lyrics

This Machine Kills Fascists

This machine kills fascists, that’s my fanatic enrollment
into the city we built brick by brick through performance
Scenes of virtue in the streets that we hustle to work through
garbage water flows through gutters giving birth to
the sterile environments, with no dreams for retirement
distorted, contorted and fashioned into a science
Silence reigns golden where united we stand
as artisans of the noise spreading like cracks through a dam.
Back of the hand, know it as slight, the light of the candles
flickers behind the background noise that we sample
broadcasting live from the underbelly intelligent
grassroots in our own right, tag my name as a delegate
From the depths we swan from to Olympian heights
across the paragraphs of rough drafts and instrumental advice
It ignites through the night like wildfire through grass
leaving the snakes charred remains in the light of a flash
Cuz this is our land, let it never be their’s
don’t let the money change the way that you flipping the snares
Beyond the cars and jewelry, beyond the credit accounts
when push comes to shove, they will edit you out
Down to my last cent, symbolic running a fever
tag the Woody Guthrie slogan across the side of my speakers
Set the tempo to nine sev so the flow can get it in yo
and for every door they shut we smash another fucking window

hip hop...
