No Lives Matter - Tom MacDonald
[Pre-Verse]
Hip hop died, it's full of guys who cannot even rap (Facts)
Media dividing us by colours, White or Black (Facts)
If you believe in Jesus, these days Christians get attacked (Facts)
If you don't hate police, then everybody thinks you're wack
[Verse 1]
And everything's so connected
Black Lives Matter got so aggressive
White folks who agree can't support the message
Both sides go to war 'cause they don't respect it
Our social climate from the global tension
Turned to total violence and a whole depression
We could unify and then all go against them
But we let 'em divide us with votes and elections (Ayy)
The music we bump, all about shootin' guns and doin' drugs (Ayy, whoa)
The things that we want are promoted subliminally through the songs
Like, "You need a fast car, you need designer clothes, you need a rap star
To tell you to start poppin' pills, hit the blunt and go live at the club 'til you're broke"
It's all controlled by the elites
Put fake news all over our screens
Convincing the right to go fight with the left
And distract from the fact it's each other we need, uh
Divided by race and religion, segregated into teams, uh
You a white supremacist, if you not, I guess you're ANTIFA
[Chorus]
Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered
Turned us on each other, now no lives matter
If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter
Turn us on each other 'til no lives matter
[Post-Chorus]
Freedom's dead; if you have an opinion, take it back (Facts)
People hate the President; if you don't, then you trash (Facts)
Indoctrinate the nation usin' news and mainstream rap (Facts)
The government abuses us, it's all part of the plan (Facts)
[Verse 2]
And it's so confusing
Black Lives Matter's a valuable movement
But All Lives Matter ain't racist or stupid
It's non-black humans who don't feel included
All colours fall under laws that govern
The whole country and we all suffer
We're all broke and nobody recovers
Until we accept that we're all brothers (Ayy)
The music we make, all about big booties and gettin' paid (Ayy, whoa)
We watch the news and it fills up our brains with violence and riots and race
Like, "This is a race war, you need to hate more, get what you came for
You need some songs about Xanax and violence so you can escape more"
What a vicious cycle we can't break away from
They control the culture, they control the paper
They're indoctrinating a whole generation
'Til the patriots start to hate the nation
The music we love make us dumb and addicted
The news that we watch is brainwashing the children
The viruses, riots, and racist conditions
Ain't problems, they're symptoms of life in the system
[Chorus]
Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered
Turned us on each other, now no lives matter
If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter
Turn us on each other 'til no lives matter
[Bridge]
The music'll make you dumb
The media makes you hate
And they control 'em both
There ain't no escape
They put the world in a state of chaos
Economy crashin' and massive layoffs
Black against White or it's left versus right
Divide and conquer and control is the payoff
[Chorus]
Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered
Turned us on each other, now no lives matter
If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter
Turn us on each other 'til no lives matter
