I see a young girl battle power and suppression
Fixed gaze strong will forged in hostility
Seeds of doubt plant from cultural rhymes and regressions
Taught to submit to inequity
Idolise prophets of R and SH
Tribal underassessment of SA
We idolise prophets of R and harassment
We buy products of R and harassment
Swallow the pill
Swallow the pill
Swallow the pill
That alters your mind
We won’t swallow the pill
That alters our minds
Swallow the pill
That alters your mind
We won’t swallow the pill
That alters our minds
Cycle abuse
Protect the patriarchy
Cycle abuse
Protect the patriarchy
Cycle abuse
Protect the patriarchy
Get your claws off my daughter
Fuck your patriarchy
Swallow the pill
Swallow the pill
Swallow the pill
That alters your mind
We won’t swallow the pill
That alters our minds
Swallow the pill
That alters your mind
We won’t swallow the pill
That alters our minds
Never bow
Never submit
Never bow
Never submit
Never bow
Never submit
You are power
Stand and take what is yours

Cognitive Dissonance

This is unsustainable practice
It’s time to wake and see the sentient annihilation
Dissonant is the thought that meets the action
The brain equates the taste of flesh of immorality
We’ve constructed a system of mass incarceration
A system effectively masking the abuse and torture of sentient beings
80 billion animals are slaughtered each year for our consumption
80 percent of land
A third of the earth's surface
All for less than 10% of our total calories
Ammonia fumes fill the air and blind the eyes
The weight of accelerated growth exceeds the strength to stand
Slaughtered forty-seven days into existence
Stacked into a gas chamber or razor to the throat
I ate this animal to the bone
Conditioned to see no wrong
I couldn’t see my actions in the blood
Lie to myself in opposition to the truth
Wake up

To serve the interests of the bourgeoisie
Feeding the profits of the corporate state
To those in office with flames of the cross
To those in forces with flames on their crosses
Built on greed, theft, and genocide
Build on the foundations of looting and slavery
To extinguish the culture and murder the diaspora
To extinguish the culture and murder the diaspora
We sing their names so we don't forget
We feel their memories coursing through our chests
Disguise the anguish behind the badge and a gun
Impune the murderer state sanctioned killing unsummed
Once stared into death row now see the faces of innocence
The faces of the fractured and fractious now seem less villainous
Underneath the mask we see their uniform
Take off the mask and see their uniform
Homicide
We scream Cris Kaba, Mark Duggan, Jean Charles

Remnant

I’ve got a bone to pick with capitalism
The culture commodified and advertised your existence
The TV says your face doesn’t look quite right
Identity advertised for the fruits of your labour
Extract life as a resource from an ill population
Hold the trigger and the cure, the foundations of stability
Stare at the bottom
Endless growth and expansion collapsing
Witness the fall
Consumed by consumption we’ve reached the remnants
When life is second to growth we reach a compromise between profit and sustainability
We use language such as “make money”, when the wealthy only take
Profit and exploitation are essential in a capitalist society as one inevitably leads to the other
The foundations of our systems are based on division to allow for our labour and obedience to be rewarded with a fraction of our basic human needs
While the bourgeoisie maintain overall control
These are the remnants of the industrial revolution
We are all a part of the system
We are all accountable
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism
There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism

Two souls aligned
Can only realise
The true meaning of time
A poison of the lungs
One half of the fate of collapse
A declined state of mind
A life spent in lesson
The currency of time
Holds any value inside
Sat amidst the final gasps of breath
As death extinguishes life
The future wanes to dark
Illumine the past
The heart and soul of memory
A motioned hands of time
Death begets the life formed inside those blue eyes
I stare into the window of your soul
In this time I feel the present moment
The gaze of newborn sight
Existence defined
Wherever you go I’ll follow
The earth is so cold
It holds what remains of your bodies
What remains of your existence
The years will unfold
The warmth of your memory
Will cast out the path
And define my mortality
The future wanes to dark
Illumine the past
The heart and soul of memory
A motioned hands of time
Death begets the life formed
Inside those blue eyes
I stare into the window of your soul
In this time I feel the present
The gaze of newborn sight
Existence defined
Wherever you go I will follow

We cannot breathe, we cannot think
We can’t comprehend the weight
Our colonial ghosts dictate the lives of the present
And inform policy
Racial profiling pseudoscience creates a backdrop of inequality
Whilst class divides and legislation prevents social mobility
Inside the violence
At the white hands of the state
Incite the bias
Then distance yourself from the flames
White doctrine of eurocentric heroism
Keeps the curriculum from broadening minds
Feed the whiteness as a source of supremacy
As the ink dries on xenophobic lies
The think tanks in power have their actions refined
The flames to stoke at the camps
Within the borders grows a sense of disparity
Subvert the blame from the banks
I can’t fucking breathe
Whilst the MET shoot and kill one more black man
Kicked in the head whilst laid handcuffed on the ground
Whilst these pigs stop and strip search a child in school
Whilst these pigs stop and strip search these children in schools
History injects its white toxins into the mind
Built with the profits of slavery and genocide, remember their names
Child Q
Chris Kaba
Awaab Ashak
Dea-John Reid
We built this land off the profits of their ancestors lives
We built this land off their ancestors lives
Black lives still matter
Black lives still matter
Black lives still matter
Your life still matters
