Speaking In Tongues (feat. Chali 2na) Lyrics


Another war another martyr revered
Passed the fear from their fathers then it's lasting for years
Bullets don't discriminate the skin color 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
Come on, enough day to day stress of just living
Without giving a fuck 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 comeI 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 drumMedia 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 comeI 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 drumI would never
Hate someone for the way they display love for 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, that's their prerogative
They're mad at how you love, where your prayers are going
Their anger's like a drug, they're mad at where you from
But fuck 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 comeI 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 drumThey 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 tonguesI 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

Hilltop Hoods is a hip hop group, formed in 1991, from Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Their name refers to Hilltop Road In Blackwood, an Adelaide suburb in which they lived as children, and a part of Adelaide known by all the local B-Boys as The Hilltop. One day, another local rapper, Flak from the Cross Bred Mongrels, said that's what they should call themselves, and the name stuck.

The group formed when MCs Suffa and Pressure met at high school. When they later hooked up with DJ Debris through a mutual friend, the trio was complete.

They were inspired by American hip hop artists such as KRS-One, Gang Starr and Pete Rock, who encouraged them to spread this style of music in Australia.

The Hilltop Hoods have released eight successful recordings - Back Once Again (EP - 1997), A Matter of Time (LP - 1999), Left Foot, Right Foot (LP - 2001), The Calling (LP - 2003), The Hard Road (LP - 2006), The Hard Road: Restrung (LP-2007) ,State Of The Art (LP - 2009) and Drinking From The Sun (LP - 2012). The Calling achieved gold status in Australia (35,000+ copies sold), the first hip-hop album to do so. Two tracks (The Nosebleed Section and Dumb Enough) received places in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2003, at 9th and 44th respectively. The Nosebleed Section also came in at number 17 in the Triple J Hottest Hundred Of All Time, making it the highest ranked Australian song on the list, and the only hip-hop track to make the cut. LP The Hard Road also topped the Australian charts, another first for Australian Hip-Hop.


Aside from their own albums, they have featured on a number of highly respected compilation albums, including Obesecity and Culture of Kings Vol. 1 & 2, and have collaborated with most of the main players of the Australian hip hop scene including Koolism, Mass MC, Pegz, Muphin, Layla, Hyjak and Bonez.

They have played many large Australian music festivals, including the Big Day Out, Splendour in the Grass and Falls Festivals. They have received nominations for the Best Hip Hop Act in 2001 and 2002 at the 3D World Dance Music Awards, won the APRA award for best up-coming group as well as receiving number one positions in independent charts all around Australia.
