haiku - #fightback lyrics

intro
heroes or villains
call us whatever you want
we’ve got to fight back

(yea) no longer victims of the system. ready to rise against them. there’s no task greater
they blast at us first, and questions they don’t ask later
flames from the molotovs represent our past anger
feels like a holocaust ever since they g-ssed chambers
and papers asking what’s the reason for the backlash
maybe ‘cause they turned our backyards into baghdad
no more fake smile. my camouflage is a gas mask
and i ain’t trying to be just another name behind a hashtag
back with a brand new mentality since my dad p-ssed
here on out my flag stands forever at half-staff
all this racial tension, but who gets the last laugh
when they cover us in white sheets and zip us up in black bags
better recognize politicians telling h-lla lies
never surprised. you can see it through helen keller’s eyes
police extra weaponized, but the soul of a rebel never dies
the revolution won’t be televised

chorus
mike brown means: we’ve got to fight back
mike brown means: we’ve got to fight back
mike brown means: we’ve got to fight back
mike brown means: we’ve got to fight back
yea! fight back: fight back
fight back: fight back
fight back: fight back
fight back: fight back
fight back: fight back
fight back: fight back
fight back: fight back
fight back: fight back

you can tell by the red in our eyes we’re ready to ride
‘cause we’re tired of being hunted, wanted dead or alive
we can’t forget the way our ancestors met their demise
trying to fight for the respect they’ve been forever denied
too many sheep following wolves in a shepherd’s disguise
if they ever severed the ties they would never survive
‘cause there’s so much you don’t see. went 4 months with no sleep
got no trust for police. it’s no justice, no peace
born to be prophets, but all they see if profit
only want to acknowledge us as carc-sses and convicts
feeding us these articles that target our subconscious
and radios only play the artists spitting nonsense
land of the free, but no one ever reads the fine print
baptized in bedlam, crucified in conflict
‘til one day we held up our fists. had the cops p-ssed
turned the city to a mosh pit and haven’t stopped since

[repeat chorus]

i said you can’t stop the revolution: you can’t stop the revolution
you can’t stop the revolution: you can’t stop the revolution
i said you can’t stop the revolution: you can’t stop the revolution
i said you can’t stop the revolution: you can’t stop the revolution

so will i be just another slain in the tyranny
or maybe eventually we’ll claim this a victory
i’m scribbling, filling in the pages of history
making sure his name doesn’t fade from our memory
silly me, wasting my energy on faceless ident-ties
enemies invading my twitter feed
but really they’re just craving some fame and publicity
maliciously, making up outrageous conspiracies
like i’ve got ties to illuminati or anonymous
the fbi sponsored this, ground zero did not exist
and i was just some sort of instrument of apocalypse
or plotting world dominance. all that’s preposterous
for every injustice, expect a global response
‘cause there’s a lot of us. solidarity across the continents
they set us up to be the opposite of prosperous
so what’s a broken window to 100 broken promises?

[repeat chorus]
