Fire bun these sirens Babylon's Insurgents These vagabonding tyrants Pigs in blankets and garments Armed gangs protecting parliaments Claim their cowardice as valiance Blame everyone for the violence Frame our self-defence as Defiance Tame lawful resistance and noncompliance Forceful with unlawful appliance Though themselves crooked, they insist on our abidance Break everything but their silence Breaking people into fragments They've forged an immoral alliance When Corruption is a systemic science Brutality is within their allowance Fire bun these sirens The scales of justice have never be balanced When their pendulum swings it's often been biased They've re-tuned their hypocrisy to sound like ballads Made harmonies from the sound of people getting battered Tear gas, so we scatter Bullets rip through flesh as blood splatters Black blood turned paint on streets and taint their platter Oh, to fight for idea that Black Lives do in fact Matter Fire bun these sirens In the favelas, the ones in blue, ati awon olopa Let's not dance around the fact, that there's a history of bones getting shattered We're made sick by this disease from which they conceived that our bodies were autumn leaves suitable for hanging in trees Closed door brutality, they strip searched a 15 year old black girl on her Menzies Thick as thieves, there's no misunderstanding when some says I can't breathe Suffocating in the purgatory of youth and ambition in Nigeria's streets Falling to their knees as the heavy artillery piercing through their capillaries fall simultaneously These police. Take power trips like addicts hiding the high on their faces These police. Take corruption to the highest of places Let's face it. These police. Have always been institutionally racist Fire bun these sirens
