Angel Haze - Battle Cry lyrics

Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight oh oh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky oh oh

It seems like yesterday that I was nothin'
Then all of a sudden I'm a volcanic eruption
Then all of a sudden
It's like spontaneous combustion
And I'm all up in your face, yelling "Bitch
You can't tell me nothin'"
'Cause I came from the bottom
Now everybody's watchin'
I said it was my time
Now I'm who everybody's clockin'
And I'm just out here sprintin'
I'm runnin' right through my vision
I'm trying to outrun my past
But still trying to defeat my limit's


'Cause you only get one moment in
This life to be great
And you give it your all
Despite what it takes
And you never let 'em kill you
You take everything they give you
And throw it right fucking at 'em and
Tell 'em it doesn't build you
And, no, it don't ever break you and, no
It can't overtake you
Life's like a bed of roses
You take the thorns and you make do
Sometimes you have to hurt for
The cause to be reached
But one day you'll be stronger
Than all that you beat and you can say

Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight oh oh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky oh oh

I woke up one Sunday morning
Stopped believing in Jesus
Stopped believing in churches
I stopped believing in preachers
I realized I was a teacher
Not just one of the heathens
I'm going to destroy the fallacies
Start creating believers
Start creating the leaders
Tell them who should they follow
Nobody but themselves
Especially if they hollow
Especially when they empty
And death reserved for fulfillment
You the only person alive that holds
The key to your healing
So you take it and you run with it
And keep going even when your sun's hidden
Because the time we spend in
Darkness when the rain come
Is where we often find the light
Soon as the pain's done
There ain't no material things in the world
That can change the fact you feel alone
Despite the fact that it gets hard
You take it all and you still go
Take the sun and you still grow
Lose your light and you still glow
I been there, I'm still here, and
I know how you feel, so

Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight oh oh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky oh oh

We don't wanna fight
So sing with me a battle cry
Sing with me a battle cry oh oh
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight oh oh

It's hard to explain my way of living
To people who never lived it
A minute in my position
Filled with my opposition
To anybody not different fighting
To stay the same i got lives in my hands and
I'm fighting to make 'em change
Couldn't accept responsibility
Find somebody to blame
The emotions that I'm harboring 'bout
To drive me insane
Tried to say "Fuck everything
" but I ain't have the heart to
Rarely had the heart to do a
Lot of things I ought to
So now I spit it for people
Who say their cords missing
Inspire life into anybody that's forfeiting
Cause it's easy to keep pretending
That there's nothing wrong
But it's harder to keep your head
Up and be fucking strong
So, now they telling me "Go, Haze
They can't stop you heavyweight flow
If they can't lift you then
They can't drop you
The pinnacle, if they can't reach you
Then they can't top you
Man, they can't do anything
That you're about to"

Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight oh oh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky oh oh

We don't wanna fight
So sing with me a battle cry
Sing with me a battle cry oh oh
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
