lyrics

AOC bringing realness back
A real patriotic mothafucka would call to repeal the act
Government Officials conceal the facts
Lantern, "who's that?", here to steal the track

Started off as a punk kid rapping my poems,
& now I got the FBI tapping my phones
Put your fists up, I want the clapping the cease
Keep 'em raised for everybody trapped in the beast

You see the revolution's booming, I surmise that it might burst
And all it's gonna take is a mic and a hype verse
Y'all can call me idealistic and naive
But check this, y'all gonna miss me when I leave

AOC spot a party we gon' crash in it
Starts placid with everybody mad timid
We start mashing, now everybody's passionate
We them type of cats to turn them true beleivers into mad cynics!

[Chorus]
I can't make it clear, I'll try to make it crystallized
Nobody's perfect, each of us has a list of lies,
Now that's demystified Y'all can kiss goodbye
Any preconceived notions, you might have of this design

In a world ruled by capital gains, how can one make a actual change?
I'm here to wake y'all with factual slang
They got you working as contractual slaves
Those who speak out blasted away

Like, poof! they redacted the page
Meaning they blacked out the names
Removed from history, a mystery, consisting of a distant dream
A faint echo, maybe a ghost or deja vu
Do re me fa so la - Ti, Fela Ku

And I can hear the screams hidden in silence
And I can see the screens ridden with violence
We bit the forbidden fruit, and let loose the venom inside us
Don't care how, just get the denim supplies up

We're American dreaming,
Like as if someone had enough dough to convince us
That the air isn't for breathing,so I share a vision for leaving
The cave man behind, it's time, stay sharp, start preparing this evening
