This is a venting of a voice dissenting
Some say nothing’s wrong, well shit I say there’s plenty
For one…concept of ownerships a twisted joke
It’s used to control…such a screen of smoke
Cos we’ve never ever had true democracy
When centralised bureaucrats dictate poverty
Saying “Stay off of that land, it’s not your property!
“You gotta pay to exist cos life’s not for free”
But fuck that…it’s slavery, taxes too!
Got no control over what they’re directed to
Information asymmetry makes facts hidden see
Leading us astray to react differently
Cos when we know the full story, assert our rights
There’s no way we’ll be in our current plight
Been this way for ages, now it’s getting flagrant
Non compliance & subversion, let’s make it blatant
So start the commotion
I’m sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s a - take back - from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way they flex
So start the commotion
We’re sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s an all out take back from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way that they flex
Lets draw attention to this insurrection
Lots of false starts, shut down in detention
I take my hat off to those who’ve paved the way
The struggle hasn’t stopped and so we slave away
Making connections, activists god bless them
Taking stands for injustice, no concessions…
Cosmic shifts, energies undone
Tell me when is the time for us to overcome
And be one…
Ok it’s happening, at the fringes of the system
Outside, it’s alright, a new ways with them
Living through the heart, some say it’s a given
But from where I see it we’re still enmeshed
Manipulated & controlled till out of breath
So I write my words hoping my voice is heard
And when I find my tribe i’ll be as free as a bird
So start the commotion
We’re sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s a - take back - from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way they flex
So start the commotion
I’m sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s a…take back…
It’s the last time I make a song like this…because that which I resist persists…
Now that I’ve therapeutically released, I put my energy into the new story of peace
So many barriers to freedom, yo it’s hard to see them
Disinsentivized, but in the end we’ll beat them
Cos it’s all in the mind…and we’re no longer blind
Critical mass aint yet reached…but there’s still time
Cos love is universal…the one true thing
With love at our dispersal its what we bring
When we’re positive, that’s a gift
Essential ingredient of the paradigm shift
Our hearts beat deep, we’ll fix this rift
As long as we keep doing right we’ll uplift
Agorism…natural authority
We’re all sovereign people with autonomy
Self directed, self determined, we’re worth it
Breaking free from parasites and filthy vermin
I’m tired of preaching like a priest at a sermon
Just invoking change so god damn let’s birth it!
So start the commotion
We’re sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s an all out take back from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way that they flex
So start the commotion
We’re sick of coasting
Waiting for these padlocked doors to open
It’s a…take back from the apex
Exposing these hacks and the way that they flex
