(Intro)
Yo, let me set the record straight
For the people, for the nation, sealin' our own fate.
(Verse 1)
William of Nassau, yeah that’s my name to claim,
With that old-school bloodline runnin' deep inside my veins.
For the fatherland I’m loyal, true until I’m in the ground,
A Prince of Orange, hear the sound, I’ll never back down.
Got no fear in my heart, I’m standin’ straight and tall,
I respected the King of Spain, yeah, I honored his call.
But when a ruler brings the pain and fills the streets with dread,
You gotta fight the power, listen to the words I said.
(Chorus)
This is for the homeland, a battle to be free,
With God as my witness for the whole world to see.
Against the cruel oppression, I am makin' my stand,
For the people, for the future, for this promised land.
(Verse 2)
My shield and my trust, that’s the Lord up on high,
He’s the rock that I build on, 'til the day that I die.
I pray I stay devoted, a servant to His word,
So the reason for this righteous fight is properly heard.
Gotta drive away the tyrants, break their iron fist,
Heal the heart of a nation that's been wounded and dismissed.
This ain't for the glory, it ain't for the fame,
This is for the freedom whispered in my name.
(Outro)
William the Silent.
But my actions speak loud.
Word.
