For All The...

You probably hate me, and everything I stand for
That's alright I'll sleep at night
I know it's typical for people to be scared
Of what they do not understand so
I'll try not to get personal
But y'all go ahead install the suicide net
In case I decide to jump out the building
When I hear about who the police brutalize next
When shit pops off I wonder;
Will I see you at the barricades?
Shields, bullets, tear gas and mace
Is that what you're prepared to face
Cuz, "IT'S HAPPENING"
As we continue this downward spiral
Which by my estimation is guarenteed to proceed
I go pyro!
Look into the face, look into the face
Look into the face of an athiest
Don't need a savior so save your spit
Don't need to believe in a myth to raise a fist
But dude that's alright,
don't expect me to get down
When you use religion as a way
To justify your hate, expect to get clowned
Now, to everyone regardless of your genitals or melanin
If you're down to struggle, let's rebel against this hellish situation
Now, revolutions won't be on the headlines
And they certainly will not be on the radio or television
It will be on the streets,
And the hearts and the minds
The folks who wanted a
A better world now
Use your rage to spark a flame
Don't let it go to waste
Don't let it burn, don't let it burn out!
[chorus x4]
Rock this boat, keep it burning!
Drop this knowledge, teaching/learning!

Shit's All Fucked Up
02:12

All alone and depressed, can't cope with the stress
Got a rope on my neck and a chair on lean
Spoke with death, she said, "don't tease,
Let go and just hope for the best!"
What is wrong with me?
Am I broken?
What a wreck, what a wretch, what a catch, on a ledge
Wanna come pretend I'm joking?
Lonliness, escapism,
Glowing boxes, depression
No one gives a fuck,
I don't blame them, I don't let them
I'm so careless, arrogant
To think you'd even wanna hear all this
But thanks for listening,
Makes me feel like less of a terrorist
Shit's all fucked up! (x3)
Started off feeling bad,
Now I'm feeling bad about feeling bad
On the real, I can deal if it's real
But if it's not then how can I deal with that?
What's more important,
Being willing to die for what you love?
Or being willing to live and survive
And endure this hardship, heavy torment?
I thought I was a sadist
I guess I'm just a masochist
All the world will hate this
The other ones will laugh at this
My dreams are fucked & jaded
I can't remember happiness
All the world's a slaveship
But you don't know the half of it
Shit's all fucked up (x3)

Solidarity! lean on me
Ads everywhere pushing things we don't need
Two reasons I don't kill myself:
AOC & primo weed, I keep busting until we all free
Upheaval iss the stylo-g
Til I'm out I be like motherfuck the C-O-Ps
God damnit on that you can please quote me
nah I don't give a fuck, not remotely
Listen up, listen up! here's my keynote speech:
Humans are a cancer, climate change is the chemo treat
Til I'm out stay gone, call it neon green
Yeah a message like this can be lonely
Homie got me, in the crossroads we gon meet
For a better world we gon bleed,
in the crossroads we gon meet
For a better world we gon bleed, it would be gorgeous!
*chorus*
It'd be gorgeous, imagine
It'd be gorgeous, imagine imagine!
Storming the boardrooms & mansions
& lashing the backs of the lords & the masters
In the Chicago, you would think killing's a hobby
The streets are littered with bodies
The liberals & ritual Ghandis
All wanna to blame guns while ignoring all the crippling poverty
World Star wants to blame the Illuminati
I believed that too, until I came to realize
The people we need to fight they got names & faces
& they're not an invisible cadre
We'll go from a war of the gang to a war of the class
We can all arise in an orgy of action,
Storming the boardrooms and mansions
Lashing the backs of the lords & the masters
*chorus*

Kidnap Your Boss
02:42
|

To all the managers
& the supervisors
To every boss I've ever had
Through all your power trips
& your ego mania
There's only one thing I wish I would have said
...fuck you and I wish you were dead!
We are precarious and temporary
They use this as a tool to keep us divided
Utilize their authority to belittle and demean
Cuz their lives are boring & uninspired
When they call you 'sweetheart' & it's not your name
When they play with your hours like a fucking game
For the smallest mistake they put you on a cross
There's no love to begin with & there's no love lost
*chorus*
Kidnap your boss! (Kidnap your boss!)
Kidnap your boss! (Kidnap your boss!)
Kidnap your boss!
When they fuck with your hours recoup that cost!
Kidnap your boss! (Kidnap your boss!)
Kidnap your boss!(Kidnap your boss!)
Kidnap your boss!
There's no love to begin with & there's no love lost!
It's so nefarious & unnecessary
They treat us like fools & they're enlightened
We comprise the majority & things could be improved
If we could only get united
When they call you 'illegal', anglicize your name
Their idea of teaching you is public shame
For the smallest mistake they put you on a cross
There's no love to begin with & there's no love lost
*chorus*

There ain't no middle ground, everything is partisan
The personal's political, gotta have the hardest skin
Deface the billboards, sabotage the magazines
Dispel the illusion, they're selling you a fantasy
I'm telling you it's maddening, I'm about to pop off
A clip at all these pop stars, probably I'll get locked up
Yeah he's got a mouth on him, & every surface got a spot on it
For an ad - oblivion is not far, not far!
Brain death, brain matter, grey matter, scattered on the rocks, god
What a waste, no matter, blame it on a hot dog
Watch where you walk dog,
We're standing on the lip of a volcano playing hop scotch
Shit is perilous, America, the place where if you're arab, you're a terrorist
Black, brown, & and even poor folks with the fairer skin, are food for the carrion
Yes the scene is very grim,
basically you're fucked unless you're very rich
*Chorus (x2)*
Robin Hood!
John Brown!
Fight back!
Right now!
Buzzkill he's on some John Brown shit
Ski masks & heaters go pow pow click
How about now it's simply time to get wicked
This motherfucking system needs a roundhouse kick
Slavery is alive if you look for it (look for it!)
You ain't gon' find it for sure if you ignore it
Y'all only see the twigs, it's a big forest
Behind all your new gear, there's some kids warring
There's some kids slaving, that shit cray
But these corporations just wanna get paid
See they don't really care if the land is trashed
As long as rich people their gadgets fast
Makes a cracka wanna go grab his ratchet blast
Back and reload ampersand stand back & laugh
Buzzkilla war path, can't hack my math
Record labels scamming, push hazard to a fragile mass
*Chorus (x2)*
Steal from the rich, give to the poor
Break your chains, kill your masters

Threshold

we're living with a legacy of blood
we're living with a legacy of hate
I'm thinking we'll never see the end of it
how the hell did we ever get so numb?
when we're staring right
in the face of total annihilation?
*chorus* (x2)
what's your limit?
what's your threshold?
what would it take to make you let go?
what's your limit?
what's your threshold?
we're living with a memory of blood
we're living with a memory of pain
I'm thinking we'll never see the end of it
how the hell did we ever get so cold?
as everything falls apart
to total desolation
*chorus* (x2)
