We're All Gonna Die

oh we're all gonna die
untimely deaths
oh we're all gonna die
and you should be stressed
with the waters risin high
and the fires in the sky
we're all gonna die
oh we're all gonna fry
under the sun
oh we're all gonna fry
for what they've done
they've ignored the cries for help
now the world has gone to hell
we're all gonna die
oh we're all gonna die
untimely deaths
oh we're all gonna die
and you should be stressed
with the waters risin high
and the fires in the sky
we're all gonna die
oh I wanna know why
it turned out like this
oh I wanna know why
but I'll just get pissed
corporate interest fucked us all
now our backs against the wall
we're all gonna die
oh we're all gonna die
untimely deaths
oh we're all gonna die
and you should be stressed
with the waters risin high
and the fires in the sky
fascists run the country
out and proud with no disguise
covid's in the air
and the cops militarized
I don't see a way out and we're running out of time
we're all gonna die

Big Gun

tonight I watched the police precinct go up in flames
I’ve never seen anything like it in all of my days
the city is on fire and the people are in pain
and for better or for worse things will never be the same
light skinned nigga with a big gun
swear i ain’t tryna use it but i won’t run
rather put seeds in the ground than a loved one
grow a garden feed the block and pass that love on
but everyday we out here living in a war zone
can’t grow food when the soil’s full of poison
can’t find peace when you can’t even turn your lights on
and you can’t breathe when your neck is being knelt on
so don’t talk to me about no buildings being burnt down
don’t talk to me about no buildings being burnt down
from the ashes we gon build a better world now
and until then i ain’t gonna put my gun down
in my house we don’t pray for change
i tried to talk to god once but he must be out of range
now we make it on our own out here every single day
from our birth to our death hell even from the grave
if someone know your name then you still makin’ waves
and i hope you niggas swim cause on my mama i ain’t playin’
it’s not about money and it’s not about fame
it’s not about an image and it’s not about a name
it’s about me sayin what i feel i gotta say and puttin down this weight that i carry everyday
cause lately im so tired i can’t even stand up straight
so god if you listening’ would you hit me back some day

Midnight

I'm bitter and angry again
born into a system I cannot defend
why do we live like this
putting faith into a dollar
well I'm tired of being fucking fed up
of these prissy rich assholes
who can't get enough
they lie and extort and then make us think that its our fault
that we don't have no real food to eat
been filling on ramen for three lousy weeks
while Bezos takes off in his jet
laughing at all of us
now I know
this system's got to go
so go rob a bank
slash a cops car tires after midnight
how low
will we let ourselves go
before we fight back
slash a cops care tires after midnight
now I'm tired of hearing about crime
it's the same old story most of the time
it's always someone trying to find
their way out of poverty
and I wonder if it'd be the same
if we had in place a maximum wage
and stop letting people like Elon and Gates hoard the money
now I know
this system's got to go
so go rob a bank
slash a cops car tires after midnight
how low
will we let ourselves go
before we fight back
slash a cops care tires after midnight
now I know
this system's got to go
so go rob a bank
slash a cops car tires after midnight
go rob a bank
slash a cops car tires after midnight
go rob a bank
slash a cops car tires after midnight

Who Will I Hold
03:46

who will i hold
when the house is burning down
like the forest all around us
and the ocean puts it out
when that time comes i wanna know
who will i hold
who will i hold
when the water is full of poison
and that poison’s worth more than gold
and our lives ain’t worth anything no more
when that time comes i wanna know
who will i hold
will i have chased away everyone who showed me love
or already died in shame for the things that I have done
will i have changed will i be a better son
i just hope im still with you when the flood comes
who will i hold
when the house is burning down
like the forest all around us
and the ocean puts it out
when that time comes i wanna know
who will i hold
who will i hold
when the water is full of poison
and that poison’s worth more than gold
and our lives ain’t worth anything no more
when that time comes i wanna know
who will i hold

Hard Times & The Truth
03:10
|
|

it’s always been hard times
there’s nothin that’s new
most people die never knowin what’s true
we spend our whole lives just lookin to prove
that there’s some sort of merit to the shit that we do
like workin from sunrise to supper each day
to make that minimum wage rate of pay
and then in the night time under the moon
we rest our tired bones in hopes of feeling renewed
while dreaming of futures sweeter than now
like fruit grown from the ashes of an empire that fell
like fruit grown from the ashes of an empire that fell
it’s always been hard times
there’s nothing that’s new
but don’t let that truth take your own truth from you
we spend our whole lives doing the best we can do
with the cards that we were dealt in a time that feels cruel
where pain it runs rampant for most while the few
with the money and power try to tell us what to do
hope almost seems lost but then out of the dark
a raging fire grows from a spark
as its warmth and its light give us strength for the fight
together we’ll see our way through these hard times
together we’ll see our way through these hard times
