And it's paper that causes us to live in fear As we document atrocities seized property here Natives chased off land and the government ignores Complacence with erasing in the hand is pen mightier than sword Miners raping the girls and murdering minors or do both it's sickening To the tribes whose lives are entwined with the land but no one is listening Deforestation and mercury murdering as a product of gold mining And now through covid neglect the government is genociding The NSA spied on dilma The DOJ aided operation carwash Bolsonaro meets with the cia Now the USA has a new rocket base Joints degrade bones just grind Stagnant raise if it rises or falls I don't give a fuck bout the line Line you up against the wall Don't shoot jam session touch base not grass wipes Induced recession through interest rate hikes Billy Brag with the club getting cracked by nightsticks We in drag with the slugs at your back like icepicks We all starve for your yacht ill switch tracks on the trolley Going hard knees are shot i'll hit back like im dolly That is the mission find a purpose for this contest Capitalism doesn't even work even as a concept All potential I see for happiness is under a shroud of evil And so I need for horrible things to happen to powerful people Back to take it back to the eighteen hundreds and get your wig split kid Slap the hood of the wood chipper this thing can fit so many neolibs in it One of these days you'll fuck around and find out i said you gon get No sense like the rhymes that you spit unintelligible school lunch debt No lie imma treat em like they treat teens and straight bust ancaps If another one gets on the internet and tells me to touch grass Inflation doesn't match our cost of living Take a match to the free market system Wages stay stagnant pay cuts to our wrists Do I die if i can't afford the cost to live Inflation doesn't match our cost of living Take a match to the free market system Do I die if i can't afford the cost to live We are disconnected and seek to impress with the way that we live Through social media materialism is the end result of analysis We are all screaming into the void no chance for us to listen Everything becomes performative even our activism Trained to converse with each other from a place of hate All conflict is rehearsed live laugh love liberate Choked out every day by the invisible hands of the market And so we scroll unto our doom we're too defeated to start shit And so we go on in isolation we can't form networks for revelations Revolution starts from unions Communication failure will spell our dooming Choked out every day by the invisible hands of the market And so we scroll unto our doom we;re too defeated to start shit We are all screaming into the void no chance for us to listen Everything becomes performative even our activism They will kill all of us off They don't need us to profit off Everything's automated you will see there's no need for more bodies Identity based society leads us to perpetual conflict Discussing our differences as opposed to what we agree on its A forced state of division and so we can't unite Commodification of each aspect of life Denying abortion to perpetuate the workforce We would demand it if we could implore more But the price gouging planet destroying fossil fuel ghouls Keep us commenting instead of rioting we scroll and drool If we weren't so obsessed with the opinions of others We will go extinct unless we stop division and love each other We will all die If we let them Kill us off They no longer need us to profit off They can just print more money Everything's automated no more bodies They'll jail dissent you'll be a slave 13th amendment slavery never went away If we all posture and don't admit that we feel l pain regularly We are all gonna start cracking and one day soon there will be no leftover police We must move away from the power dynamics inherent to hierarchy Instead relate to each other in a way that focuses on our well being They're not zeros they're people Make space don't go there Jeff bezos dr evil Earth erased can't grow hair I implore that you act more direct action you can't ask more Culture war distract you from the class war You are not onyx practice vulnerability Just be honest share your intentions and needs When you're transparent about collective capacity Problem solving comes with ease This new fucked system feeds off of our increased isolation With others on our side we can handle situations Affinity thrives through forming new connections Synchronicity through mapping of the future Celebrate our small victories Overemphasizing scale leads to burnout Every day is a struggle for me Keep your web tight no doubt We already have the networks in place White supremacy can be erased If we talk about societies collapse We will survive perhaps But we need to support each other We are all comrades friends and lovers When self care is limited to individual responsibility it encourages silence Will you accumulate trauma or risk something To confront the forms of power We've been coerced to depend upon Create a liminal space where power dynamics are erased preventing preventing forms of abuse We risk isolation when we allow our differences to obscure the possibilities We are capable of creating when we operate collectively Patriarchal power is based on exemption from humanity It is taking pride in emotional skills that are unsatisfactory We're asking you to do anything not even do better Lip service paid without undergoing the task kiley jenner Become healers through relational work Cis het male identity is tied in with social capital enforced by implied force The possibility of losing it frightens most men into complacency Probably why they want more fictitious capital and came they up w nfts Betray your gendered personality Exercise patience and hold the space for others Silence can be exploited Silencing is a form of power Used as an opportunity to interject Emotions are viewed as unimportant The goal is for us to reach mutual understanding

Earth is a finite resource From which all capital is borne Degradation From exploitation Financial productivity is converse to sustainability The world has progressed past the need for Europe But Europe has not progressed past the need for the world The land from which joy is derived Has been starved exploited nutrient deprived Rare earth metals extracted Communal society split to factions Economists tell us its due to cheap labor But what they won't admit is what they savor Ironically started as guano for soil replenishment Now resource extraction is a global system Six thousand gallons to extract one batteries lithium African children dying for cobalt I blame musk it's all his fault The World Bank and IMF make all decisions And thus hold all of the power in bargaining The World Trade Organization, use their power as creditors To dictate economics in nations that are debtor They control 97 percent of the world's patents Poor countries are structurally dependent on foreign investment Have no choice but to compete with one another To offer cheap labor and resources in order To please the barons of international finance For every dollar in international aid Fourteen dollars are then drained For there is no such thing as equal exchange There is no such thing as fair world trade Poverty induced under-consumption leads towards panicked over production Fund imperialism for new markets to maintain function Power is asserted diving the world And strengthening imaginary boundaries Securing flow of trade and limiting labor mobility This enables profit extracts without equal labor and goods exchange And so the world systems collapse with workers left starved and soon deranged Neo liberalism funding fascists coups Resource rich countries plundered for their loot Ending ecological systems as excuse For poverty and starving youth which they induce Farmers can not survive and move to urban zones Manufacturing pollutes proximal to their homes Weak infrastructure promotes catastrophe And so they leave to not be casualties Head for places with jobs ironically The same places that installed the fascist regimes Imperialism prevents collectivism And in turn collapses communities Creating climate change refugees New slave labor to sustain the economy And so the global north goes and rapes the global south Rip apart families That can't sustain themselves in face of drought And so the adults leave their children With their survival in doubt And our leaders have the goddamn nerve to tell them to get out Deep rooted trees release dew through leaves Trees are felled for crops for animal feed Positive feedback less water circulated Desert forms as all water is evaporated Keep America beautiful invented by coke Shoving propaganda down American throats Blaming pollution on the acts of consumers While producers are the real polluters Carbon footprint invented by BP The fossil fueled society from which the benefit financially Sacrificing future generations preventing sustainability With promise of possible wealth we accept responsibility Ultra rich perpetuate pollution from jets and yachts that are fueled with your obedience Public luxuries will annihilate a system to which we do not consent We are working for health insurance But when we're injured there's no assurance That we will get workman's comp On our necks the bosses stomp Exposure to risky situations Who is getting hazard pay in this nation Exposure to hazardous chemicals Exposure limits unscheduled Afraid to report to NLRB OSHA violations all around me Pizza party is all they're giving us While their neglect is nearly killing us How am i supposed to take time off If the chemicals I'm exposed to cause me to cough And my sick bank is tied into my PTO And on vacations the only place i want to I get watched while i punch the clock I get watched while i punch the clock I can't, take a day without losing pay We're short staffed this shit that i endure In a single shift would make me quit If there was a way for me to live The organic certification belongs to the multinational refineries Which use farmers to subsidize demand globally Instead of growth that protects our biodiversity They use factory farm manure laced with with antibiotics fertilizer for the cheap Indigenous communities who do not hold deeds See corporations take their land when the titles seized They clear the forest growing palm oil with no rules Just to turn it into sustainable bio-fuels With the forests cleared there's no water table Rivers flood for the basin is unable To hold water so the crops then all drown Ecology collapses its all a desert now So the people flee to cities in search of greener pastures Unknowing that the streets Have been polluted by manufacturers And so they get sick without insurance Applied to USCIS no avail 13th amendment slavery continues within the jails Man has returned to the cave Now by light he is blinded Advertising useless goods Keeps the gears still grinding In the workers soul There exists a gaping hole In search of fresh air They have induced despair In the name of prevention Of unionization For what they fear is our angered unity We will keep searching for what we need Disconnected from reality Touch grass and breathe We can barely endure it count days till we're paid We are working for our health insurance Waiting until the day we get medicaid By then it's too late for our work has sealed our fate Exposure to the carcinogens Only for the health benefits They are in the pockets of the lobbyists They cause it while acting as apologists If our country isn't run by the credit card corporations Why is everyone in debt based enslavement Humans don't need incentive to keep on and working But our despair is just the source of their endless earnings

Your gun racks filled scantily you be wayne campbell They're testing our collective sanity divided and scrambled Setting conflict through culture so we ignore class Zuckerberg is a vulture society will inevitably collapse They're keeping us divided to ensure all our silence Because when we are united the only answer is violence So I'm getting in my time machine and going back to the eighties I'll find the man who schemed make his blood trickle till there's Nothing left to bleed Dig up the corpse of ronald reagan and hit him with the reagent Reanimate that shit and then use a shovel break his face in Life on the line for the line to rise Stonks are a joke until we're are sent to die Bout to get physical With you linkedin liberals Middle management always up my ass Cyclically like the market i crash Capitalism's single handedly responsible for the planet burning My only goal is to get ronnie in his grave turning Dig up regans corpse hit him with reagent Reanimate that shit and then use a shovel break his face in Herbert west going after ronnie as dr hill Stab him in the chest with a grid needle so he's slaughter killed Pull up and kidnap steven crowder Make him eat his own semen chowder I will never forgive drake for what he did to rap Put him in the grave awake for a night terror dirt nap Charles dexter ward strangle fox and friends with a mic cord Knife from the throat to the body with the ghost of paul giamatti John maus at the white house Put him in the trap wearing nothing but a blouse Make him kiss ariel pink in the brown stink Any retrofuturism that isn't negative Is white supremacist mental sedatives Charles dexter ward strangle fox and friends with a mic cord Knife from the throat to the body with the ghost of paul giamatti Chuck rhoades going after your billions And you know fred claus giving coal to the villains Kidnap neil young Have him stare down my gun I'm glad ian curtis is dead Wish it was a bullet in his head Kanye West made the best album of all time But he can catch one without a vest from an eight or nine Treat Kate like George Bush Send em to Guantanamo bay Bum rush rush till Neil Peart hurts Go driller killer on Skrewdriver Shank sham 69 69 times When i see The Jam my gun won't Kidnap Morgan Wallen have him for his mother calling Put Phil Anselmo in Times Square as Elmo Take your pizza party and give me my stolen labor back Have you read Sutter Caine obituary paperback You Darwin with the competition im Kropotkin on a mission I'm Sankara with the stratocaster Fedoras I use gat to blast ya Grind cop bones to the core I am Pig Destroyer The only god cop to exist was Chris Dorner ACAB those pigs deserve rabies 1312 cops are just swine flu Turn atomwaffen into bluewaffle Turn the proud boys into a shameful brothel 40 percent of cops beat their wives There's no such thing as a blue lives All cops are traitors to class fuck a PBA Blue lives get the empty bladder I'm Eric Andre You're making dumb ass reddit comments without a motive for profit We aint gon be starving we gon turn you into sausage I been the hundred millionth victim of capitalism But i'm bout to use a strap like a strap on make you finna listen Yellow michael parenti yelling at you from the podium Alt right teens just seethe tolerant to copium Make marjorie taylor greene take the vaccine Bite off the head of rick desantis like a female praying mantis Cops and klan go hand in hand They should hang ill bring the rope What is the systems plan Except to just snuff out hope Identity europa bout to replaced There's nothing great about the white race Born an anarkid america turned me into a tank How many dreams died in parking lots of banks
