The red and the blue, the sun and the moon The yin and the yang, all one and the same Tranquil and manic go hand-in-hand War and peace go hand-to-hand But in the war for peace how many souls decease every time they make cannons blam I believe I was summoned, to call out corruption The powers above are something disgusting How are they stumbling at the top of the summit While those at bottom must suffer and plummet The truth's hard to swallow I can't even stomach We need revolution and I'm gonna run it To reshape the systems in which we all function Redeem power and free the means of production No trust in government their words don't mean nothing The rich at the top they feed off our suffering And make us believe the game isn't rigged Appeal to authority since we were kids Told us accept "it is what it is" And gaslight anyone throwing a fit Land of the free but it's built off of slaves Ignore our mistakes keep them hidden away Tuskegee Syphilis, Operation Northwood, MK Ultra, the Bay of Pigs Our hands covered in dirt we continue to dig Bury minorities who continue to kick Who are gasping for air and in need of breath And have our police put knees on necks Tie Hispanics to weed Blacks to cocaine As if white college campuses aren't the same Redline our houses and ruin communities Stereotype- all with impunity Media cycles it isn't their fault But nothing has changed we did nothing at all Remember summer and fall with BLM Repose for their souls we ignored their calls Look at police when we're slashing their budgets It's practically nothing a drop in the bucket Our anger misguided they're only a symptom But we blame them the headlines convince us I don't support any act of destruction But to be honest these activists sucking Tweet on their Twitter and post on the 'Gram But they don't understand, they don't want discussion They feeling accomplished, they boasting so grand But don't take a stand as if it means something All of our struggles get turned into trends By these white saviors making amends It isn't cute they don't care for the truth Half only care for approval by friends Liberal, conservative, dividing our peoples Been governed by both but still never equal Trump was a racist It's easy to say it Now Biden in office It's more of the same On the right side of history You can do what you want When you get power, what makes you stop? I'm no politician, I'm just a musician My word ain't the Bible this just my opinion But even the Bible's a collection of thoughts It's on the reader connecting the dots To believe in a cause, to think on their own Or believe in another, reflect on the cost All that I ask is that you see on your own Fight for your cause before all is lost
