lyrics
everybody get your helmets on
cause this right here what's goin on
makes what happened in the 60's just a false alarm
it's the same old shit with bigger bombs
and .. every time one hits the ground
like every second, that bass that pounds
my head so hard and that waft from hell
it's the same burnt smell like when the towers fell
and what'd we get?
more years w constant tears and more fears with constant hate
put a country that was something in a dismal state
and made a hopeful world less than great
more pain and floods and rains
no change to our violent ways
we got 2 or 3 wars for each damn year
now can't we solve one problem whats happenin here? NOW
and such a mystery why we can't learn from history
while any child can see -- calling humanity
everybody come and hear this sound
cause this right here, whats goin down
is gonna take everything, that you're made of
to throw it all away, except the love
can't nobody hold us down
can't nobody hold us down
pour some whiskey in a glass
light a smoke and lets start thinking
while we're playing the race card we racing to armageddon
the sun's setting you chasing gold so come get it
when they hit us and shed light on fake politics
police paint a description and they fit it
underestimated like the son of a slave did it
that saturated fat on my back tv selling me pills man that sound like crack
government holding the crown they ain't holding me back
no excuses the future is ours to enact
so hold your head above water there's a war underground
turn it up loud
i was feeling down so low i didn't know where to go lost my soul trying to find my way
and time -- she doesn't seem to wait or ever hesitate to tell me i'm going to slow
so i'm gonna find the find the divine inside if i can't rewind i'm doing you right now
up in the moment i'm in i'm trying to see clear but the fear is blinding
but i know that i'm near the summit i'm sick to my stomach but i can't run from it
i gotta do what i've never done to do something
well the king and queen sitting on the thrown they all fallin down cause nobody knows where we're going
it don't matter but i've had it and you can't hold me anymore
can't nobody nold us down can't nobody hold us down
the revolution is not yesterday the revolution is not tomorrow
our revolution is right now
and nobody can hold us down
cause this right here what's goin on
makes what happened in the 60's just a false alarm
it's the same old shit with bigger bombs
and .. every time one hits the ground
like every second, that bass that pounds
my head so hard and that waft from hell
it's the same burnt smell like when the towers fell
and what'd we get?
more years w constant tears and more fears with constant hate
put a country that was something in a dismal state
and made a hopeful world less than great

about
Goldishack Guerrillas New York, New York
In a country where a culture of war has become business as usual, this New York City collective Goldishack Guerrillas fights back with a raucous mix of hip hop, guitars and political will to bring a message louder than any TV set. They've been called "lazy, fat and stupid" by Rush Limbaugh and have argued with Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and News Corp., among others. Fun! ... more
