A thug, a criminal, a brute, a fiend
What the fuck will they make out of me?
The pigs will take everything from you
even after they’ve taken your life.
A double death of your body and your soul.
They never have a view that’s whole.
The DA, the courts, the news,
they will never side with you.
Character Death
Manufactured prejudice, to destroy any positive views
Just to shield the police state
They make a monster of you
Put the spin on all that you do
Fucking fabricate
In the name of the blue
Before your body touches dirt
You’re smeared across the news
Double death
A fucking twin killing
They will never see
They will never feel
They will never have a view that’s whole

Imperialist Reign
02:19
|
|||
Death and destruction
Their demonstration of power
Bearing false witness
To total domination
Imperialist occupation
Near and afar
Pigs on the hunt
Every block, every state
(No mercy)
Death and destruction, just a spectacle to them all
They celebrate and reap the commoners' fall
Imperialist Reign
Nothing can stay the same
Imperialist Reign
Permanently fixed to the throne of hate
Monopolize the violence against our lives
Legitimize the imperialist rise
Laws and policies that serve our demise
Imperialist Reign
We're in the belly of the beast
As this war machine feasts
We’re in the belly of the beast
Watch as we rise and it falls to its knees

Trojan Horse
02:39

How can we be free, with this new, Black elite
The bastard sons look down on the poor
just a slave master wanna be
Think our problems will be solved
when you build our plantation.
All you’ll do is circumvent our liberation.
A Trojan horse at the core, You exploit, you destroy
Capitalism ain’t a solution, just exploitation, and collusion.
How can we be free, with this new Black elite
The bastard sons look down on the poor
just a slave master wannabe
A Trojan horse at the core, You exploit, you destroy
Pushing forward the class war
The pale horse to the Black poor.
The Black capitalist
integrated out of power
You sold out
You’re just a fucking coward
A Black Billionaire, only filled with hot air,
Your new found “freedom dreams”
Is just our captivity on thin ice
Your politic is reform, no new ideas but to conform

Your passion withered away,
The seeds were planted
went unattended
The knowledge needed to grow roots
Neglected, and ignored truths.
Social pressure released
No more eyes looking at me
How will I act, what will I see
When no one asked
Nothing from me
No motivation just more of the same
Your view’s been skewed and it’s nothing new
Black Lives aren’t a trend
Why can’t y’all see this through till the end.
(Corey talkin shit)
Your passion withered away,
The seeds planted went unattended
The knowledge needed to grow roots
Neglected, and ignored truths.
Black Lives aren’t a trend
Why can’t y’all see this through till the end.
Put out a shirt, donate the funds.
Sit back like your job is done.
So you say that your sorry
how you feel for our plight.
Get off your ass and continue the fight.

Flippin, divin, runnin a muck,
We in the pit and we dont give a fuck
Kickin, spinnin, jumpin in the air
We gettin down and we dont have a care.
Crawl on the floor, throw your hands in the air
A living room, or a stage, moshing everywhere
The beats of Move, keep your body movin
The sounds be boomin, all to keep ya groovin
Flippin, divin, runnin a muck,
We in the pit and we dont give a fuck
Kickin, spinnin, and jumpin in the air
We gettin down and we dont have a care
Feeling real mad
Feeling real pissed
Stomping all around we in this fuckin pit
Feeling real mad
Feeling real pissed
Stomping all around we in this fuckin pit GO!

We can’t remain complacent,
with this false sense of unity

Comrade

What the fuck are we trying to do
Collective power is what matters
What are we going to build
Don’t tell me you’re a comrade
Let's do this work
Put our energy where our mouth is
Together in the dirt
A struggle till the very end
A struggle we wont forget
Our struggle to the bitter end
A struggle we cant forget
Who the fuck are you talking to
Better talk with who matters
Comrades are needed for change
Build a vanguard
Arm the people
We need to organize
Comrade
Now were on the front lines
Time to defend what we believe
This is where we put in our time
Fight for our beliefs

1,000,000 Experiments

1,000,000 experiments every day
(Against all odds)
Without any big pay
Roots continue to grow each day
What will remain after we have our way
These experiments need to continue everyday
Transform what justice can be
Not just a gun and a sworn duty
Reimagine, and rebuild this state of decay
Free ourselves from this fascist fate
1,000,000 experiments every day
(Against all odds)
Without any big pay
Roots continue to grow each day
These experiments need to continue everyday

Black Radical Love
Awaken to the same sensation
Burning love & radical vision
A spark for our struggle, unlike any other
Abolition, Revolution, Liberation
All fueled by the same sensation
Black Radical Love
The beat behind the first brick thrown
Black
Radical
Black Radical Love
The catalyst behind the urge to learn
The power behind the movement, unwavering resolve
beauty in the struggle
why we never surrender
Black radical love
feeds every freedom fighter
It’s the love why we never surrender
It’s the love behind every step forward
BLACK RADICAL LOVE
