War Bidding

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

Right to the City

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

Revolutionary Hustle
04:37
|

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

Before the Colony
03:43
|

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))
