Lyrics " Insurrection "

Original text with translation

Insurrection

Strife

Born into shit

I’m sworn to resist

Always been a thorn in the side of Big Biz

We can’t afford to submit, time to Think big…

Take over ya workplace, hand ya boss a pink slip

Told us we’re all pre-rich

I believed em, till the sherriff came to evict

And my debts eclipsed, my right to exist, i’ve seen shit

Protests been villianized, I mean it

It’s getting late

The states militarized, plain as day

Free speech ain’t free, the cost is a cage

Speak up- get framed and locked away

Maybe lost in the rat race maze

But it’s not too late

I’ve lived under the gun

And I’ve lived under strain

Still Driven to overcome the hunger pains

While some brains get branded and tongues get trained

I Reveal the puppeteers who fund campaigns

See the bank in flames will burn gepetto’s strings

Lemme explain the game and set it straight

We don’t stop em now, how can we see a better day?

In this free market state

Control breeds hate

Wall street the target

Let’s clear the slate

Test ya free-will, time to wrestle fate

Manifest with skills, don’t just speculate

We’re not vassals or slaves

Grab tha torch and storm the castles gates

I’ll bring it to ya face cause

Talk is cheap

Mean what you say

Say what you mean

Our Love & Rage

We’ll take it to the streets

The owners won’t let us dream

We won’t let em sleep

I’m in ya corner

Best believe

I gotcha back

Til we’re wild and free

Launch attacks

Till we get what we need

Don the black mask

The math doesn’t add up

That’s a haunting fact

Raid the rich

Take the sponsors cash

We’re coming for the king

Now the pawns have gats (x2)

Bridge

Tip the scales

Of robber-baron policy

Pistol sales can

Flip the script of inequality

Verse 3a

Get off your knees

The foods under lock and key

Soon charged you for clean air to breathe

It’s Manufactured scarcity

We make ends meet precariously

You got the match, (huh.)

I got the kerosene

Now we baring our teeth

And sharing their feast

I’m daring to get free

They’ll never break me

I ain’t a rat

Chasing fast cheese

Manipulation leads to catastrophe

Gentrification is dastardly

Don’t accept it passively

That’s not how it has to be

Blast with me

Turn ya life to a masterpiece

Learn from trouble strife and tragedy

In struggle we’re all one human family

So Get the last laugh with me

Bridge

Not surprised our rights been neglected

Watch us rise tonight, it’s insurrection

Verse 3b

Back Against the Wall

Waiting for the Axe to Fall

Facing Shock and awe

We cock and draw, plan and plot

Get your neck off the chopping block

It’s the final straw

It’s the last stop

We’re the have-nots

Why we share what we got

Tired of being double-crossed

Strike while the irons hot

All ya need is

Spray-paint, rocks, and molotovs

Go to war, don the black camoflauge

Smash the chain stores

It’s economic sabotage
