Speaking In Tongues Lyrics & Chords By Hilltop Hoods

(Featuring: Chali 2na)

(Verse 1: 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 some base a set of opinions on race, sex or religion,
C'mon, enough day to day stress of just living,
Without giving a f*ck if they're hated just cause you're 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,
Cause 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

(Verse 2: 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 mans hands deep in your funds, raping 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

(Verse 3: Suffa)
I would never,
Hate someone for the way that they lay 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 â€" that's their prerogative,
No matter how you love, where your prayers are goin,
The anger's like a drug no matter where you're from
But f*ck 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

(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
