lyrics

Big stacks
Watch the flames get higher
If I were bacon I'd be scared of the fire too
Fake news
Watch the president shake
As we get closer to the top of the gates
As we get closer to a life with fair wages
As we get closer to a life without cages
I won't stop until I'm dead or I'm caught
Won't have to worry bout my brother getting shot
Won't have to worry bout my brothers getting hung up
Won't have to worry about cutting y'all some slack
Won't have to worry bout the fall or the come up
Won't have to bite my tongue when y'all are being wack
Big Stack
Watch the flames get higher
If I were bacon I'd be scared of the fire too
Fake news
Watch the president shake
As we get closer to the top of the gates

Wake Up
Body and brain
Is your brain ready baby
Stop faking
sure we're afraid
And there's no shame
Still I feel ready for change
Tell me
What have we got to loose
Tell em we're owed our dues (be a hero)
And they're out of time
So wake up
Body and brain
We're on the move, look out

Give Back, give black
You're hired
I wish somebody'd fire ol you're fired
I wish somebody'd give the baby a bath
And wash the grime so he could see what he had
30 bil at 25 a year , thats wack
I could do a better job
And that's a fact jack
Tie him up
And then we'll take him out back
Said suicide
Don't give him slack it's do or die
Time to take over
Override the system
Time to take over
Look over shoulders or look in their eyes
I'm gleeful to witness their look of surprise
As we tear down the system the house of white ties
The system of murder and cold blood genocide
Over eager flies
Mouths full of black lies
I'd rather have a civil war than racist disguises

Wake Up
Body and brain
Is your brain ready baby
Stop faking
sure we're afraid
And there's no shame
Still I feel ready for change
Tell me
What have we got to loose
Tell em we're owed our dues (be a hero)
And they're out of time
So wake up
Body and brain
We're on the move, look out

Big stacks
Watch the flames get higher
If I were bacon I'd be scared of the fire too
Fake news
Watch the president shake
As we get closer to the top of the gates
As we get closer to a life with fair wages
As we get closer to a life without cages
I won't stop until I'm dead or I'm caught
Won't have to worry bout my brother getting shot
Won't have to worry bout my brothers getting hung up
Won't have to worry about cutting y'all some slack
Won't have to worry bout the fall or the come up
Won't have to bite my tongue when y'all are being wack
Big Stack
Watch the flames get higher
If I were bacon I'd be scared of the fire too
Fake news
Watch the president shake
As we get closer to the top of the gates
