Old enough to understand the shit'll change forever They declared the war on drugs like a war on terror But what it really did was let the police terrorize whoever But mostly black boys, but they would call us "niggas" And lay us on our belly, while they fingers on they triggers They boots was on our head, they dogs was on our crotches And they would beat us up if we had diamonds on our watches And they would take our drugs and money, as they pick our pockets I guess that that's the privilege of policing for some profit But thanks to Reaganomics, prisons turned to profits Cos free labor is the cornerstone of US economics Cos slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison You think I am bullshitting, then read the 13th Amendment Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits That's why they giving drug offenders time in double digitsThe end of the Reagan Era, I'm like number twelver
I'm voting for Killer Mike for Georgia Supreme Court because all the actual options suck ass and write shit like this https://www.amazon.com/Resurrecting-Lee-HAL-Moroz/dp/1502526220/ref=nodl_
We're living in a world where the former president of Iran is quoting Tupac and the president of the United States is quoting Walter Headley.
Ahmadinejad addressing americans is always weird. It doesn't make sense as propaganda, because it's not like public opinion has much effect on US foreign policy, and it's not like there are many people outside of government who are both able to point out Iran on a map and think antagonizing it is a good idea. I'd almost believe he's sincere just because I can't think of any other reason he'd bother.
I'm no foreign policy expert nor middle east wonk. But my understanding of Ahmadinejad is he was basically the figurehead the Mullahs pulled in to purge Khatami and his people when George W Bush came to power, and then pulled out when it looked like maybe they could work with Obama. I get the sense that he didn't like being sidelined.
Dead Kennedy's "Riot" always vibed with me because it talks about issues around rioting that nobody talks about... and is probably their most musically complex song, to boot. Adrenaline shoots your nerves to the sky Everyone knows this town is gonna blow And it's all gonna blow right now Now you can smash all the windows that you want All you really need are some friends and a rock Throwing a brick never felt so damn good Smash more glass Scream with a laugh And wallow with the crowds Watch them kicking people's ass But you get to the place Where the real slavedrivers live It's walled off by the riot squad Aiming guns right at your head So you turn right around And play right into their hands And set your own neighborhood Burning to the ground instead [Chorus] Riot The unbeatable high Riot Shoots your nerves to the sky Riot Playing into their hands Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Get your kicks in quick They're callin' the national guard Now could be your only chance To torch a police car Climb the roof, kick the siren in And jump and yelp for joy Quickly, dive back in the crowd Slip away, now don't get caught Let's loot the spiffy hi-fi store Grab as much as you can hold Pray your full arms don't fall off Here comes the owner with a gun [Chorus] Riot The unbeatable high Riot Shoots your nerves to the sky Riot Playing into their hands Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast The barricades spring up from nowhere Cops in helmets line the lines Shotguns prod into your bellies The trigger fingers want an excuse Now The raging mob has lost its nerve There's more of us but who goes first No one dares to cross the line The cops know that they've won It's all over but not quite The pigs have just begun to fight They club your heads, kick your teeth Police can riot all that they please [Chorus] Riot The unbeatable high Riot Shoots your nerves to the sky Riot Playing into their hands Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Riot The unbeatable high Riot Shoots your nerves to the sky Riot Playing into their hands! [Outro] Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Tomorrow you're homeless Tonight it's a blast Rioting, the unbeatable high
