I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library

Line up to tha mind cemetery now

What we don’t know keeps tha contracts alive and movin’

They don’t gotta burn tha books they just remove ’em

While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells

Rally round tha family, pockets full of shells

The present curriculum, I put my fist in 'em

Eurocentric, every last one of 'em

See right through the red, white, and blue disguise

With lecture I puncture the structure of lies

Installed in our minds and attempting to hold us back

We've got to take it back
Knowledge is power…

And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control)
And now you do what they told ya

And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control)
And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control)

Vultures robbin' everything
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point on the 🌎
Tha 📸 tha same
Theres a 🏦, theres a ⛪️, a myth and a hearse
A mall and a loan, a child dead at birth
Theres a widow pig parrot
A rebel to tame
A whitehooded judge
A syringe and a vein
*And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard*
Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of the UHC CEO, left a 4-star review of the Unabomber's manifesto: "When all other forms of communication fail, violence is necessary to survive. You may not like his methods, but to see things from his perspective, it's not terrorism, it's war and revolution."

Here is something you can't understand ... how I could just kill a man!
this only suggests to me that everyone needs to keep being meaner to those in power. the wealthy elite need to be scared

Some of those that work forces ... are the same that burn crosses.

Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you, my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
This morning's headlines.

Compare; contrast.

They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the nine, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And motherfuckers lost their minds
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say, "Jump", you say, "How high?"
there's a massive, open conspiracy to turn old white guys into unhinged spree killers and we're all just supposed to shrug and call it "the marketplace of ideas" or whatever
Infuriating new details from prosecutors about the man who fatally stabbed a Palestinian-American 6-yr old. His wife told detectives he had been listening to conservative talk radio, and was worried about the fake "national day of jihad" spawned by right-wing propagandists.

Yes, I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity
Assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy
Brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
This quote has kind of rewired the way I see stuff happening

Empty ya pockets, son, they got you thinkin' that
What ya need is what they selling
Make you think that buying is rebelling
From the theaters to malls on every shore
The thin line between entertainment and war

With this mic device
I spit nonfiction
Who got tha power
This be my question
Tha mass of tha few in this torn nation?
Tha priest tha book or tha congregation?
Tha politricks who rob and hold down your zone?
Or those who give tha thieves tha key to their homes?
Why? Did he steal his own identity?
