LYRICS: December 17th, 2010 Mohammed Bouazizi's self immolation caused a revelation The United States raped our region Tired of bein told what to believe in Political oppression was what we were conceived in The people demand freedom, chests heavin as we screamin You invaded our soil with pigs, but that's what our religion forbids us from Eatin Proceed to killin for treason, but is that the only reason? US invasions seem to happen every season Drones will sneak up while an Arab kid sleepin And ya big guns be gleamin, just like ya flag Red, white, and blue and you gotta salute or they'll question ya loyalty And I ain't talkin 1940s, homie this is now CNN be the source and you dare not question how Look at em actin, they deserve to take a bow They talkin bout the Dow and fittin in with the crowd But they ain't tell you bout the local poverty The invasions bein justified with democracy People livin on the streets, yet yall focused on foreign policy? Naw fuck your democracy And that Adam Smith philosophy Cause a free market economy is why we got poverty If ya don't believe me just look at their ideology Private property, inclusion of social policies Cause while WE strugglin, they drivin Ferraris This the same system that bombed Nagasaki This American dream, is just another scheme And my name ain't Martin but I still have a dream CREAM, capitalism ruins everything around me NSA, Patriot Act still ain't enough to drown me The revolution found me And the struggle surrounds me Scream for the prisoners Scream for the children Scream for the poor and let's keep movin Because I have a solution to this economic pollution, a political movement starts with US Standing up for justice will always be a must Educate, mobilize, inspire, and empower We can't let our voices keep vein devoured _____________________________________________________________ Poetry by www.araborganizing.org/our-work/ayo beat by instagram: @Knockzarelli Art Design by www.sKnoxx.com _____________________________________________________________

MUSIC VIDEO: youtu.be/Sam2VmFubTQ

"THE TREES WILL GROW AGAIN" piece is speaking to the mass destruction colonialism currently has made for the people in Palestine & historically across Turtle Island aka North America. With the ongoing imperialist devastation that humanity is facing from systematic oppression at this moment of history. This feature builds solidarity with Palestine through cultural work. And as people of color, it speaks to building a cross cultural movement in joint struggle against these illnesses on earth, in relation to the destruction of the earth, people are rising, and the trees will grow again.

World famous DJ Dez is on the cuts delivering the phenomenal hook.

BOYCOTTS-DIVESTMENTS-SACTIONS

The US government continues to unconditionally support Israel’s crimes against humanity.

The time is now, more than ever, to end Israeli Apartheid. We are calling for a national and global movement to boycott and divest from Israel.
