Despised by your world
A life of pain, a life of hurt
Colour blind, payed in kind
Rewarded and punished
My skin is tarnished
Infernal cycle

Military Issue
01:36
|
|||
|
Skulls crushed by tank treads
Human crowds filled with lead
Stone against machines
War crimes, remain unseen
Imperial might, justified murder
The hegemony reaches further and further
Phosphorus clouds burn the skies
Falling forever on innocent eyes
Bodies burning, screams are mute
The tread of the military boot
Sample: John Michael Turner (US War Veteran) denouncing the Iraq War and the US & allied forces' war crimes.

Forward March
01:10
|
|||
|
Marching on the street
They form their lines
Western cilivilisation’s eventual decline
Nazi’s on the rise despite their failed disguise
(But) men with silver tounges
are the far more dangerous ones
No division, only unity
No revision, only abolition
March on the streets, no thought of retreat
Our enemies the ones holding the chain
Break them down, they must not remain
Colours of the world unite
We must stand up and fight!
They appease our fears while destroying our rights
Taking a cut while the whole world is set alight
The regulator’s hands are on their batons
while many who fight, survive on rations
The forests are burning, so is our hate
The air is poisoned and so is the state

Devoid of colour, every station
The voice of a white One Nation
Programmes to sterilise
Programmed to ostracise
Static is all I hear
Representation is what you fear
Tune in
Tune out
Sample & Song title origin - Gill Scott-Heron

White Tears
00:48
|
|||
|
White supremacy
Oppressive legacies
Weaponised, white tears
We can’t be controlled,
your grip has lost it’s hold
Chained hands, now free
Cast down ivory thrones
Your children still throw stones
Affirmative action is self defence
You cry white tears, time to repent
No lamination for you

Vicarious
02:21
|
|||
|
My waking eyes, tired of what they see
Life's burning out in front of me
Nothing to hope for, nothing to believe
Nothing to dream for in (this) reality
Tired of the slaughter, tired of the crimes
Tired of the need for picket lines
Sick of corruption, complacent politicians
Somethings gotta change, no one will listen
Tired of medication and the abuse
When treatment for trauma is no use
No time for healing with profits to be made
Trapped in our prisons, too afraid
VICARIOUS
Pinned my life to the idea that we can change
Open palms broken by a system of pain

Assimilation
00:36
|
|||
|
Want me to act like you?
Think like you, be like you?
Paint my face
Erase my race
WHITEFACE
White makes right that’s why I fight
Mental cage is all your offer
Never again will I suffer

Babylon's Ashes
01:42
|
|||
|
Colonise. Consume. Enslave. Ensnare.
Don't need your harmony
Don't need your hegemony
"Liberal" ideas
Subversive tactics
Bound to your dying world
Babylon needs to burn
BURN!
Sample - Nelson Mandela, ANC & MK members
singing "Umkhonto we Sizwe" upon his release.
AMANDLA (POWER)!
