Conspiracy To Riot (A Capella)

Conspiracy To Riot - Sage Francis

They wanna corrupt me they tried to corrupt me

This ain't no swan song this is for the ugly ducklings of my country

You are not alone here

Psst psst conspiracy to riot

Peep the game dummy you can't keep the reign from me

It's us who put in the over time they who make the money

Snickering at trickle down economy

We got nickled and dimed it's more like highway robbery

Drive in the fast lane eyes on the gas gauge

Listen to neo cons cry about black rage

It doesn't stop there

They're the blowhards they puff out their chest they're full of hot air

Providing entertainment for the status quo

Then once every 4 years they pander to the black vote

Oh religion ain't a tool of control

Then why they pull the god card once they're losing in the polls

Foolish I know we're victims of circumstance

It ain't coincidence we're children of the worker ants

While those in power ain't never owned a pair of dirty pants

But they're quick to kill your health insurance plans

The rich cheat death with their cheap survival

They found more than one way to beat the bible

Street disciple my beats are trifle mega

Don't repeat the cycle just live your life better

I'm gonna defeat my rival that's why I'm writing this letter

To let em know we ain't giving up the fight ever

Psst psst conspiracy to riot

They wanna corrupt me they tried to corrupt me

This ain't no swan song this is for the ugly ducklings of my country

You are not alone here

Psst psst conspiracy to riot

Oh yeah I've got a weapon of mass destruction

Parked in the back and it's a vessel of gas consumption

Rebels of rap production never adapted to nothing

Imagine my laugh whenever ask me for something

Like I ain't gave it my all

You came fashionably late to the headband's ball

After the mob scene lost steam

And after we spilled pig's blood on the prom queen

I've been told with old age comes wisdom

But I've found with old age comes old age

We're stuck in our old ways like everything was done much better

In some forgotten era thumb sucking America

I can't begin to name the ways I'd pin the blame

On an administration acting inhumane

If it's killing season let's start within

When the hunter becomes the hunted they outlaw hunting

Ain't that something

Confiscate the ammunition

Cuz there's a wolf in sheep's skin a pit bull with lipstick

A pig in a blanket some lame duck president

Privatizing profit and socializing debt

Collapsed credit journalists get arrested

Watch the black water operatives go domestic

Oh that's a problem well don't agonize

Smoke em if you got em a whole pack of lies

Summer spring and autumn now bring the wintertime

I don't protest snow I shovel it with picket signs

Psst psst conspiracy to riot

They wanna corrupt me they tried to corrupt me

This ain't no swan song this is for the ugly ducklings of my country

You are not alone here

We have the right to assembly and it's the duty of the patriot

To protect his country from the government

But when we try it but when we try it

But when we try it

It's conspiracy to riot

Peace rally with my friends conspiracy to riot

When we have no defense conspiracy to riot

Rubber bullets to our heads conspiracy to riot

Conspiracy to riot conspiracy to riot

When we find voter fraud conspiracy to riot

When we defy overlords conspiracy to riot

When we finally pull the cord conspiracy to riot

Conspiracy to riot conspiracy to riot

'Til the truth is revealed conspiracy to riot

We ain't choosing to kneel conspiracy to riot

Let me be the human shield conspiracy to riot

Conspiracy to riot conspiracy to riot
