Orwell

They don't really care about us
But they know they can't live without us
Everything revolves around us
So we can stop it if we stand up
If you're tired of being exploited point em' out
Poison waters in a drought
When New Orleans got destroyed you let em' drown
Lady Liberty, you let us down
Can you help us up?
What the fuck?
Feeling like I'm stuck
Guess I'm out of luck, nah
It can change if we stand up
Put a hand up if you get it
If we band up they can't handle us
If we man up we'll be winnin'
Got a right to bear arms
But I fight with bare hands
If I'm buried when you hear this hope you carried out the plan
It's true that you can make a difference
There's a point to our existence
To everybody listening
Start paying close attention
There's a lot of things that are hid from us and a lot of facts that aren't mentioned
And the race bait thrown in our face is another way to cause tension
Red, yellow, brown, white, black, we can take this country back
Middle, working, lower class, take some names, kick some ass
What the hell are we waiting for?
I don't think we can wait no more
What are we still debating for?
Orwell, 84
They don't really care about us
But they know they can't live without us
Everything revolves around us
So we can stop it if we stand up
They don't really care about us
But they know they can't live without us
Everything revolves around us
So we can stop it if we stand up
History has been rewrote
Present facts are being altered
We're the future, we can't falter
It's our fault if they steal the culture and appropriate it
Fight for truth
And if you procreated teach your child to be associated with social changes that are positive
You don't have to be a politician to expand the mission or ask permission to do what's right
You've got a light inside you
Don't dim it down, let it shine through
This system has been designed to make your job be what defines you
But there's more to us than what meets the eye
If we stand tall we can reach the sky and beat the odds
They built a matrix
Let's be the mods and give the world a facelift
Recently I had a realization
They can dictate but we don't have to take it
Take ownership of your situation
That's the way to take power back
Backin' down is how cowards act
I ain't ever been down with that
Who controls the past
Controls the future
Who controls the present
Controls the past
They don't really care about us
But they know they can't live without us
Everything revolves around us
So we can stop it if we stand up
They don't really care about us
But they know they can't live without us
Everything revolves around us
So we can stop it if we stand up

Cops (feat. Just Wise)
04:02

Go to poor communities and you'll see where the war is
A cop can kill a person, get rewarded for performance
A cop can triple-murder, get it cut to manslaughter
A cop can use authority to rape a man's daughter
Cops
Back again
They wanna put me in the cuffs on the back again
Back again
They wanna put me in the cuffs on the back again
Back again
Back again
Back again
They wanna put me in the cuffs on the back again
Feds called for backup
Mama called the florist
Witness takin' pictures like a tourist
The dashboard cameras had recordings now they're missin'
I just read the headline, this is what was written
"Cop Kills Teen for Moving Without Permission"
That was last week, this morning he's goin' fishin'
A cop will put you in prison if you're struggling with addiction
Then go see his physician and get another prescription
I could trust a good cop if I knew that one existed
So if one is listenin' make the change, be the difference
Instead of being indifferent while your boys carry out the mission
If you're from the lower half then you know to keep your distance from the cops
Cause if you
Go to poor communities and you'll see where the war is
A cop can kill a person, get rewarded for performance
A cop can triple-murder, get it cut to manslaughter
A cop can use authority to rape a man's daughter
Cops
Where you gonna go when the tides turn?
Whatcha gonna do when we rise up?
Tell me whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Motherfuck the government and motherfuck the system
And motherfuck you if you feeling any different
Ain't no patriotism just tell em' "don't shoot"
Dirty cops on the block stackin' all that loot
Talkin' 'bout they laws, homie what about truth?
They had him on the camera with the hammer, that's proof
Damn
Just imagine that life
Just imagine those dreams
What they mother feel like
And this is real life, check your TV news
But don't check for the Fox you might get confused
All these broken right wings can't fly this smooth
Yeah, Black lives matter
This is Black IQ
Back again
They wanna put me in the cuffs on the back again
Back again
They wanna put me in the cuffs on the back again
Back again
Back again
Back again
They wanna put me in the cuffs on the back again
Go to poor communities and you'll see where the war is
A cop can kill a person, get rewarded for performance
A cop can triple-murder, get it cut to manslaughter

Material dreams
Material dreams
We dream of material things
(Yeah)
Material dreams
(Yeah)
Gimme cars, gimme trucks
Couple homes, couple yachts
Everything is not enough, nah
Only thing you need is stuff
Life's tough for the poor
You don't really give a fuck, nah
You're the type to tell me "go and get a job" when I just left my first, 'bout to punch another clock, nah
Times tough but I'm pushing for a dream
So despite all of your schemes I am going to achieve
Believe me, I'm gettin' what I need now
(Yeah)
Now I gotta hold my team down
Ask me if I care about my planet and it's future and I'll tell ya
(Yeah)
If I didn't I'd be stupid
Looking out for my fellow man's always in the plans if I can
(Yeah)
If I can help you I'ma do it
Goin' through it is a part of life
This I understand
But it's tougher when you're stuck within the gears of the machine's material dreams
(Yeah)
Material dreams
(Yeah)
We dream of material things
(Yeah)
Material dreams
(Yeah)
Have you ever had to get a second job just to eat?
Or get a third to keep your family off the street?
Have you ever spent a night wonderin' where you're gonna sleep?
When you're fightin' demons got no time for countin' sheep
Countin' money making sure I got enough to pay the rent
Gas, food, bills; only money that I spent
Still I struggle just to make it through to the 31st
Got me feelin' like my brains 'bout to burst, maybe worse
My stage is the Earth
I rehearse 'til it hurts
Will it work?
(Yeah)
I just gotta know my worth
Have I done a little dirt just to make myself a way?
I gotta say
(Yeah)
When you're put into the game gotta play
Another day more currency and currently I'm stuck but
I'ma get out of this rut, look
I am never what? Shook
This is what I bleed
Do it for the love not greed
C.R.E.A.M
Material dreams
(Yeah)
Material dreams
(Yeah)
We dream of material things
(Yeah)

She calls me "Papi", I'm her heroin
China White American
All her friends like "Why'd you marry him? We're scared of him"
I call him "Papi", he's my heroin
China White American
All my friends like "Why'd you marry him? We're scared of him"
I make her ill
She loves me still
She'll steal for me
She's seen me kill
She knew the guy just not that well
She lost her will
I made her life hell
Used to say she would never touch me
Now she's risking her life to fuck me
Back then she didn't want me
Now she's got me, still lonely
Really had no say in this
She didn't know who she was playin' with
Not the way that she wanted it, but she'll deal with it
That's the way it is
She doesn't raise her kids
I hold her back
She said "love hurts"
I could've told you that
My heart is black
She's in the trap
I stole her life, she can't take it back
She calls me "Papi", I'm her heroin
China White American
All her friends like "Why'd you marry him? We're scared of him"
I call him "Papi", he's my heroin
China White American
All my friends like "Why'd you marry him? We're scared of him"
Tell me Papi, why you playin' me?
You've got me under your spell
Every time I try to quit you know the perfect thing to say to me
You know me so well
I know I'm probably gonna die with you, I think that I'm ok with that
Already living in hell
Your so destructive but seductive so I let you get away with that
I know you can tell
She calls me "Papi", I'm her heroin
China White American
All her friends like "Why'd you marry him? We're scared of him"
