Riot (feat. M.I.C.)

I'm clued in to the curse I was stuck with
But truth is I got a thirst for destruction
Watchin' the world burn and I'm lovin' it
My brothers quick to turn on the government
White, black, Democrat or Republican
It's us against the authority of state oppressors
Formed a covenant, the majority obey the lectures
I ain't got this mask on as a safety measure
So let the riots commence
They're violence obsessed, sendin' petty tyrants to death
They're tryin' their best to keep us divided and stressed
Left or right, the paradigm is a mess; keep your eyes on the press
Be mindful of the lies you ingest
I never put stock in shit the media said
An armed populace is always seen as a threat
You been lickin' their boots with a knee on ya neck
Never seein' respect; fuck 12, no ambiguity
We've been dyin' in the streets while they grant immunity
To police that terrorize black communities
They wanna cancel you, makin' plans to ruin me
But I ain't losin sleep, you sheep won't Roseanne me
I don't even fuckin tweet, bitch; so don't at me
For justice, treatin' strangers like my own family
And I'll ride for the cause till they toetag me

Yeah, there's a riot in the streets
Tell me where you were when they were dyin' in the streets
Yeah, they never tried to keep the peace
Tell me where to turn when the violence hits its peak

Yeah, there's a riot in the streets
Tell me where you were when they were dyin' in the streets
Yeah, they never tried to keep the peace
Tell me where to turn when we're hidin' from police

Silence, I think I need some peace and quiet
You can't even go into public no more without police and sirens
And in these streets are violent, 'cause they can't cease the riots
I think I'll get online right now and Google the cheapest island
And buy it, and say goodbye to Trump and peace to Biden
You think I'm antisocial now; well, now at least there's silence
And I keep talkin' to myself; but ay, it beats the lyin'
You keep pushin' these little people, they'll release the giants
It's a science, so pay attention, listen
This is worse than Bush pushin' buttons, worse than Nixon snitchin'
What's the difference? Our life is on the line, so it's a mission
Can't let 'em throw me off my goals, can't let 'em twist my vision
You wanna make a difference, then go vote
Even if it means you gotta walk to them polls
And I know the world can be just so cold
But I'd rather have false hope than be one that never spoke

Yeah, there's a riot in the streets
Tell me where you were when they were dyin' in the streets
Yeah, they never tried to keep the peace
Tell me where to turn when the violence hits its peak

Yeah, there's a riot in the streets
Tell me where you were when they were dyin' in the streets
Yeah, they never tried to keep the peace
Tell me where to turn when we're hidin' from police
