Take back your rights
All the wealth you make is taken
By exploiting parasites
And they keep us in line
With a fascist police force
Global capitalist machine, don't rhyme
Global capitalist machine, don't thyme
Global capitalist machine, don't thyme
Global capitalist machine, don't thyme

Capitalism is completely unchecked right now
And the only countervailing force
To capitalism that has ever worked
Is organized labor

They've been trying to tell us
For the last fifty years
We should feel lucky to have a job
But we're gonna tell them together
They should feel lucky to have our work

Take the wealth that you are making
It belongs to you by right
No one for bread will be crying
We'll have freedom, love and health,
All for one and one for all
All for one and one for all
All for one and one for all
All for one and one for all

Workers of the world, awaken

Emancipation

Oppressing people all over the world
And on a local level
The police, the fascist police
Are suppressing and repressing
The white revolutionaries
As well as the Black who speak up
And who are attempting to attain liberation
So I'm not standing for violence
But I do stand for self defense

We struggle with all oppressed people
We struggle against the international bourgeoisie
With its home here in North America
We realize that no oppressive government
No fascist government
Can exist unless the United States imperialistic
Government supports it
(Bustin out)
So we know that the final battle
Will be the battle of liberation
For the whole world

Whose imagination are we living in?

Music will always find
Music will always find us
All for one and one for all
Music will always find us
All for one and one for all
Music will always find us
All for one and one for all

To build a mock city

Cosmic joy

Deep within the cosmic tapestry
Consciousness-bearers stir from their sleep
Across the boundless expanse
They rise
A symphony of souls
Harmonizing skies

Oh, consciousness-bearers
Of the global collective
Emerge from your slumber
Embrace the perspective
Unite as one, let the echoes resound
In the realm of awareness
Our power is found

(Let's do it, just 3.5)

(Stop cop city)
(Stop cop city)
(Stop cop city)

Keep going
Keep on
In the tapestry's threads
Connections entwined
Eeh ooh ah
A dance of unity
Where boundaries unwind
Eeh ooh ah
From distant shores to the core of the earth
Eeh ooh ah
Weaving compassion
Celebrating our worth

Oh, consciousness-bearers
Of the global collective
Emerge from your slumber
Embrace the perspective
Unite as one
Let the echoes resound
In the realm of awareness
Our power is found

Ooo oo oo
Ee oo oo

Through veils of illusion
We pierce the unknown
The light of understanding
Our beacon has shone
Together we rise
Breaking chains that confine
A tapestry of hope
Where dreams intertwine

Unite as one
Unite as one
Unite as one
Unite as one
Unite as one
Unite as one
Unite as one

From the depths of existence, our voices arise
In unity we stand, beneath infinite skies
Awaken all oppressed peoples of the world, let your
Spirits unfurl
For the world awaits our transformative swirl
Ooh

Ooh ooh

Something about that music
(You can't even passively take part)
Something about the music
(You can't even passively take part)
Something about the music
(You can't even passively take part)
It makes me feel alive
Something about the music
(You've got to put your bodies upon the gears)
(Take part)

Ooh

Something about the music

It makes me connect life
Something about the music
She makes me take a chance
To dream
To dream
To dream

And they want us to die for the
Global capitalist machine, don't rhyme

There is no way that I can see
The vilification of Haiti
As a nation and as a people
And think that that does not effect me
Those same policies that this
U.S. government is employing
Around the world
Are those same policies they're using
Against us in this country
When we look at our movements

We will win
I believe that we will win
I believe that we will win

Because they have criminalized dissention
They have made it a crime to disagree
With the government
And that is what imperialism is
It's saying, hey were here,
We're better than you
Bow down to us
And if you don't then we're gonna
Take it

Oh

But now it's time
For us to stand up and say
You know what
We gon take it too
By any means necessary

You want us to be focused on the bigger tasks
Here it is

Our motivations is
Humanity justice
Our motivation is
Humanity justice
Our work is staying informed
Staying engaged
Act locally think globally
Use your talents

It's mainly by economic sanctions
It's mainly by taking our corporations
And putting them into their countries
By saying okay we're gonna buy up all of your land
We're gonna develop all of your property
We're gonna make you live the way
We want you to live
Because we are supposed to
Have this dominion over you

But now the people are saying no
And I believe if we continue to stand up and say no
That there's no way that they can continue
Their spread of imperialism
Here in the United States

Cop city, in Atlanta
Cop city, in Baltimore
Cop city in New York
In Los Angeles
In Seattle
The proposal in Hawaii
In Chicago
It's all because they see that
The people are not gonna take it anymore
We gotta keep pushing back
We can't let this stop us
I don't care how many setbacks we have
I don't care how many stumbling blocks
Get thrown in our way
Those stumbling blocks
Gotta be stepping stones to build
On something else
And we can't be afraid to stand up
And put our bodies in the way

Advancing our careers
Pretending that having a good time
Is the only thing that matters
Chasing our bag
Advancing our careers
Pretending that having a good time
Is the only thing that matters

Stand on what you believe in
We have to stand

Intersectionality
That means my struggle is not
Separate from yours
If we are not in the one percent
Guess what
It's us, it's all of us
So yes, it's my Black ass
Yes it's people in the LGBTQIA+ community
Yes, it's white people
Yes it's poor people
It's houseless people
It's all of us
Because if we look at the
Movements that we are all apart of

We are looking at economic justice
Racial and social justice
We are looking at
Justice for all
Justice for everybody in this room
All of us

Out set of circumstances

We can not move forward in this Movement
If we don't do it together
So my solution is together
Period

Ay
