Battle Cry Lyrics


[Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky
Ouh-ouh[Angel Haze]
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 yellin': "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 glockin'
And I'm just out here sprintin', I'm runnin' right through my vision
I'm trying to out run my past, but still trying to defeat my limits
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 fuckin' 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 then all that you beat
And you can say[Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky
Ouh-ouh[Angel Haze]
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 born to destroy the fallacies, stop creating believers
Start creating the leaders, tell 'em who they should follow
Nobody but themselves, especially if they hollow
Especially when they empty and death reserves for fulfillment
You the only person alive who holds the key to your healin'
So you take it and you run with it
And keep going even when your suns hidden
Because the time we spend in darkness when the rain comes
Is where we often find the light soon as the pain's done
There ain't material things in the world
That can change the fact that you feel lonely
Despite the fact that it gets hard, you take it all and you still go
Take the sun and you still grow, lose the light and you still glow
I been there, I'm still here and I know how you feel, so[Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky
Ouh-ouh[Bridge]
We don't wanna fight
So sing with me our battle cry
Sing with me our battle cry
Ouh-ouh
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh[Angel Haze]
It's hard to explain my way of living to people who never lived it
A minute in my position filled with my opposition
That 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 their 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"[Sia]
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh
It's just you and I
So lift your hands toward the sky
Lift your hands toward the sky
Ouh-ouhWe don't wanna fight
So sing with me our battle cry
Sing with me our battle cry
Ouh-ouh
Money cannot buy
All the love that's here tonight
All the love that's here tonight
Ouh-ouh

Raykeea Wilson (born 1991), better known by her stage name Angel Haze, is an African American , Native American rapper and lyricist signed to Universal Republic and Island. She was born in Detroit, Michigan and grew up in the Greater Apostolic Faith.
She released her EP Reservation online in July 2012. She is planning a collaboration with Azealia Banks. She lives in Springfield, Virginia. In 2012, she took part in the BET Hip-Hop Award's Cypher. She was also featured on Funk Volume's artist Dizzy Wright's mixtape "SmokeOut Conversations" on the remix track for "Can't Trust Em'." The song also featured on the track now Funk Volume artist Jarren Benton. On Angel Haze’s 2012 mixtape Classick, she recorded a version of Eminem’s song, "Cleanin' Out My Closet". Earbuddy's John Downey wrote "Haze’s take on Slim Shady’s classic tune might be the superior product."
It was announced that Universal Republic Records was going defunct, making artists including Haze to move from its roster to revived Republic Records. On December 9, 2012, the BBC announced that she had been nominated for the Sound of 2013 poll.

Angel is a newcomer to the hip hop scene in more than one sense: not only is she a new and relatively underrated up-and-comer in music, but hip hop itself and the culture it comes with are new to her as well. A poet before anything else, she says: “I started writing when I was 11. It was one of many times in my life where I needed some release, some structure. So I let my words play captions to my muted emotion”. The idea that these captions might actually be lyrics only occurred to her relatively recently, when a friend opened her eyes to the possibility of turning her poems into raps.

Although not a veteran, Angel is definitely seasoned regardless of her apparent lack of experience, and people are starting to notice. To date, she’s been featured on several music blogs and websites, including a profile on HotNewHipHop and a feature for UrbanSteez’s Unsigned Hype. In two short years, she already has thousands of fans following her career online, her songs have presently surpassed the 40,000 mark in downloads, and she can count established acts like Audio Push and New Jersey’s Brick Bandits among those she’s worked with to date. When asked how she’s reached these heights with such little active promotion, Angel replies that while there seem to be so many people who want to be musicians, there are only few who actually are. “It’s all a matter of how you approach things”, she says, “stay humble, stay fierce and stay true to who you are.”

This is what differentiates Angel from so many of her peers: she is wholly and unapologetically herself at all times, regardless of any judgments that many ensue. Whether it’s her unexpectedly bold statements, her passionate desire for success or her closeted fear of it, Angel Haze is never comparable to anything but Angel Haze, and it works to her benefit. Drawing inspiration from acts as diverse as her audience, she likens herself to a “rapper smoothie”, combining the tastes and styles of many to create a completely fresh and unique flavor of her own.

While it seems like every musician’s goal to gain recognition and success via their art, Angel has further ambitions: “I want to make people feel connected. I want to tell a story – everybody’s story”.
