their dreams are care free
for the ones that were sacrificed
and confront m16s, fighter jets and satellites
the same ones that will shoot at the enemy
as they flee from the roof of the embassy
this is my love letter, you are truly the best of us
if you get a chance say a prayer for the rest of us
[hook: lowkey & mai khalil]
i don’t know about you but all my heroes fought colonisers (vietnam, vietnam) (all my heroes)
i don’t know about you but all my heroes fought occupiers (keep it calm, keep it calm) (oh~oh)
i don’t know about you but all my heroes fought colonisers (vietnam, vietnam) (all my heroes)
i don’t know about you but all my heroes fought occupiers (keep it calm, keep it calm) (oh~oh)

[verse 2: lowkey]
they create bombs but don’t have monopoly on violence
we pray long and make songs they wanna see silenced
the violent rule is the philosophy of tyrants
when the storm’s over we’re gonna see horizons
rather as assassination, than as a cancer patient
we chose the life and know the price of emanc~p~tion
in death you are one, behind you is a massive nation
they k!ll our kids through starvation and decapitation
normalisation is the stance of a clown
they were dyin’, you were in dubai prancing around
made ’em wait for a response, we can answer them now
that is not a tunnel, it’s a path to the clouds
they wonder what could cause a people to be like this
punji trap, that’s a vietnamese spike pit
they made it right, and gave your lives for collective freedom
when it’s all said and done, i hope we get to see them

[hook: lowkey & mai khalil]
i don’t know about you but all my heroes fought colonisers (vietnam, vietnam) (all my heroes)
i don’t know about you but all my heroes fought occupiers (keep it calm, keep it calm) (oh~oh)
i don’t know about you but all my heroes fought colonisers (vietnam, vietnam) (all my heroes)
i don’t know about you but all my heroes fought occupiers (keep it calm, keep it calm) (oh~oh)
[verse 3: lowkey]
i’m the bars in the cell holding you
breeze runnin’ through me and the winter makes it cold for you
i’ve seen people lose it, even seen the focused few
i know the feeling when you feel your freedoms overdue
your freedoms overdue
i’m the bars you stare in your cold spot
i see those invisible tears on your face when they don’t drop
i hear your silent cries when your soul sobs
i answer back to you with echoes when a phone’s not
i’m the bars you grip for comfort ‘stead of loved ones
hear the songs you sing for heroes that were unsung
everyone i saw was somebody’s someone
i see closed ties, i’m done in this dungeon
i hear your nightmares and talk in your sleep
hear your despair in your prayers on your knees
got roots in the concrete as strong as the tree
the bars of your cell, i also long to be free
