Sit Dooown
shut up shut up
Sit down
Sit Dooown
shut up shut up
Now
x2
Listen to the sound
Listen to the voice
People never heard
Never had a choice
They talk to much
They never shut up
They talk to much
Time to listen up
Ive done the math
theres more of us to
all my people
feeling stuck
love us on the ground
always get up
skinny lil bit
thought you’d roll over
when we come together
transformer
stand so tall
shooting the shit
i got shit to shoot
I’ve been watching
all y’all
where you took
our loot
observing
think your cute
think your slick
eat a dick
that don’t work
suck on this
get it quick
pulling all that green
never pass shit
poor always carry the rich
we work for it
you greedy
exploitive
manipulate
youza cold bitch
scandalous
murderous
We stay warm as the sun
sun kissed
Run with us
raised fist
trying to resist
best you can
no more head in the sand
carry on tradition
fuck the man
by the man we meant the
corporate government
taught us all this
gangster shit
Sit dooown
shut up shut up
Sit down
Sit dooown
shut up shut up
Now
Listen to the sound
Who silenced our voice
Silenced for a reason
Ignored by choice
They talk to much
They never shut up
They talk to much
Time to listen up
They talk all that
They talk all this
But the poor stay poor
and the rich stay rich
Talk all that
make ya ears bleed
Talk all that
never get what ya need
Poverty created daily
no dignity
we angry and tired
placing blame where
it don’t need to be
they created
a violent society
we need to
punch up
punch up
we on some
they need us and shit
like they
trying to make us forget
we do all the work
all days always
we don’t need you
checkmate
its true .
we never hear our
point of view
our words we seek
talk all that
with their
butter ass teeth
yuck mouth
get no relief
let us live
let us breath
borrowing courage
from each other to speak
lean on you
lean on me
then we don’t
need that position
change with ease
the system
make it obsolete

Salt
In the daylight
salt
In the nightlight
salt
Salt in the wound
Light weight
but i stay heavy
small thing
but i say plenty
good from the get
saving them pennies
legs like spaghetti
set my watch 420
dream chaser
no paper
made mistakes
big eraser
learn from
kept on
moving
show and proven
all that salt
aint soothing
learn from the pain
don’t do the same
make a dirt lane and
clean your own shit
All come around
call it hoop
we stay in the bit
cause it loop
grassroots deeper
than we knew
come and feel
that truth come
down on you
Live for no man
we called it
find leaders
within ourselves
co operate with
each other
thats don’t leave your
friend behind and
be good to
your mother
indentured servants
slavery
power social control
our common humanity
never had a chance
it was already sold
ripped out the nest
egg ready to hatch
truth hurts
regurgitate
put it on plate
thats hard to digest
hard to take
truth hurts
dig deep
cold stares
slow creep
In the daylight
salt
In the nightlight
salt
Salt in the wound
dehumanized
staring at each other
licking them wounds
hungry motherfucker
thats hella sus
they need cheap hands
that need us
say its a hard time
to be alive
but i think its always been
when you standing below
other men
its always a crisis
we full of vices
fuckshit
in this state dreams fade.
drowning in class war
choking on jim crow
leaves us dying
in the street
overseer officer 5-0
our tragic stories
never out of reach
who believed the
words they preached
how long anger steeped
deep rooted
start digging
we all know
they been killing
look at the rez
look at the prison
look at the hood
look at the trailer
look at the system
look at the face
say the name
wheres the spark
all this salt
do we have the courage
to play it smart
radical struggle
empire
class and race
horse and cart
burn it down
john brown
abolition
was it between skin
or profits reaped off it
still succumbing to it
truth hurts
dig deep
cold stares
slow creep

I Believe In You

I believe
I believe in you x 4
I believe
I believe in you
we ourselves
I believe in you
we ourselves
I believe that we all need
someone to believe in us
I believe we’ve all been burned
so hard to trust
I believe that life is a pie
but some only get crumb
and them educated fools
they sure like to talk some
I believe im deadass with it
50 of us smoked out
in that civic
all stay livid
trying to get it
but we all we got
stuck in a cycle
that never stop
feed the fire
stir the pot
I believe in the people
and power to fight
we the only ones
cause we live this life
someone did you dirty
someone did you wrong
pain that you feel
wanna pass along
hurt people hurt people
bitter truth
we’ve been learning
since our youth
we from the time
of the pager
little bit of
now and later
mace and a taser
why most shit
won’t faze her
seen it before
heard even more
broken back
and all that
kept the soul sore
class war
I believe cause
the things I’ve seen
thru experience
not magazine
I believe cause the
things we dream
sweet thoughts
that are unseen
I believe cause the
things we do
Imagine then
we follow thru
Little bit of science
Little bit of hope
and all thats in between
I believe i aint gonna quit it
quit on you
we nuture different view
side of human nature
you feed
is what ll come thru
when you know better
do better
me myself and you
I believe in the
collective process
i believe those in power
will try and stop us
they like a fake pocket
something we really don’t need
i believe
that position obsolete
If we all do a little
we aint gotta do a lot
I believe we can unlearn
the shit we’d been taught
thats end a sickness
bad heath
I’m believe in you
till you believe in your self
i believe that we borrow
the earth
yo in case we forgot
they like to tell us they own her
they like to tell us alot
I believe that we all need
someone to believe in us
I believe we’ve all been burned
so its hard to trust
I believe that life is a pie
but some only get crumb
and them educated fools
they sure like to talk some
I believe in you x 4
I believe
I believe in you
we ourselves
I believe in you
we ourselves

Communication

Ive been talking for days
you still don’t know what i mean
Recognition
and it seems what we need
tell me about your story

we can build and bend
thats grow defend
in the hard times mend
maybe call you friend
what you wanna do
If you keep it true
If you keep it cool
then we fuck with you
This information
that i just received
Im gonna have to
think it through
thats check some facts
digest and stew
Gonna have to roll it over
think about it blazed
think about it sober
yo whats the intent
the concept
the context

no need to simplify
whats complex

Misunderstandings
happen everyday
and assumptions
can be deadly
im trying to be clear
with the things i say
we aint taught
to work it out
yo we taught to obey
misunderstood
misunderstand
standing under no man
thats the plan
looking for some advice
some act right
always stay in the
short sight
of the situation
Our insecurities
can get us acting crazy
dodging all your attitude
trying not to be petty
petty comes so easy
hoping that my patience
come and save me
empathy compassion
fly like eagle
except we people
care bear stare
shooting rainbows
from our fuckin belly
that shit is honey
sweetness
come and get with us
and thru this
end a sickness

Bad Mood
Lately Lately
Always in a bad bad mood
Lately Lately
Always got an attitude
Lately Lately
Always got a point to prove
Lately Lately
Always in a bad bad mood
So was it lately
or has it always been
since mama said
life ain’t fair
way back when
you better get
used to it
learn how
to move thru it
I could never
groove to it
seemed we always
lose to it
Gotta stay tough
hold that head up
don’t take shit
and always spread love
I cried for you
but tears don’t matter
just created more
sad songs to sing
maybe it was the rain
that help me see the
sunny day
maybe it was the pain
that helped me hide
the love away
Skipping along
this slow rot
eternal sadness
sweet spot
waking up to another day
what do you got
Ive been cussing
threw that yoga
finally feeling good pain
puffin on the green
since the age of thirteen
under night sun
day moon
fell in love with life
living for the good things
living like its full spring
pulling me through
kiss on the cheek
or glance from you
midnight glide
under the moon
had me feeling see thru
she said baby what it do
bad mood
Im in a funk I can not shake
whether sleep or i’m awake
sunshine should know
our name
good times should come
and play
cause these sad stories
all the time
leaves us fuckin
stagnant
no stimulation
no creation
we gotta make it worth it
find a little time
more than just survive
grow together
build each up
and try
Good friend good food
a little conversation
Good art good love
a little relaxation
this is real medicine
what laughter can do
we sick of always
being in a bad mood
Lately Lately
Always in a bad bad mood
Lately Lately
Look at me my face is screwed
Lately Lately
Angry as fuck its true
Lately Lately
Always in a bad bad mood
