Lyrics:
EVERYONE KEPT DANCING
WHILE IT WAS ALL COLLAPSING
THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING
BUT THEY JUST FOUND IT DAZZLING
DROWNING OUT THE ANSWERS
THAT NO ONE FELT LIKE ASKING
THE SUN WENT DOWN بسم الل
YOU SEE THE TYRANTS BUCKLE WHEN THEIR LIES START TO CRUMBLE
THE HIGH TURN HUMBLE WHEN THEIR EMPIRE TUMBLE
THE BONE-CHILLING CONDITION WAR CRIMINAL VILLAIN
THEIR PRONOUNS ARE PRONOUNCED AS CHOSEN AND VICTIM
THE BOMBS IN THE BILLIONS TO RAIN ON THE CHILDREN
THE HOLY LAND BUILT ON MASS GRAVES YOU’RE FILLING
THE POETS AND THE SINGERS GOT STORIES IN THEIR SPIRIT
OWNERS IN THE BUSINESS OPPOSE IT WHEN THEY FEAR IT
BUT THE TREES DON’T FORGET IT THE BREEZE BLOW THE MESSAGE
THE RIVERS AND SEAS HOLD THE IMAGE
THE TEARS ON OUR CHEEKS AND THE BEARDS HOLD THE SWEETEST LITTLE REEM
YA PHILISTINE REPEATED IN OUR DREAMS
WHEN THE TIME TURN TIMELESS THE MEEK FINALLY SPEAK
OPPRESSORS BEG THE FIRE TO CEASE
THE HEARTS GO BLIND SO THE EYES GO TO SLEEP
AND WHO’S PEEPING THE RUINS THAT YOU’RE SEEING THAT’S YOU IN THAT MUSEUM
CAN YOU FEEL IT
THEY BATTLED AND OPPRESSED EACH OTHER WHERE THEY REST
THE WEAK ONES LEFT FOR BETTER DWELLINGS AND THEY WELCOMED THEM AS GUESTS
BUT LOVE WASN’T PRESENT IN THEIR BREAST
THEY ONLY KNEW THE POWER TO DEVOUR AND POSSESS
THEY RAIDED AND INVADED THEIR SPACES AND THEIR FLESH
CALLED THEM TERRORISTS WHEN THEY RESIST
THEIR OWN VIOLENCE THEY CALLED DEFENSE
FEAR WAS AT THE CENTER OF THEIR LENS
SO THE MORE PEOPLE THEY KILL THE MORE HORRIFIED THEY’D GET
THE BRAVE BROKE RANKS IN THE NAME OF THE SACRED
THEY QUICKLY ERASED AND ACCUSED EM OF SELF-HATRED
THE CIRCUS GOT CRACKIN A MILLION-DOLLAR ATTRACTION
FLICKERING AND FLASHING TO DELIVER THE DISTRACTIONS
OPIUM WAS THE RELIGION OF THE MASSES
SO THEY WERE TOO TRASHED TO SEE THE PILLARS THAT WERE CRACKING
GOD COUNTS ACTIONS WHEN THE MATH AIN’T MATHING
THEY LIT THEIR OWN MATCH AND STARTED DANCING IN THE ASHES

Came here after hearing Macklemore's "Hind's Hall." Respect to both of yall for the courage to speak truth to power in an industry that's radio silent.
me too love to see it, the animations are very moving and timeless, massive respect to brother ali and herm, as well as the production team!!!
Beautiful and horrifying "GOD COUNTS ACTIONS WHEN THE MATH AIN’T MATHING"
That’s it
Can't remember the last time sth brought me chills like this I swear..
Peace, Br. Ali!
💚🌹🙏
No disrespect to other MCs but Brother Ali paints a picture with his words better than anyone. Straight emotion.
Much love and many thanks
True 👌 he has that special gift..
Ali and R.A are the best in this storytelling
Not only his lyrics (which are obviously good) but his emoting in his flow. It's always been a real inspiration to me.
According to Sharia law:
1. Muslims are to subjugate the world under Islam (Quran 9:29).
2. Criticizing Muhammad or denying that he is a prophet is punishable by death.
3. Criticizing or denying Allah is punishable by death.
4. Criminals of genocide, mass-rape, looting etc (Hiraba) will not be punished if they repent.
5. Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
6. Theft is punishable by amputation of the hands (Quran 5:38)
7. No retaliation for parents and grandparents for killing their offspring.
8. Amputation punishments for successive thefts: 1st left hand, 2nd right hand, 3rd left foot, 4th right foot, 5th head.
9. You can enslave for sex or work (Quran 4:3 4:24 5:89 33:50 58:3 70:30)
10. One can have sexual intercourse with a captive woman after she is clear of her period and/or delivery. If she has a husband, then her marriage is abrogated when she becomes a captive.
11. You will kill non-Muslims to receive 72 virgins in Heaven (Quran 9:111)
12. Muslim men have sexual rights to any woman/girl not wearing the Hijab. Taharrush Gamea is the coordinated seхual assault of a girl or a woman in public by a mass of Muslim men. Taharrush Gamea is not a "game" as some Muslims claim. In Arabic, Taharrush means "harassment," Jinsi means "seхual," and Gamea (pronounced and spelled, Jamai by non-Egyptian Muslims) means "mass" or "group."
13. You can beat sex slaves (Quran 4:34)
14. Kill Jews and Christians if they do not convert or pay a Jizya tax (Quran 9:29)
15. You will terrorize non-Muslims (Quran 8:12 8:60)
16. A Muslim shall not be put to death for murdering an unbeliever.
17. Fight everyone in the way of Allah and kill those who disbelieve Mohammad (Ibn Ishaq 992)
18. A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
19. A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
20. A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
21. A woman or girl who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
22. Testimonies of 4 male witnesses are required to prove rape of a female (Quran 24:13).
23. A woman or girl who alleges rape without producing 4 male witnesses is guilty of adultery.
24. A woman or girl found guilty of adultery is punishable by death.
25. A male convicted of rape can have his conviction dismissed by marrying his victim.
26. A woman can have 1 husband, a man can have up to 4 wives, but Muhammad can have 9.
27. A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
28. Girls' clitoris should be cut (Muhammad's words, Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
29. A man can beat his wife for insubordination (see Quran 4:34).
30. A man can unilaterally divorce his wife; a wife needs her husband's consent to divorce.
31. A divorced wife loses custody of all children over 6 years of age or when they exceed it.
32. A woman's testimony in court, allowed in property cases, carries ½ the weight of a man's.
33. A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
34. A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
35. Meat to eat must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah - i.e., be "Halal."
36. Husbands are obliged to provide only food, clothes and accommodation to wives. Anything else including doctor’s fees, medicines etc is a charity to her. A rebellious wife does not get anything.

What does Dj Khaled feel about this ?
Got here through a comment left in a Macklemore post, amazing song.
No that’s what a talented videographer can do! Respect Herm. You paint the picture of the journey that the artist brotha Ali spits!
Thanks Katy!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼( I did the beat too ) 👊🏼
Everyone kept dancing
While it was all collapsing
The warning lights were flashing
But they just found it dazzling
Drowning out the answers
That no one felt like asking
🫡💚🌹
Incredible word play. Paints a picture in my head definitely
This is MUSIC man.. MashAllah, break the shells around our cold cold hearts..ya Rabb
🤲 Ameen Ya Rabil Alameen
Power to those who have a voice and a talent to use it. Fan of yours for the longest time Brother, keep being human - perfect in your imperfections.
Thanks for rockin with us
This song is amazing... And the visuals are out of this world. I feel like the two couldn't have been paired better..
Brother Ali still making music that matters. wish more would listen 👍
Feeling so blessed to be alive at the same time as Brother Ali and unJust. The perfect project for the times we find ourselves in together. Deepest of gratitude to be so touched by these words and images. ❤ Freedom and Justice to all oppressed people of the world.
Brother Ali. Still spitting the truth. Needed now more than ever ❤
Until he brings up muslim bullshit...
@@luthervaughn1bro what?
@@saucy208 Well, I'm a Christian who loves hip hop. Sucks to hear a great MC talk about muslim bs, when it basically teaches we're less than human, should be slaves, or tricked and killed into submission.
What you sayin' Bro What? to????
Thanks Ali for continuing to show the truth even when it hurts. Asalamalakum
Wa Alaikum As Salaam
ty, Brother and all-involved!
This brings me back to the very first song that introduced me to your music and made me fall in love with it. Mourning America. Still my favorite.
We need a lowkey and brother ali collab !
Feel that
Wow. Thank you so much for this masterpiece. Truth!
JUST really outdid himself on the visuals on this one!
He did…
Peace and Love

Art is resistance, Art is power, Jazakallah khair brother for creating such an awesome and important piece of art!
So dope! Love everything about this track.
Love and peace to you all. ❤
Pace and love back
Thank you once again Brother Ali for being a source of truth and wisdom. Shout out to you and other artists like Macklemore (Hinds Hall) for using your privilege to take on injustice. Big ups! Been a fan of Brother Ali for 15+ years and this song reminds me why.
Definitely getting Uncle Sam God Damn vibes with this one, though this feels like it has less anger and more grief, while still being a biting indictment of the empire.
Thank you Brother Ali!
I was at a great show you put on with SaRoc in D.C. before cvoid. Been rockin with you since my military days. Blessed to still be hearing from you✋🏻
Simply astounding.
Powerful, the work is appreciated, thank you Brother Ali.
Huge fan since 'Forest Whitiker', nothing but bangers since, can't wait for the new album ♥
Layered, soulful, motivating lyrics over a grounded yet otherworldly track.. been wondering what you were up to.. clearly God's work. Peace to you🙏
We need a Brother Ali + Evidence collab fam!!!
We made an album together in 2920 called Secrets & Escapes
Secrets and Escapes is a solid project. Can we get a Ali x Black Thought record ?
@@MrPredict2010Ali x Black Thought would be so sick

Thank you, Brother Ali and UnJUST, for this incredible work.
After all these years, you remained true to you Brother Ali! Wonderful record and I'm glad to see you still doing your thing.
Much appreciated! More to come

Brother Ali bringing me to tears again. Thank you for continuing to fight for what’s right. You have become a lens of injustice in my Caucasian Canadian bubble I live in. Thank you for this and the travellers podcast. EVERYONE check out the ZAKAT foundation if you want to help the world heal
Much love my friend
Yessir!!!
🌹💚
King of Lyrical Meaning Maa Salaama!
I first came across Brother Ali's work in "civil war", on an album of Immortal Technique. Best track on there in my opinion, and I wondered whose this amazing voice with this great message was, so I looked further and found one of my new favourite artists, one of the few that still disturbs the silence I seek without disturbing my peace. Thanks Brother, and all my love, from another Brother.
Love back
Pre-Ordered the vinyl. So good to have you back with a new project 💙
As Salaam Alaikum Brother Ali thank you for being consistent over the years with spreading the truth through your rhymes! We at New Freedom XChange would love to have you as a special guest on our show to promote your new music and career. Please let me know how we can move forward to make this happen. Insha’Allah
Speaking the real unvarnished truth!
Beautiful music..south africa approved ❤❤
Sending nuff luv from Singapore!
Another amazing show of story telling talent. Thank you, Sir!
Brother this is real ill 🔥
Mean🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My mentor may Allah bless you till eternity
1000000000% gold. Can’t wait for the full album!
That makes two of us!
The sheer amount of love and passion in your music is astounding and i love it bro keep it up!!!
That means a lot. Thank you
spot on, incredible!
In the chaos, when lies crumble and empires fall,
Truth emerges, humble hearts heed the call.
Tyrants tremble, their deeds revealed,
As love's resilience becomes unconcealed.
Oppression's grip loosens, as courage finds its voice,
In the face of fear, we make our choice.
The circus fades, distractions lose their sway,
As we dance in the ashes of a new day.
Thank you 💔💔💔🥺
The visuals have soul and emotion. This is what AI can't do.
Ai is based on old information and manipulated data chosen by people to affirm/ represent thier world view.
It cant create, think, feel emotions, or plan ahead.
That part!!!!!
@@BrotherAli_Travelersdude, you’re the goat
salaams brother, thank you for always speaking the truth. alhamdulillah.
Wa Alaikum As Salaam 💚🌹
Yea..
This that stuff!
That it is
Phenomenal
Kingdom of Thoughts 🔥🔥🔥
Brother Ali goated

🔥🔥🔥
*BARZ... happy fir this type of real hip hop being created #respect
Ali and Unjust are gonna give us THE MASTERPIECE.
It’s a major chapter of our lives and feels special to us. That’s the part we control.
God bless Brother Ali
🤲💚🌹
Peace God Brother ✊🏻
La ilahe illallah respect from Turkey
Hayırlı Ramazanlar abi. İstanbul’da yaşıyorum.

🌹💚
Phenomenal as always!
Damn, it's been years, I was kind of scared he retired... But right after I bought the 2 missing Vinyls to complete my collection, he returns.
Much love
Wow! This is up there with uncle sam god damn! Spectacular lyrics brother!
Much appreciated
@@BrotherAli_Travelers would love to see you work with lowkey. That would be a hell amazing lyrical track! Or Rugged man.
Holy shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish you hadn't fled from the US bc we could really use people like you RN. That fire you brought during the Champion and Undisputed Truth era made you a hero to me. I suppose we all change and grow some flee some fight. Some bleed some bite. Either way. I love you brother.
I no longer live in America but I still perform there, make music m, work in community and this video and album are proof that I haven’t fled anything. Continuing to pay the price for speaking truth when most are being careful.
"some flee some fight.."
Lol puhleazee.. B Ali's done & fought more battles than you ever could.. who are you and what exactly have you done?? Clownshit..smh
@@BrotherAli_Travelers Idk man. I used to really look forward to those home coming shows at 1st ave to end those long tours. It touched my heart when you got arrested for standing on the steps of the house being foreclosed on the families behalf. The times I got to talk to you at the Turf club and soundset are special to me. Hangin with Toki and benzilla and hearing how highly they held you up like I did. It's just not the same anymore. I will always be a fan and like I've told you before my gramma loved you. RSE put mini AP on the map for hiphop and I thank you for that
Art at its rawest form, how a poet can move and make strangers emote. Blessed to be on the journey with these artists and to be living in a world that enables it.
Beautiful sentiment. Thank you so much.
Let’s go 🔥 I’m ready brother Ali let them know
I may not 100% agree with Alis world views, but God Damm I have to respect the artistry. Ali is criminally underrated.
I respect that. Much love
This is powerful.
Big bad Brother Ali at it again with another powerful song exposing government lies and the corruption all around us. You are, without doubt, one of the most gifted wordsmiths to walk this earth. Your art always strikes a chord with me. Love from Scotland 🏴🇵🇸
So very kind of you. Much love!
Ramadan Mubarak
Ramadan Kareem!
@@Serialkoala masha’Allah ! ماشاء الله
Ramadon kareem! 😊
Wow so powerful.. Free Philistine!
All day
Much love Ali, Ramadan mubarak@@BrotherAli_Travelers
Love it.
