I like to be alone, But I don't really wanna be alone. I have caused my fair share of Head on collisions. I’ve got regrets and shame, Made mistakes that have caused some pain. But lately I prefer, much wiser decisions.
Oh, Whyyyy do we even try? I wanted you, when I wanted you, and I-yiyiiyi don't even know why, I wanted you, when I wanted 2 B Luvd! 2 B Luved. 2 B Luved. I wanted to be…

My Privilege
02:58

Made it out all alone, yeah i did it on my own. put my nose to the grindstone, pulled my bootstraps up to my throat. I tried hard and I'm alright, ya know its rough when you are white. When you’re a guy, you can’t get no help. No one to thank except myself and my privilege.
It's my privilege.
Civil rights were great, but that came and went now that we’ve had a black president. Yeah, I guess some people still have it rough, but maybe they didn’t try hard enough. I’ve had some help, in small amount, from my mom and dad’s bank account. But, I have struggled to get respect, so please don’t make me check my privilege. It's my privilege.

Your ideology becomes a joke when you worship a dead white guy that wrote a book, and I’ve never seen your boots on the ground. You like to talk shit, and that’s it
You call me comrade at the bar, but where are you when shit gets hard? You wear a red star, but I know who you are. You’re a Whaktivist, and that’s it!
It's sad cause you used to be my friend. I used to have respect for you and then you made me think again...But, hey, man-it’s okay. sometimes you gotta drop that dead weight. Shake them haters off that never did nuthin anyway....never!
Your politics are out of touch, so its amazing to me that you talk so much and all I want to say is you can all go kiss my sweet little ass! Your critique is shit, and that's it!
It's sad cause you used to be my friend. I used to have respect for you and then you made me think again...But, hey, man-it’s okay. sometimes you gotta drop that dead weight. Shake them haters off that never did nuthin anyway....never!
You’re a Whaktivist, talk talk talking some shit!
You’re a Whaktivist, You really ain't worth the spit!
You’re a Whaktivist, so eat shit!

Black Lives Matter
Out in the street beyond the media chatter, you can hear the youth screaming Black lives Matter. Windows shatter. Black blood splatters. Teargas, M-WRAPS, people scatter....For once in my life, I wanted to do something bigger than myself. Everyone dreams the Amerikkkan dream. get off the shelf, get into the streets.
Black lives matter.
Black lives matter.
A white structure, built on black bodies. Slavery perfected through commodities. cops in your head, they want you dead. time for solidarity...
For once in our life, we realized we can’t breathe with the system’s boot pressed into our neck. Mike Brown, Tamir Rice, Beonna Taylor, Duanna Johnson, Darrius Stewart, George Floyd. Who’s next? You...
Black lives matter.
Black lives matter.
Black lives matter.

Burn Down Beale Street

Knocked out by the Memphis heat. Another human being sleeping on concrete, and it makes me wanna Burn Down Beale Street. It makes me wanna Burn Down Beale Street. We all live our lives. Some of us have to fite to survive but, what are you living for? You might not know it man, but this is a war.
I’m walking in Memphis and I know how I feel. I saw the ghost of Elvis, he was begging for a meal. I’ll take a molotov cocktail over neon lights, and Burn Down Beale Street. Burn Down Beale Street. Burn Down Beale Street, tonight!
All these goddamn developers and corporations, well, they aint done shit with the money we gave em’ and the city says there’s a crisis. Well, I could show em a crisis. Downtown on a friday night, we’re all fucked up and we’re feelin’ alright, and we’re gonna Burn Down Beale Street. We’re gonna burn that shit down to the ground!
I’m walking in Memphis and I know how I feel. I saw the ghost of Dr. King shedding a tear, I’ll take a hand grenade over neon lights, and Burn Down Beale Street. Burn Down Beale Street. Burn Down Beale Street, tonight!
I’m walking in Memphis and I know how I feel. I saw the ghost of Henry Loeb, tryin to cut a deal, I’ll take a molotov over neon lights, and Burn Down Beale Street. Burn Down Beale Street. Burn Down Beale Street, tonight!

All this time I wandered alone, I was waiting on you. When I look into your eyes, we both know it’s true.
I had to travel to the city of dead kings and so did you. Now that time and space have aligned, what are we gonna do?
Shreveport girl. What are you doing in Memphis, shreveport girl? I’ve lost control of my senses. Shreveport girl. I’m waiting for your kiss. Shreveport girl. Can we do it like this?
I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been on trial. I’ve been down so long I thought it was my style. The way you think, the way you smile, your beautiful eyes have made the wait worthwhile.
I really do. I really do dig you. I really do. I really do dig you Shreveport girl! What are you doing in Memphis, shreveport girl? I’ve lost control of my senses.
Shreveport girl. I’m waiting for your kiss. Shreveport girl. Can we do it like this? Shreveport girl!

Fite Or Die!

Don’t wanna wake up, put on the makeup. An Amerikkkan dream in a plastic cup. Open your eyes and it's no surprise most of us don’t care. The same ol’ story. It's getting boring, bout the rich gettin’ richer while the rest of us are snoring. Make a plan and take a stand, or shut the fuck up man!
You’re Always talking on a tapped phone to me. Always talking on a tapped phone to me. When will we see through the lies? Look to the future. When will we open our eyes, And find each other? It’s time to choose a side! It's fite or die!

(Un)lucky To Be Alive
03:13

Unlucky to be alive, I guess I should confess, we’re overdressed, and every song sounds the same. We’ve traded progress for change.
It’s hard to get out of bed all these names in my head, the life that’s now dead. What is the price we pay to make the pain go away?
It’s a movement, it's a message, pick me up and throw me back in the fight. Mothers, brothers, lovers, we all need each other. Pick me up and show me the light.
I’m lucky to be alive. I guess I should suggest this shit is the best, like when I say your name, everything has changed.
Unlucky to be alive, I’m lucky to be alive, Unlucky to be alive, I’m lucky to be alive...

It's okay to be down, but lately I can be found a bit lower. Creepin around and drinking by myself in the corner.
you picked me up though. You picked me up. You picked me up anyway.
Will you save me? Will you save me? Pretty baby, Will you save me?
Well I’m not doing too good like I been choking up blood on the pavement, and if you understood, you’d throw me back in the mud where you found me.
you picked me up though. You picked me up. You picked me up anyway.
Will you save me?
Will you save me? Pretty baby, Will you save me?
I don’t think you can save me, and now it's raining...aww shucks!

It's a new day, another chance to destroy everything in my way. It's a good day, another chance to make those fascist bastards pay. It's a good day, another chance to say I love you. It's a good day, yeah it's a good day, it's a good day!
All cops are beautiful, all cops are bold. All cops are brilliant, all cops are balanced and blessed. All cops are blameless. All cops are brave. All cops are ...All cops are...you can fill in them blanks. (they're never blanks!)
