Can't Kill the Dream
Big Brother, yo, you Big Blunder
Numbers on our heads, think we live under
Watchful eyes, like spies buzzin' round the hive
Cut the wire lies, we won't comply
Cameras in the skies, grill on my disguise
See through the guise, freedom's my prize
Packets intercepted, principles dissected
Can't clip the wings of ideas respected
Can't kill the dream, try to shackle what it seems
But freedom's in our genes, Big Brother
Can't kill the scheme, liberty is the beam
Can't muzzle these screams, won't smother
Satellite sentinels, ya chasin' phantoms
Homies in the shadows, chance 'em
Encrypted whispers, data drips off lips
Off the grid, dodgin' every glimpse
Surveillance state just a paper chase
Liberty unfased, in code it's placed
RFIDs and GPSes, but the spark in our quest ain't never restin'
Microphones in shoes, tracking more than news, yet we refuse
To let dreams impair, ideas up in the air, democracy declare
Can't kill the dream, try to shackle what it seems
But freedom's in our genes, Big Brother
Can't kill the scheme, liberty is the beam
Can't muzzle these screams, won't smother
Libraries of theft, censor intellect
Can't quantify, the thoughts you neglect
Mindfield, minefield, blow up the mapped yield
Encrypted shields our only yield
Politician puppet show, think you running the dough
But the people know
Smoke and mirrors, what you fear's
In the hearts of pioneers
Cameras on blast, surveillance grindin' steely
Big Brother's got an eye on every dealie, feel me?
Liberty under lock, chains on my thoughts
Cage bird singin' while the beast plots
Digital chains, screens showin' pain
Algorithm reign, playin' 'gainst my brain
Soul for sale in the byte of the night
Fahrenheit, burnin' ink under the light
Can't kill the spirit, America's flames
Ideas spreadin', not reined by chains
Freedom's echo in every single beat
Rise like thunder, can't crush the heat
Doublethink shrinks minds, binds sight
Newspeak cheatin', deletin' what's right
Plato's shadows dancin', twisted in reflection
Ignorance sanctioned in the name of protection
Oppressor's ploy, disguised with joy
Divide, deploy, real speech they destroy
Data shackle dreams, but we got schemes
Revolution brewin' in bytes and streams
Big Brother whisper schemes, but they hollow
Chasin' a dream, a code you can't swallow
Freedom's fever, smolderin' coal
Can't capture hearts, can't suppress the soul
Big brother, think you got control? Ha!
Foot on our necks, but we won't fold, nah!
Cameras creepin', tryna see my soul
But this dream you can't patrol, bold!
Ideas like wildfire, harder to tame
In your wildest schemes, you'll feel the shame
Freedom rings louder than your game
Chains can't hold what burns aflame, aim!
You can't kill the idea, it's alive in the air
Land of the brave, we ain't living in fear
Red, white, blue, ink in the veins
Can't snuff out the light, it's too insane!
Whispers in the dark, touch screen fables
Eyes on the prize, truth on the table
Unseen hands, pulling the cables
But we the people ain't caught in your stables, able!
History etched in sweat, tears, defiance
Legacy ingrained, a nation of giants
Behind the veil, truth still dances
In the hearts of many, takes no chances!
McCarthy back again, screamin' witch hunt
But we rising up where you ain't got no front
Voices echo, power through the strut
Done with the lies, calling your bluff, blunt!
Oppressor's ploy, disguised with joy
Divide, deploy, real speech they destroy
Data shackle dreams, but we got schemes
Revolution brewin' in bytes and streams
Big Brother whisper schemes, but they hollow
Chasin' a dream, a code you can't swallow
Freedom's fever, smolderin' coal
Can't capture hearts, can't suppress the soul
Big brother, think you got control? Ha!
Foot on our necks, but we won't fold, nah!
Cameras creepin', tryna see my soul
But this dream you can't patrol, bold!
Ideas like wildfire, harder to tame
In your wildest schemes, you'll feel the shame
Freedom rings louder than your game
Chains can't hold what burns aflame, aim!
You can't kill the idea, it's alive in the air
