Closing Statement

1.
Monetary fetishists are fucking up our rights And running through out pockets as the monitor our lives They feed us lies to keep us stupid, scared and full of hate All so they can hook us on the shit that they create Watch you while sleep And listen when you speak Pressing on all sides And blinding all our eyes They're snitches and they're Thieves Control what you believe Bunch of corporate thugs Selling crack without the drugs And the sum of their lives is a death march Piggies out here looking like an army on the streets To protect them from the people that they rape and shoot and beat To protect their corporate masters from the masses of this land As they swap us for machines in systematic profit plans Watch you while sleep And listen when you speak Pressing on all sides And blinding all our eyes They're snitches and they're Thieves Control what you believe Bunch of corporate thugs Selling crack without the drugs And the sum of their lives is a death march

Living with a cop next door Mfkr moving in right underneath our floor Used to only see him in the streets But now that mfkrs living right next to me So much for protect & serve You're only making our homelifes worse You should really just fucking retire Can't stop the homies from slashing your tires I used to dream I used to scream but now it seems Cop next door I used toke I used to smoke but now I don't Cop next door Whoa whoa whoa Cop next door No more parties I'm always feeling shook Everytime I see him it's only dirty looks He beat his sister up, called the cops on us Did everything he could just to fuck us up I wish he would die or just move on but now we're sitting here & we're singing this song We got our revenge he never got his way Leaving music blasting every night we were away
3.
It's an abduction in the high beam of a flashlight, close encounters of the 12th kind on a slack night/ Stalag-tighter than the Mighty on a Bosstone, howlin' at the moon, I'm like a Husky on a hoss bone/ Slim Jesus pulled that stick out like Gretsky, I'm lost at sea flossy, DJ Khaled on a jet ski/ My recipe's heavy, late Elvis Presley, when I swing my pelvis freshly, in a jumpsuit, with a wedgie/ I'm edgy, like pyramids in Giza, Mona Lisa, Babygirl I get obscene I'm on that lean like tower Pisa (greased up)/ John Travolta tell the soundman turn the volts up... I'm King Kobra to these Ultras roll up If religion is the opium then apathys the death of us Forcing equilibrium on the entire populas Sing a song of sinsemilla til the quill is tingling, jingle bells are ringin, Santa's fuckin up the shingling/ I'm mingling, no Christian, with half a pot to piss in. The laughin stock of half the flock to pack apocalypse in/ Ragnarok disaster got's to add the proper diction, I am the Opera Phantom Papi, and I chop in kitchens/ Cleaver thru the bone, Santoku thru the flesh. Depeche ala Mode, son let's smoke some Budapest/ While coppers get the drop, Glocks are poppin like a crack pipe, lines got em open in the ocean don't get gaslighted up/ Fast life, burn the candle gotcha cash right, bombs over Chernoybl it's uranium at half life...

How do they sleep at night. Evil demons living lies. Their inaction justified. Destroying poor so rich can thrive. Go on & call 'em then. You already know. Go on & call 'em then. They're never gonna show. Time we take back our lives. Stand as one & finally fight. Overthrow oppressive reichs. Free ourselves from wretched binds. ACAB.
5.
Living in excess at someone elses Expense Half the population is in debt no one can pay the rent! (Make them pay) Why do you Live outside your means (Make them pay) Wealth vs poverty were all human beings (Make them pay) Addiction to wealth is your disease Children starving in the street No shoes and nothing to eat Down with the one percent Let us fight and never forget! DIE ON YOUR KNEES OR FIGHT WITH YOUR HANDS GET ON YOUR FEET SLAM IN SOME HEADS THEY DONT WANT PEACE THEN BRING THEM A WAR CLENCH YOUR TEETH AND YELL OUT "NO MORE" TIME TO GET UP TIME TO DESTROY ALL EMPIRES WILL FALL INTO A FIREY STORM IN ALL THAT YOU DO ALL THAT YOU SAY ... MAKE THEM PAY
6.
Losing my mind & control of my brain. I think this is it, I'm going insane. Can't even take it, finally fucking lost it. So I found a fucking doc because I couldn't fucking take it & she gave me a bunch of pills and said I had to fucking take them I thought "how it goes" I hate my life, but hate cops more. Every night I'd find myself on the floor. Wondering how I got through this shit before. Facing my mortality, hoping I can get some sleep. Wondering if this is all some fucked kind of dream. This pain will fade again someday, 'till then we all commiserate. Step into my shoes. See how it feels to lose. Then try to justify all your sick elitist views. People need the help. Programs need the backing. Everything could use a little funding but the man doesn't think that it's important but the kids keep fucking dying it's the nightly leading story. Fuck that shit.
7.
Out on the water, protecting the land Use any excuse to keep a gun in your hand Not cut for the streets, now on the waterways Your inadequacies will not be kept at bay Your ego won’t float with that life jacket vest Try as you might to puff out your chest You think you’re something special, but no one gives a fuck Even the judge knows… Boat cops suck Continue the case, wasting my time Just so you can get your story in line Report to the judge is riddled with lies You can’t even remember the color of my eyes Baseless accusations and unfounded claims You play with reality like it’s some kind of game You ruined my night but you can’t control my life It’s not bad luck … Boat cops suck
8.
Sign a lease, choked by the leash seeking shelter famine or feast this is belly of the beast Opportunity out of reach I paid my rent today cause I just got paid but I can't get back to sleep because now I'm right back into debt. Rent this high should be a crime We are struggling to survive Rent this high Is a fucking crime Living off Nickels and dimes The Struggle is real every single day needing some help in every single way, can’t find work, there’s no work to be done! We must organize and overcome Check to check. Losing bets. Paying feds 'til I'm dead. Living off scraps of bread. (A) System for profit abuses the people!

Nada en mis manos Aqui llego alborotado Y en mis venas traigo algo Mas que sangre corre bravo Es candela es un fuego Que me quema mas por dentro Y si sale ya tu sabes Ir amíl seria my lento Lo que encuentro es carbón En los sonidos de canción Solo quedarán cenizas Del estado de inmigración Porque no se ven paredes Solo rayitas pintadas No hay nada que nos para De unirnos y cruzarlas Sin fronteras Sin control En mis sueños veo un hilo Que nos hace ahorcar Voces del nacionalismo Bien difícil de aguantar Pero aguantamos mucho En los hombros y la mente Caminando o en balsa Siempre en contra del corriente Ese hilo que soñé Seria facil de cortar Si nos despertamos juntos Y con voz alta cantar Ese coro que escuchan Cuando vamos a marchar Por los DErechos humanos Ya es hora de luchar Nothing in my hands I arrived all messed up (fucked up, rowdy, angry) Bringing something in my veins* More than blood, coursing angrily It’s a flame It’s a fire That burns me up inside And if it comes out you already know Running away really fast would be too slow What I’ve found are charcoal briquettes In the sounds of this song I’ll be leaving only ashes Of the (current) state of immigration Because you can’t see any walls Only little painted lines There’s nothing stopping us From uniting and crossing them No Borders No Control In my dreams I see a thread (string) That chokes us all Nationalist voices (rhetoric) That’s difficult to bear But we bear so much On our shoulders and in our minds Whether walking or rafting We’re always going against the current But that string from my dreams Is easy to cut If we wake up together And unite our voices to sing That chorus that you hear As we march forward For the sake of human rights It’s time to fight
10.
Fuck your job, fuck your profession that’s just me, this is my confession these cops are out of control let’s squad up it’s time to roll! Parents grabbing shovels to bury their kids Is this a life you really wanna live? Take from the family and never give back That’s why we are here to attack! Taking lives over time is genocide Thin blue crime More than fines serving time for every life Thin blue crime Blue Uniform kept nice and neat Hassling people living on the street begging for money to get some food Arresting kids for bad attitudes Steal and lie they do it all the time Treating people so unkind Police brutality still on the rise It ends here no compromise
