American Revolution II

I’m a student of the American Revolution that hasn’t happened yet
Humanity’s international destiny manifest
A war that’s by and for the giant corporations proves the case
Of an organized workforce to fight nothing to lose but chains
The vast majority of the human race can’t support their needs
In Haiti they eat clay biscuits but that’s of course unseen
Two classes bourgeoisie and proletariat
There’s those that barely lift a finger the owners very rich
They hold these great lowly paid droves each stays broke
Because there aint no peace ‘till we control these J.O.B.s
Vote in who’s runnin’ the modes of production
Install a socialist structure after the old one is crushed first
I’m blowing the cover of slave owners and mother earth plunderers
A rose of another names still the same as the other was
We target victims in the free market system
That’s why so many poor folks in this country are imprisoned
Gonna take it to the system gonna smash it to pieces
All of us together from the ashes a phoenix
No republican or democratic allegiance
Just justice and peace is needed
Value comes from labor so power to the wage earner
Now who employs takes one’s worth thats how true exploitation works
If the poor combine to form a giant organized force to fight
For their rightful portion size the form decided on is your design
Democratic economy for wants and needs logically
We have the technology to vanquish poverty and accomplish peace
Abandon the profit seeking philosophy rampant today
Capital aims to expand and inflate and that is to blame for the planet’s decay
Iconoclastic actions against that that back the status quo
Combat establishment which has in fact abandoned Average Joe
Impact unimaginable damage of a massive scope
That’s just underhanded low some acquiesce abandon hope
The man demands you bust your ass for scant cash ‘til your back is broke
Callus hands of staff advance to management a chance remote
That is what the masses have to tackle just to hack it
I’ve had enough of that shit let’s stand as one and smash it
Gonna take it to the system gonna smash it to pieces
All of us together from the ashes a phoenix
No republican or democratic allegiance
Just justice and peace is needed

Where do we put stuff for other people to use?
Not long by the curbside for someone a superb find
Is there a community chest or is it just refuse
For one man a burn pile to another a turnstyle
How can someone be broke when they’re working two jobs
And spending every cent on medicine and food cost
How can the major shareholders do nothing productive
We’re busting our butts just to cough up the profits from what we’ve constructed
Fuck this
How come it is one with abundance and hundreds with nothing
We’re driving busses cleaning ovens pressing buttons run shit
Sweat from our brows converge the breadth of the nile
That paycheck just came out is disrespecting my style
Where do we put stuff for other people to use?
Not long by the curbside for someone a superb find
Is there a community chest or is it just refuse
For one man a burn pile to another a turnstyle
Swan dive in the marketplace online to discard your waste for a few bucks
Buying new stuff why when there’s too much produced that we’re still trying to use up
Pizzas a vegetable in school lunch- preposterous
Lobbyist dominance the loss of the commons is ominous
We survived the mayan dying date so what provides our fate?
Ultraviolet rays or climate change or good old fashioned primal rage
But you and I are safe when they assign the blame it wasn’t us
Running the modes of production and fucking up

Without Justice sure as hell aint no peace
Black kid gets shot and his killer goes free
Call it self defence ‘cuz of a little nose bleed
Took six whole weeks to arrest him- fuck the police
Don’t gotta have a glock in hand or any type of contraband
To get stopped and harassed even shot in the back it’s awful sad ask Oscar Grant
Revolution music we don’t do things slow gotta smash racism and the New Jim Crow
We musn’t forget- necesitamos tener cuidado
So Ima do this for Amadou Diallo follow
The 13th amendment’s exemption of them in detention same slavery different form
More black men today behind prison doors than slaves at the start of the civil war
Caucasions hate on Trayvon because he fought back
But when they gave their daughters cans of pepper spray expect the same
Share solidarity not life experience when not black
Combat dog tags from a Dred Scott past
That’s the sound of oppression heard
Lining up black men on curbs
Who do they protect and serve?
The real sound of the police
They blame the victim when there’s pain inflicted that they don’t see
Alan Blueford and two friends just finished watching the fight
And were waiting for a ride at 12o’clock in the night
A cop car was driving by in response to dropped dimes
Saw some black guys and thought they might be involved in some crimes
Turned off the headlights glock pulled- surprise!
Alan ran and bang got shot from behind
Not drunk or high and weaponless just so it’s understood
That trigger happy pig then shot himself in the fucking foot
Good- that’s one back from Sean Bell
Leaving 49 for these swine sending them to hog hell
Reaction beats act we’ve seen Katrina breaching Army dams
Stop and frisk apocalypse they shot and killed Ramarley Graham
Where’s the party at? Victory drinks
When the whole community links and we bring down the ceiling on the precinct
Less uniforms more jobs schools and farms
We’ve got some work to do before the boys in blue dissarm
That’s the sound of oppression heard
Lining up black men on curbs
Who do they protect and serve?
The real sound of the police
They blame the victim when there’s pain inflicted that they don’t see
The origins of racism resources of plantations forced to go to waste
From shortages of labor which importing men as slaves sure fixed
Morals in the way are switched horrors are ok with different shaded skin
Hate deliberately created made them rich
Lower class caucasions and those emancipated
Could overthrow the capitalist state hegemony if both would stand and face the enemy
No one can prevail separately so began race supremacy
Spread to suppress with a wedge between the people defense succeeds

Ready set go, when he says so
Heads will explode on many levels
Knock socks off without your velcro shell toes
Who the hell knows for whom the bell tolls
Yes I do take dabs of butane hash in a new A's hat
After boom came bap then a poop stained rap
In the middle of Virginia with middle fingers up
It's hitting, bruh, like if it comes to lyrical physical fisticuffs
Underground like playing dig dug
99 problems 86 fucks
Lambast those ramshackle ham-hand flows- all amiss
Call it quits caught against Scott Sliuazis and Psyopsogist
Jamming flows down your esophagus cough and spit
As if choking on a cantaloupe vomiting back up prose
So that you know I speak to each from chic elite to average Joe
Freak a beat decently seems to me please keep casual
Here comes the rain thundering under same white trash bag unashamed
Fucking stay in front a phrase like hash tags
Underground like playing dig dug
99 problems 86 fucks
Arcane mechanics if it’s broke you gotta order parts
Calculated magic torn apart by performance arts
Escape the labyrinth before it’s dark or meet your fate
This doesn't seem germane- the worm in the apple the teacher ate
Whirs and beeps from the murky deep of mercury server speed
Your machine circuitry certainly needs urgent refurbishing
When did you experience electric shock? Currently
Never meddle with treble level LFO envelope murder spree
Underground like playing dig dug
99 problems 86 fucks
Nowadays are cloudy baking brownies blazed- guffaw
Cannabis scented phantom manuscript animus endless sentence run-on
Sank your battleship gun drawn, rap for a month long
Imagine an amateur handling battle, man come on
Which average producer can say this track isn't superb's talking shit
Back to the future when Biff crashed in manure
Great Scott! Think you got the tie that binds- frayed knot
Working overtime to blow your mind like Kurt Cobain shot
Underground like playing dig dug
99 problems 86 fucks
Life's made of sine waves up and down like trumpet valves
Gutter mouth cussing loud unannounced- fucking hell
Underwhelmed someone help, talk amongst yourselves
All is well where monsters dwell I'm bald with spells like Gargamel
Peaks and troughs repeated often shape snakes make
Keep it on until a later sideways eight date
This is my attempt at artful with the message garbled
My words will send a jarful of severed third metacarpals
Underground like playing dig dug
99 problems 86 fucks
I'm a smith of words written verse literature if your sure give it your signature
Live and learn 'till digging dirt to fit what's in the hearse
Ouch that gigahertz, fear no evil or placebo
Panacea egotistic people we don't see those
Reticence in the past, present tense in your grasp
If you’re meddling with advanced mathematics better not skip a class
My building's glass and filled with cracks could split in half but still intact
Switch the plans- aristocratic villains have to finish last
Operations psychological, got the nation by hair follicles, basis economical
The waves that come from pond ripples rhyme flow in small trickles
'Cuz I'm cold and pipes froze, on tonight's show like Don Rickles
Nonsensical drivel gibberish jabberwocky rapping off key
At the Grand Ole Opry with Johnny Cash beat-boxing
Who grew these beauties? Nuggets to puff and I pack bong-loads
These tunes be looney abida-abida that's all, folks- sike
Underground like playing disk golf
99 problems tell them all to fuck off
Hip hop isn't dead anyone who says it is I'll get and rip to shreds, introspective minuet
Dip a pen in ink and then switch perspective different lens
Bill and Ted excellence finished when listeners have shit the bed, Uh
I'm in the spot like X marks, gotta rep hard, brought my best bars, drop like depth charge
Tsunami ensues got me doing laundry- powerful
'Bout to blow found a poem insurmountable now you know
I'm going big like the fry size at five guys, I'd like a pie slice like 3.1459
20/20 hindsight blindsided by hive mind
My light shines like the twilight night sky when I write rhymes
Put fear behind eins zwei drei- there can you see what I did?
Speech is a gift you experiment with, it increases your wit like The Secret of Nimh
Nicodemus with written don't give a rat's ass, got more bars than pub crawls
Tell you once and for all in a southern drawl- fuck y'all!

Now phones download apps and apathy
See life streamlined in real time through shattered screens
Magic beans that grow to vines in six second vids
A sycophant sick of it with seperatist sentiments settled in
An essay explaining the best escapades and escapes- head games
Plugged in the grid nothing functions checkmate
How’s about we power down our browser web page
All computer geeks to the streets enrage red states engage
To proceed is treacherous can’t see the precipice
Won’t read the messages it seems an enigma
Sleepy from sedatives we need new medicine
Please treat with respectfulness repeat reciprocal
All the stuff is not enough until I’ve got a monster truck
And have got to run over Mazdas like Tonkas- ‘Murica!
Like Kirsten Dunst twerking burger suburbia thirty plus
Earning what a person does in Serbia but burn weed up
For real take lazy ways blaze eighths of haze play some breaks
Wordsmith murders verbiage then lays ace of spades on slain remains
Cray cray game like space invaders GTA EA sports we play hard
Up up down down left right left right B A start
To proceed is treacherous can’t see the precipice
Won’t read the messages it seems an enigma
Sleepy from sedatives we need new medicine
Please treat with respectfulness repeat reciprocal
We all exist within sovereign consciousness rocks amidst a broad abyss
All it is is parlor tricks and politics
Carrot on a stick says an arrogant economist
The problem is marriage is acknowledged if you’re opposite
But like likes like ride with night bike lights
Won’t get side swiped twice this is a hype rhyme ‘ciph
Heavy hitters- what’s that baseball card worth?
Are you a Walmarter or an awol martyr?

Started on the ground floor now I’m high like Falkor
Not quite a star a brown dwarf like to harvest outdoor
2016 ground score habitable rapping tempo crowd roar
Imaginable that simple amateurs with practice get dope
That depends though on what you’re down for
Whatever one lever fulcrum better pull it
Expect some bullshit when it’s lead expulsion then I’ll catch the bullet
Middle finger raised gesticulate from bully pulpit
Art snob heart throb party monster Macaulay Culkin
Microphone to preamp said we don’t need that feedback
Light up this weed green lantern say fight for fifteen SeaTac
Rolling up real slow just like my feet dragging
Ghost like Bilbo when he defeat dragon
Careful is imperative or meat wagon
This MC stinks but the beats banging
OG pros decode these flows learn something didn’t know before
Only four companies make everything in your grocery store
Aw snap Scott’s rap talks smack y’all as small as some crawdads
Support performance more than combat jock straps on y’all ballsacks
Everyplace is different once you cross the Mason-Dixon
Saying shit can make you quick the latest victim way it is
State Virginia on the James River- you may have heard of it
‘Cuz RVA is burgeoning like rage in Ferguson
And I’m higher than Maynard Ferguson can play in perfect pitch
Wordsmith with the smartest sharpest harshest darkest chained superlatives
This may just hurt a bit pain surges in your ear canal can you hear me now?
Fear and doubt increase as routes get near the south uh
He grunts once cuz he loves it when the subs bump
If it wasn’t turnt up someone other than us must have fucked it up
Trumpet and percussion played in tux and cumberbun
Because I’ve won the cup the runner up gets nothing but an uppercut
Mellow folks playing tunes as smooth as cello notes
These fellows know I’m hella dope on a level seldom known
Tell ‘em so with megaphones or keep your trap zipped
Once we leave earth that’s it we’ll never land like Peter Pan shit
Dub T the baddest

Sitting pretty there’s no trouble in river city
Where the bricks bleed history skin deep Richmond enrich me
Isn’t it pretty living in Richmond City this is Scott’s Addition
To monuments and awesomeness caution walking on those cobblestones so Shockoe Slippery
Talks cheap on broad street- Got heat? The Fan’s cool
Probably gonna see a lot of these tattoos more than a scant few
From Oregon hill you can see the James there’s more a chill when the seasons change
And leaves enflame wardrobes rearrange you should see this place
Rock the Belle Isle drinking swimming chilling style
Rock climb wave hi to kayaks that pass by on class fives
Sitting pretty there’s no trouble in river city
Where the bricks bleed history skin deep Richmond enrich me
Our Church Hill isn’t Winston but we’re mercilessly winning
If this is a civic competition you heard definitely Richmond
Different than my hitherto Franciscan existence
Living in the Mission District which was hip as shit and I miss it
In the RVA there’s seldom suckers and hardly fakes
Where people get up early and they party late
Arteries paved with cobblestones gotta know your history
Lombardy and Main so long ago where trollies go Richmond enrich me
Sitting pretty there’s no trouble in river city
Where the bricks bleed history skin deep Richmond enrich me
It’s a nice day want to go to Maymont a straight shot
Past Byrd park I’m very in love with the area just a work of art
Hike by where the current surges and the Heron searches for fish
Pipeline- a sandy beach to have a seat and bide time
Great landscape that makes eighth graders take a pic that’s not a selfie
Pour a little drink out for them poor folks in the Commonwealthy
Beats bounce like a bouncer telling you “please pay a cover”
If VA’s for lovers dub t came with rubbers

Korea Vietnam Iraq we’ve bombed them all
Both Congress and the Oval Office won’t stop it
Whoever you select to represent you red or blue
If elected soon forget the new direction proven an effective tool of deception
A clever ruse give credit due success with few exceptions through
A sense of uselessness in youth and network news ineptitude
US troops sent you bet soon death through
Inhuman ruthless cruel abusses do ensue
The terrorist forces of America storm in and declare the resources are
Theirs to extort but Arabs endure and resist the arrogant war
Retired generals hide their mental childishness behind their medals
Lie dissemble while dissent grows violence levels rising ten fold
Try and get both tribal sects broke- divided men won’t fight
But when whole you might as well fold oft times a threat posed
Calls for fighter jets those conquered by US know
Loss of rights suppressed votes copper wire electrodes occupiers M.O.
My banner isn’t star spangled it’s Marx Engles
Lennin and Trotsky Douglass Luxemburg Chomsky
Every penstroke’s a manifesto a deathblow
On capital’s threshold with strangled breath spoke demanding you let go
Radio silence deprive the prying eyes of spies and tyrants
Wiretap environment nothing with a microchip is private
Remember when today became NSA surveillance day
Our rights didn’t fade away they’ve been anally raped since slavery days
Exchanges we make what you say is being saved complete invasion read my name
Delete my complete file CIA allows us to live free die chained
These spy planes and unmanned drones fuckin blow up a whole bunch of homes
Want gun control? Pull the plug on programs such as those
Yes I have a problem with Democrat apologists
Who’d never have such politics unless it has Obama’s wit
Rippin my gigabytes Hitler-like it isn’t right
From democracy to Stasi in a signature strike
Chelsea Manning free her leave Edward Snowded alone
What Assange exposed is gonna take more than outvoting gotta overthrow ‘em
Not just politicians but the billionaires behind
Iran Contra chopper fodder rhyme fall in line
My banner isn’t star spangled it’s Marx Engles
Lennin and Trotsky Douglass Luxemburg Chomsky
Every penstroke’s a manifesto a deathblow
On capital’s threshold with strangled breath spoke demanding you let go
So you’re the boss at corporate job scored the top floor colossal corner office
Order jobs outsourced across the border profits soar impoverished
Poor downtrodden bore the cost extort and rob a fortune bought
A Porsche a yacht a gorgeous hottie pouring coffee or a scotch
Subordinates often form the thought it’s more they want
Sure but not before their rotting corpse is gone
Like Gorbachev’s forehead spot

A sequence constructed using machines as percussion
Technology’s the propulsion digital levers and fulcrums
Multiple features and functions so you should read the instructions
Confusing speaking in tongues takes more than beating the buttons
A chimpanzee with a drumstick? No sir I’m a composer
Did my homework long ago learned how the notes work
Buffalo herd soldier rapping over reggae rhythms
The white male’s paid different that perpetuates racism
Great inequality in the labor economy
Education does not equal job placement for all people
Graduate with a law degree- face even stronger descrimination
Changing wage with race just aint how it oughta be
I write music get it fine tuned then rhyme to it
New insight that’s true and wise or fool’s advice you decide
I’m holding onto this microphone it’s positive
The radio’s the opposite- there’s so much talking shit
I like the beat percussive rough as fuck when I drop rhymes
Like I swung an uppercut that struck up under your jaw line
Drums tougher than rawhide left in the sun for a long time
I’ll do nothing to spawn violence spirits cultured and thoughts wise
When confronted I pause smile like you fucked with the wrong guy
Pumped up muscles just get crushed when up against strong mind
Put a nug in my small pipe puffed it and got high
My lungs are like on fire but fuck it it’s alright
Come in humble unpresumptuous get along fine
But I’ll tug a rug from under a big strut and a tall stride
Everyone as a small child has instructors they’re taught by
Whos punishments draw lines and forms the structure of wrong right
This country if not blind sees shit upside-down cross-eyed
Hiding under a rock while it’s like Republicans gone wild
Let a couple of laws slide and all of a sudden it’s lost rights
And “That’s the way it is” like I’m a young Walter Cronkite
La Luna
Practical application of actual math equations
Pack a bowl relax and blaze it it’s apropos to raise a glass and toast
At the dance with no chaperone an average joe
That’s bad to the bone understanding a poem’s like cracking a code
Figurative language transmitted from a sat dish
In the upper bandwidth and we’re picking up some static
Syllables arranged to dull the pain your skull contains
Sometimes their difficult to say fast as bulls in spain or bullet trains
Marching our feet at the speed of a heartbeat
All I needs my car keys piece of dark meat and a decent party
All three seem in arms reach don’t ask for much I have enough
Can’t get stuck scrambling up the corporate ladders rungs
Never find a faster tongue or blacker lungs in all the land
A sack of nugs as contraband old fashioned under modern man
Saved the best one for last so pay attention
My raps a dangerous weapon when you catch it like H1N1
When creative juices flow I flip the on switch
Dip my face into the notes and sip harmonics
Get up on it- send my brain into a zone
When the bass all super low like you played the Sousaphone
That’s the way a tune’s composed methodically turn thought to beat
From soft and sweet like lobster meat to hard rock like a cobble street
But it’s not complete all it needs is rhymes go get a glossary
Then talk to me- I got that shit in a bag like a colostomy
So now you’ve got the secret I’ve been keeping under lock and key
So all you sweet tooth never floss emcees can bite with rotten teeth
I often meet a lot of theifs that want to breech my sovereignty and copy
But not me- I burn dem like the pot leaf
Don’t battle cuz Scott’s against capital punishment
Does it have to all come to this you’ll get ravaged by drums and synths
Rappers and junglists know their ass better come equipped
When I pass ‘em the thunder stick they best have on some oven mitts

To say I am blessed is an understatement at best
I’m acing it just like I’m taking the test place your bets
RVA gets repped to the Frisco Bay respect
Entertaining as laser pens chased by pets when I play a set
Watagwan bacchanal pack it up pass it off
Have to cough Padawan? Flow fast as y’all Aderol
Cannonball splash in acid cannibal nom nom
On soft raw vocal chords of rappers like wontons
There’s salvation in the bass drum so I praise some 808 thumps
Patience is a virtue might hurt you if vibrations anxious
Keep your eyes closed and hope the reaper rides slow
Everywhere that I go get your mind blown by live shows
And everyone who sees me from Leigh Street to DC
Leaves tweeting yee yee playing D U B T CDs on repeat
On the wheels of steel got more cuts than that demon Sweeny of Fleet Street
Three sheets to the wind for the win weekly green leaf’s beastly Seymore feed me
Know it is nice don’t waste time rolling the dice- snake eyes
Pace and I got that frame of mind like a cloaking device
Keep your eyes closed hope that the reaper rides slow
Treat you like Data bro tell you to make it so
Put on the greatest show since Game of Thrones on HBO
No such thing as magic this was crafted with practice
And hasbeens romanticize about the apparatus and fantasize
Their talent is half as bad as the status of master
Instead of calves put to pasture no last words
With no gestation period a baby alien appears
And then pirouettes I’m serious ok one beer then bed
This is audio transmitted from the mars rover
Little green men team member card holder
Staying lost in space until the bar closes stars glowing
Beats sweet enough to charm cobras
Microphone hand wrist arm shoulder mechanism
It’s all for naught when thoughts aren’t focused
Built a spaceship with bubble wrap and a car motor
So I can start over when this yellow star novas
Know it is nice don’t waste time rolling the dice- snake eyes
Pace and I got that frame of mind like a cloaking device
