lyrics

RAFT OF A RIOT words by Keith Wilkins

THIS IS THE RAFT OF A RIOT IN THE SOUL OF ME
THIS IS THE RAFT OF A RIOT IN THE SOUL OF ME
STRUGGLE TIMELESS, CAN'T BE SPINELESS
THROW THIS UP SO YOU CAN DIGEST
FIGHT THE MAD REPRESSION PROCESS
THESE WORDS ARE TOOLS - CHECK THE DIALECT

WE ARE TERRORIZED BY MILITANTS WITH BADGES
THEY AIN’T INNOCENT
THEY SAY WE MENACING
WHEN WE STRUGGLE TO BE HUMAN
WE ARE ALL FEELING BODIES TOGETHER
LIFTING LIFE THROUGH ORGANIZATION
HEARTS PUMPING REVOLUTION

LIBERATION FROM LAWS THAT KEEP US BOUND
EXCESSIVE FORCE AND BULLET SOUNDS
CAPITALISTS CAPITALIZE, IRRATIONALS RATIONALIZE
GENIUS GENOCIDE, SUPPORTING LIES
TRUTH CRIMINALIZED, TARGETED AND CRUCIFIED
THIS IS DEATH SERVING TIME

SEGREGATED CONSCIOUSNESS
MENTAL LYNCHING FOR PROFIT

WE ARE TRYNA ESCAPE WITH DRUGS AND FIENDIN'
A SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE DEMON
IN CAPTIVITY WHERE POTENTIALS DEPLETED
WE ALL WILL KEEP PUSHING,
RUNNING RIVER, NOURISH FUTURE GENERATIONS
MAY THEY KEEP DREAMIN'
RESURRECTED - RISE FROM THE CEMENT
