Politics of Responsibility

Intro

Yeah

Check the mic

Hundreds years in the making

Let's get it

Verse 1

Fourteen ninety-two they drew the line

Expulsion from Andalusia, bodies left behind

Columbus sailed with crosses, crusade inside his chest

Settler playin' god while the native pays the debt

Micro-fascisms in my head, I fight 'em every day

Greater jihad on my ego, wash the hate away

Capitalism got the leash, state got the lock

But I'm buildin' community straight out the block

Pre-Chorus

Politics of rights ain't savin' me

Politics of responsibility

Mutual aid, that's the code I keep

Land and neighbor, I don't need no badge to sleep

Chorus

They said 1492 was just the past

Nah, that structure's built to last

Greater jihad, tear it down from inside

Nation-state, that's a lie we gotta die

We gotta die

We gotta die from the inside

Greater jihad, tear it down from inside

Verse 2

State stepped in between me and my brother

Car crash turns to war, can't help one another

Insurance papers, blue lights, courts and fees

They broke the bond so we could beg on our knees

Racial capitalism, it's all by design

They took the land, they took the language, took the shrine

But the grassroots grow where the concrete crack

Anarchist love, we ain't never gettin' that back? Nah

Pre-Chorus

Politics of rights ain't savin' me

Politics of responsibility

Mutual aid, that's the code I keep

Land and neighbor, I don't need no badge to sleep

Chorus

They said 1492 was just the past

Nah, that structure's built to last

Greater jihad, tear it down from inside

Nation-state, that's a lie we gotta die

We gotta die

We gotta die from the inside

Greater jihad, tear it down from inside

Bridge

Arab Spring bloomed, then they pulled the roots

Deep organizing missin', state still got the loot

You can't takeover what was built to consume

Better build a new world in the empty room

Drop

Build it

Build it

Build it from the ground

Build it

Build it

Build it from the ground

Outro

(Greater jihad)

(Greater jihad)

History ain't gone

It's in my bones

Yeah
