This track was written and recorded December 23rd 2015 while I was stuck home with a broken ankle. The heavy news at the time was unarmed black men getting killed by police all over the country; most of the time the cops were not getting arrested for their actions of murder...this was my response, and things haven't changed much.
Champagne pops
To kill the pain like cops slaying another black teen
STOP
unnamed
unarmed
keep’em in chains, hoodies and barbed wire fences
lock’em in a yard like a dog that’s reckless
protect us not by fear and force
We here have lost our hopes in high courts
our justice has faults
they’re playing like sports
fussing and fighting
knighted for lost bodies
if it’s night, toss the body in the ditch
and unload a clip in the kid for giving lip like he did
He spoke up to the limp dick bitch with a badge
How can we fight a battle that’s matched unfair?
dispatched
send more units like flair
they fire them up
hired, tenured, retired
for what?
who are they serving when they’re programmed like servents to focus their purpose on numbers to hurt us?
quota counting, donut eating, soda drinking hounds
round’em up, the innocent victims, throw’em in the pound
they get paid by weight
scale’em, skin’em
‘they've been failing from the beginning, it’s their fate’
so they wail’em and kick’em
they’ve been ailing from the sickness and they can’t escape
this viscous cycle is vital to life
the squad has their rifles and they’re ready to shoot tonight
loot your life
loot for life
i got no loot
i got no life
we need roots like Toby’s trife
it’s trite it’s like “It’s normal, right?”
it’s regular news, it’s just everyday life
From ISIS to Ice Kids
PD to Vice Grips
Mike Tyson can’t fight this violence from night Crips
Blood drips down a telephone pole
Not even ET can make his call home
stop the violence
stop the greed
they’re both a by-product from watching capitalist TV
factual viewings of refugees left by society
grant Immunity, Amnesty, freedom from tyranny
tiredly I ironically am tired of fighting too
but lately I’ve noticed that it frightens you
get off your fucking couch and demand back your liberties
unite together, Black, White, Syrian, Mexican, Any oppressed alien
of any thespian ally
All of US
make a statement that 99% is done with this shit
stop killing us with blood money you dumb prick
cuz this private dick will slip into slit and bust some shit
I’m a fucking gumshoe stuck on my heels
but your hands up, cuz im gunning for real
Buca Buca boo buca, bu buca buca blah
If ultimate peace is the answer?
why do we listen to bullying banter
even schools are eliminating antlers
we should be hopeful for no postal disasters
you cannot achieve peace with war as the answer
animosity will brew under nervous laughter
cuz they’re plotting revenge to avenge ancestors
they’re invested
we're conflicted
ive protested, and i’ve shifted
I’ve been lifted, i’ve been level, i’ve been balanced and i’ve been disheveled
the devil tests our treble with our actions
how we act in trouble with our tactics
if we’re attacking or practical
acting logical with coherent thoughts is rational
passionate proletariat
they capture white flags from territories
terror and gory
im better with glory
an inventor of underdog stories
30 plus years with a hustle
historians ruffle through pages like “His story is outrageous, right?”
courageous
i’ve jumped through flames and made it
i’ve played the game and changed it
chained and been in cages
change is in the wages
trains have been raided
i’ve reigned as a sovereign tasteless ruler
but ive seen the light in being selfless is cooler
ive worn many masks
ive done many tasks
and if had many people ask “Why I Roam?”
I want a universal home from Key West to New York to Miami to Rome
Texas, Vegas, Barcelona, Madrid
We’ve finally made it like cajuns and pagans
slayed many demons
accept the peace kid
respect to each kid
