New track for OCT featuring my friends Eugenius, Gene Priest, and Jed Johnson

lyrics

-No Justice No Peace-

7 shots to the back what a fuckin coward...
Fuck the cops fuck the system that gives them the power
To paralyze, murder, lynch all over that thin blue line
Cause white supremacy has got your back every fuckin time
Oh now you’re crying that you want some motherfucking peace?
What were you saying back when folks were screaming ‘i can’t breathe’?
You had some peace back when Kap took a fuckin knee
Now you got riots cause you didn’t listen peacefully

No justice no peace

Did I come on too strong?
I ain’t sorry
Cause I ain’t side stepping all of these black bodies buried under god, flag, and law enforcement power lobbies
I came to fight and imma tell somebody
Imma race traitor, statue tipper, don’t give a fuck full on antifascist agitator
The old systems must fall to find a new solution
Ain’t just an ally I’m an accomplice to the revolution

no heroes here, only cowards
the corrupt cling to their power
adding bodies every hour
to a pile so high, it towers
over who they claim to serve
the shadow conceals the curse
of the racist in the ranks
painted as saviours and saints
a reign in blood of those they slay
with streets now forever stained
that will never wash away
black psyches now bare the pain
murder being funded with their taxes
brown skin being used as target practice
there only crime is blackness
putting bullets in my back
with your weight upon my neck
and continue getting checks
you get all the disrespect

for all the ones we lost may they rest in peace
for all the ones that we dying in the street
for all the ones we lost may they rest in peace
we won't let them breathe we won't let them sleep
