By ILLY RAP A touching September 11 2001 remembrance; with deep sympathy and expressions of the many feelings surrounding those attacks. (w/Lyrics sheet)
[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
[Verse 1:]
I will be rising; I ain't dying in this rubble
Was it just Muslim terrorist or Zionist devils
No more lying because I am prying till it settles
The score once for all
I ain't trying to cause trouble
But family members need answers
The first responders, was told that the air is non-toxic
Now they have cancers
I'm passing out these pamphlets
That says 911 truth
And why did you send China the proof
I think outside the box like my mind hopped out the booth
So you can see my thoughts through the rhymes that I produce
All we have to do is think rationally, internationally
Perhaps we'll catch the bastards that craft these mass casualties
[Verse 2:]
What's with all the hush
Is it because buildings don't burn to dust, unless they erupt with a thrust
But I guess I'm a weirdo
Because my life is still a mess like ground zero, but I found a hero
Multiplied by a thousand plurals
Set in stone like their names that surround the murals
We will never forget, but they will never admit
All the evidence that they neglect to present
To the public; this sounds like conspiracy theory doesn't it
Cuz we all been programmed by the fourth branch of the Government
Mainstream media, is cooking up the news
So you can only consume the same thing they feeding ya
[Verse 3:]
I will never break, fall, or crumble
This is not a cake walk, though you all are my muscle
We have to stand tall when we all in a struggle
For survival, don't be homicidal cuz then you're liable
When you conspire to deceive the people beside you
In alliance to evil elite that despise you
I'll advise truth to whoever wants their freedom
To study history's mistakes and not repeat them
We need to beat them, defeat them, and charge them with treason
Their traitors to we the people, these freaking schemers
Team up, torture heads-of-state, and leave them bleeding
Sodomized and televised in the evening
[Chorus:]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of vapor
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper

@LemeeLieToYa @MiloBoz I'm proud to be a fan of Illy Rap. I love his social consciousness and that he takes action by sharing such powerful artistic expressions. Could you two send personal messages to each others inbox & not clutter the comments here?

@MiloBoz I like how you represent The Anonymous, you make it sound good now, im just saying since u said that, not all of them are with the same cause. Like a couple days they hacked occupy Bellingham (in washington) It had a phoenix symbol on it and it said operation phoenix at the bottom , and had a time on it. Not liking the it scares people so much. But I know what the cause is, It's just do it bigger and better if your going to go that far. And i like that you make music bro good luck!

@LemeeLieToYa i should also add, the purpose of them doing all that hacking is not so much the act of frustrating these companies and agencies, but to bring attention to our cause.. it works as anonymous is now routinely covered by major news outlets.. although they do try to make us look like a bunch of anarchists and focus strictly on the hacking, anonymous comes from all colors & walks of life.. only a small percentage of anonymous are actually hackers! peace..

@LemeeLieToYa i don't hack, i make music.. Anonymous does many other things like organize protests, help protesters, gather intelligence, produce media to spread the message & another really important thing they do regularly is broadcast live streams of monitoring of the police at prostests..this helps stop police brutality against protesters..Anonymous isn't even a group.. It's an idea..You can kill a group, but not an idea whos time has come. If u have ideas for change please do contribute!

@MiloBoz None of that anonymous stuff....If they want change, don't do it through just the internet. Do it through internet, media, and physical change. Your not going to make a difference from a hacking of a big internet page. Anybody can do that. WE need more people that can do better things then that.

I'm glad that people like you are finally expressing their discontent, rather tha keeping it bottled up! Great song, very powerful, the truth always is!
