Blackened Power
Serpents crawling in the streets
Beware their wrath when sirens screech
Decked out in protective gear
"Protect and serve" through force and fear
Prey on poor communities
With qualified immunities
To keep them out of justice's sights
When their actions come to light
Broken
Systems held in place
Public
Image falls in faith
Violent
Methods stir unease
Silence
The desert they call peace
Our time has come
We stand as one
Backward talks are proselytized
When the fox spreads toxic lies
And sell us out as crooks and thugs
Committing crimes and high on drugs
They paint themselves as colorblind
But pin the blame on colored guys
Media lies now propagate
As "entertainment" propped for hate
Traitors
For views they lie
Gators
And snakes in suit and tie
Twisted
Words distort the truth
Listen
They are deceiving you
Our time has come
We stand as one
It's time to strike (strike)
Enter the darkest hour
They played us for fools like pawns in a game
Stand up and fight (fight)
Behold the blackened power
No longer ruled under locks and their chains
One by one we lose our rights
As politicians bet with lives
The side that claims to make us great
Are servants to the fascist state
Our rights they claim they would defend
But burn the cross at both the ends
The other side would call their bluff
But never seem to do enough
Gaslight
Obstruction
Projection
Their roadmap to win
For every
Accusation
Is their own
Confession of sin
Our time has come
We stand as one
It's time to strike (strike)
Enter the darkest hour
They played us for fools like pawns in a game
Stand up and fight (fight)
Behold the blackened power
No longer ruled under locks and their chains
Beware their wrath when sirens screech
Decked out in protective gear
"Protect and serve" through force and fear
Prey on poor communities
With qualified immunities
To keep them out of justice's sights
When their actions come to light
Broken
Systems held in place
Public
Image falls in faith
Violent
Methods stir unease
Silence
The desert they call peace
Our time has come
We stand as one
Backward talks are proselytized
When the fox spreads toxic lies
And sell us out as crooks and thugs
Committing crimes and high on drugs
They paint themselves as colorblind
But pin the blame on colored guys
Media lies now propagate
As "entertainment" propped for hate
Traitors
For views they lie
Gators
And snakes in suit and tie
Twisted
Words distort the truth
Listen
They are deceiving you
Our time has come
We stand as one
It's time to strike (strike)
Enter the darkest hour
They played us for fools like pawns in a game
Stand up and fight (fight)
Behold the blackened power
No longer ruled under locks and their chains
One by one we lose our rights

Stand up and fight (fight)
Behold the blackened power
No longer ruled under locks and their chains
