Knox Hill
2084
Whispers in the darkness
Fading
I am heartless
Aiming for the marksmen
This age is for the godless
Regardless
I'm praying to the fathers
Father, please save me
Oh God it’s

Burning books and verses
As they force us into service
All these lies that they've repurposed
And conformed into the truth
Hail the youth, hail the youth
The future has been duped
Got us hooked on screens and likes
And drive us further to the noose
I need truth, I need 'proof’
So I find it in this contraband
I stole inside a Goose
Gimme that loot
I been on loop
I been on, oops
See me and I shoot
I ain't got time for the questions
Man I'm so sick of the lessons
I've been stressing, second guessing everything that I know
Every lie told that they'd force
No remorse
All the notes down my throat
As I scroll through the quotes
And I choke on these hopes
Need a rope in a hole
Need a rope but
"NO!!"
Critics all get hung from them
Speak and get your tongue cutted
Lungs gutted
Drug through the mud
Your guts and stomach buttered
Like a calf at slaughter
Watch your son's and daughter's carcass
Butchered carnage
Cut in half and martyred
Now departed
But there's no Saviours here
You can only say what’s been approved
You can only say what they play it to you on the news
Whew
Microchip and track you
As you catch a jet to Mars
Payments sent in water
They control the reseviours
The air you breathe has been polluted
Every school has seen a shooter
Raising humans by computers
Every newborn turned abuser
Genetic codes in algorithms
Altruism has been dated
What you made it has been taken
Shit
Welcome to the future
Where do I go from here?
My whole world is built from fear
I have known that there’s nowhere
I can go the road is theirs
Oh no

Back with the rhythm of the system
I been living in this prison
For too long
Time to rise up for the mission
For too long we just listened
Listless
Now it's time to pivot
Now it’s time to insert difference
Freedom fighters with no fear of dying
They sold us guns and hit the streets with violence
Taught us speak with silence don't heed the sirens
They created race let us compete, divide us
Keep on fighting pay police to keep us quiet
News distracts they feed the fires
Reek of liars peek behind their iron giants
Seek assignment, need alignment
Wire hate
Then hide behind their higher gates
And so we ride and rise for change
Fists up, click up
Get the trigger
Here come the rebellious ones with zealous guns
It's a stick up
Sick of the control
Thickets in the fold
Picketing the mould
Triggered in the roles
I ain't one of those
But I’m sick of being broke
Stick up hit a liquor store
Dip into the road
Trick 'em
Switching up the clothes
Hit the morgue then I pour a forty out
Forty more for my homies on the post who are ghost
I ain't one for the resolutions
Rise up for the Revolution
Sick of the solution
Time for evolution
Where's the restitution
Reparations ain't amusing
Forty acres, where's the mule son?
The Enemy is in the Institution

Silent as they rise
You can see the writing in the lies
You can see the violence in my eyes
But heavens for the sinners
Our story's not remembered
Our story's been forgotten by the winners
