War Bidding 03:40
Inconclusive Human rights Become exclusive The writer of your laws Deemed abusive Inequality is gruesome Freedom an illusion The managers of fraud Lack of collective thought Use human life as stock Hands soaked in blood Sellin gats across the land CIA the terror camps What will be the cost? Innocent lives lost Go ahead and point your gun You think you're free? You’re being watched Detached latched onto cash Got suburban stash Greed like I got bars The kids to fight wars Top dollar your weapons Christian your views Eighteen’s old enough to kill But it ain’t old enough to booze Straight foolin’ Watch the corporate news We came here to blow the lid Waging wars in name of the cross War machines are built Your complex is now frail Tell the truth you end up in jail Your ship was up in flames before it sailed Your not free You’re being watched Detached Latched onto cash Got suburban stash Greed like I got bars The kids fight wars THE GLOBAL WEAPONS INDUSTRY IS WORTH AN ESTIMATED 400 BILLION DOLLARS THE UNITED STATES ALONE PRODUCES AN ANNUAL AVERAGE OF 3.5 MILLION FIREARMS PRIORITIZING THE MANUFACTURING OF KILLING MACHINES AT THE EXPENSE OF PRIMORDIAL HUMAN RIGHTS WE MUST RESIST THE COMMERCIALIZATION AND THE PROFIT GENERATED FROM THE TRADING OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION REMAIN SKEPTICAL, SEEK THE TRUTH THE FUTURE OF CIVILIZATION DEPENDS ON THE COLLAPSE OF THE BUSINESS OF WAR War Bidding Enough Warfare as stocks Remove the troops Zero profit from war “The most dangerous form of unfreedom is the unfreedom that appears in the very form of freedom” You’re not free You’re watched Freedom of the mind detached Weapon bidding attack Greed like I got bars The kids fight wars

What’s it like to be reflected In the cities we live Grassroot power the community give We the seed that grew, projects overdue Your planning papers we gon look through Dial it back look at the NYC Builder Moses set the cars free A planned divide We reap what we sow Not being able to afford The price of the flow RIGHT TO THE CITY PUT YOUR FIST UP WE BRING THE HEAT TO THE STREET AND BUILD UP RESISTANCE DEAD ENDS TO IMPUNITY STRIP THE POWER FROM YOUR HANDS BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY RIGHT TO THE CITY FOR ALL WE WILL RISE UP FROM THE PLIGHT THIS THE TIME TO REUNITE Grass-rooted movement Now get out the way De-construct the institutions That are poisoning today We pay their salary Oiling up the gears Now expose em like a gallery Empty words are toxic like an allergy Now tell me: When you gonna make a stand? When you gonna stop eating from the crooks hand? You grip the gat And there's reason to be mad Corporations make a profit from the motherland RIGHT TO THE CITY PUT YOUR FIST UP WE BRING THE HEAT TO THE STREET AND BUILD UP RESISTANCE DEAD ENDS TO IMPUNITY STRIP THE POWER FROM YOUR HANDS BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY RIGHT TO THE CITY FOR ALL WE WILL RISE UP FROM THE PLIGHT THIS THE TIME TO REUNITE Take a break from this chaos ridden life Hot-takes with the fakes That get paid to draw them lines On an altered world map To set boundaries False world view Machine spittin' Formed school system cavalry Murder for a salary Your warfare is a business No matter the war crime the political mafia will make sure to pay the witness They make sure to pay the witnesss Take it all back! Take it all away The street belong to ya Take it all back! We own this fuckin place! Its Broken The Neocon model has failed its broken Its fucking broken

This generation needs the soul Like a young Nina Simone Don’t let it hold you back Let it all be known Now get yo’ facts checked Revolutionary hustle Don’s act suspect Don't tell the kids how many people Daddy killed for a cheque Open yo’ mouth you gonna get decked Gentrify the mind The eye should not rest In between the lines Shut the young mouths up Don’t you let them mobilize Brute force assault Intimidation for the passer by How long until they send the military This is the era of the revolutionary How long until they send the military huh? This ain’t a test-drive Your in the trunk As the handcuffs click My brothers dyin’ in the west side Now fuck a test drive I want the keys The dark model stutters From a hook hangs my sanity Young minds enclosed The system is a cage Western education Don't you dare to turn the page The burden of a nation I’ll say it up on stage Fuck america Shout out to rage Take it all back With a thirst of revenge A desire of reckoning Don't you wake up wishing This was not true? Fuck Donald Trump And fuck the church too How long until they send the military This is the era of the revolutionary How long until they send the military This is the era of the revolutionary man They gentrify the mind The eyes should not rest in between the lines

No time to settle Problems laid out on the table Political positions fillin’ up with traitors The hand of power rocks corruption In its cradle My people watch your stable Kids die on the pavement We got a soulful spirit Rooted in the land we stole Planet’s future suffers And your pockets fill with coal (money) Blindfold comin’ off Found gold sold it off Power to the people And we bout to blow shit up Soak in the discourse Written behind closed doors Society the sponge The individual the pores Now we hold the pickaxe (target) on your cortex Modern day crusader Call mission aborted (fuck it) Welcome to the clan Rollin out the plan So the white man Understands ((There was love for this land)) They got you livin’ In a chamber Cut up your brain With the propaganda razor Dig up your grave But your debt stays One revolution away They hit your son With the taser Tick up in violence But you stay quiet Stick up! This shit the soundtrack To the riot Loose ends Not the way we tie it Tremor resists Your presidents lyin’ Democracy’s dead Pavement is red Sell, sell your goods This consumer ain’t buyin’ Bell bell tolls We deny it Live free, live free I’m keen to die tryin’ Welcome to the clan Rollin out the plan So the white man Can understand Before the colony They push my people to the boundary They got my people living on the periphery From 1492 to 1810 this colonial epiphany Your cities were built On unceded territory disregarding traditional knowledge The same outdated policies still define the norm Redefine Remold the form Death to the status quo Destabilize Modern empires must burn Before the colony There was love for this land Welcome to the clan Rollin out the plan So the white man Can understand Before the colony ((There was love for this land))
