==================
Timid releases the first music video off of his latest album No Time For The Jibba Jabba. "Let Freedom Ring" is an aggressive politically charged song that takes shots at injustices that hinder the freedom's all men and women have the rights to. Location back drops enhance the message of the song with graffiti messages of 'Freedom". The was directed by Kanin Murphy with beautifully done visual kinetic typography by Anita Rani (Olympics title sequence (UK)). Hip Hop producer Domingo (Big Pun, Fat Joe, Eminem, G-Unit, KRS-One, Rakim) lays a track for the remix that helps to convey the seriousness of the topic Timid is speaking on.

==================
Lyrics

To let freedom ring true in the ears of every man
Woman and child it's time to take a stand
Because the plan don't include you and I
There's truth in lies like what Bush describes
As the terrorists being jealous of our liberty
Asking the middle least is the enemy them or we
You for tail in your tales of democracy
Mr. President it's evident to me it's hypocrisy
The green eyes that I see eyes the green and black gold
The facts told, you're that bold you're that cold
Let freedom ring true in honor of victims
That died innocent in a quest for another's riches
911 was whored as leverage to force the message
Of your agenda of by fear to legitimize your methods
Your pride is senseless and your lies endless
We're tied bound and gagged and our lives defenseless
Even minds are rendered useless of all reason
Recount your own actions and speak to me of treason
The Patriot Act, call it the Bin Laden initiative
Citizens get treated like the Taliban did them
Or Redcoats did pilgrims in the name of England
Independent thoughts lead unsatisfied men
Skull and Bones marks the mantle of danger
Redirecting our anger to shadows and distant strangers

Let freedom ring
From the slums to the ears of God
Let freedom ring
From the babes in their mothers arms
Let freedom ring
From Iraq Israel
Let freedom ring
From America before we sell

The revolution will be televised
Because when I get a chance to tell them lies
I'm going on the television to tell a vision
Channel 0's the only place the people will listen
Islam you call a Jihad to settle a score
I understand your pain by holy men don't war
And Allah or God don't want that blood on their name
Especially innocent lives you take in vain
Cradle of civilization? Dome of the rock, to say the least
If that's the case, no wonder there is no peace
From the Potala in Lhasa to Beijing's Red Square
Picture monks staring down gun barrels full of fear
Let us be clear, all men are created equal
But nurture has a way of turning the people evil
China took lessons from the British and communists
Now Taiwan is a target for imperial dominance
Give us us free from Pyonyang to the Sudan
Freedom to have the peace in our lives that we should have
Freedom from your greed at our expense
Freedom from you getting ahead by putting our lives at risk
Free of for me to practice Falun Gong in peace
And not have children tortured to make me cease
Freedom for prejudices forced against my people
Freedom to walk among my brethren and fear no evil

Let freedom ring
From the slums to the ears of God
Let freedom ring
From the babes in their mothers arms
Let freedom ring
From Iraq Israel
Let freedom ring
From America before we sell

  • You spoke up for Falun Gong. Good on you. Few people have the courage to speak for Falun Gong's Freedom. People of Falun Gong are being demonized, put in concentrations camps and organ harvested for their Buddhist beliefs. Let Freedom Ring. This is impacting 100 million Falun Gong practitioners of Truth-Compassion-Tolerance in Communist China. Good on you man. Thank you for your courage. Best rap song I have ever heard. Full of meaning.
