Young Mvchetes - Wolves Lyrics

YOUNG MVCHETES
Here's a proper introduction
Here to snap you out of your hypnotic self-consumption
Feeding on the bosom of your media's instruction
Double-Ds so you don't second guess their place in this discussion or destruction
Dependent all on your perspective
In a time and age when truth is merely a subjective
And listening to the message in only clips of 30 seconds fills us all with the knowledge
That we're willingly participant in
What?
But really, what?
Can you say that this is really what you want?
Is this utopia or have you given up
All become complacent and addicted to the war
Huh?
This is really how it feels, though
When I'm watching you react to the video
Of the police putting bullets in the backs of
Men like Crutcher, Scott, Sterling, or Philando
And then the refugees are begging for our help
But we're too scared to take them in
We say that they can save themselves
And not to push the issue further, but remember 9/11?
So, we don't trust nobody now that bear the brown skin
And is this happening?
Really, is this happening?
Is this just a hell, or is this America at its happiest
Or is this just a dream, from which we all need to wake up
Or is it the government, to which we need to rise up

And do we need a revolution to save us
Or are we better off staying asleep?
Must we all become awakened packs of wolves
Or are we better off living as sheep?
I say, we need a revolution to save us
Before we're better off staying asleep
So bare your teeth
We're the packs of wolves
Creepin' to the capitol to kill all the sheep

Tell all the sheep
We're getting organized and stronger
YOUNG MVCHETES
Here to keep the message growing louder
Put drugs in the cities and make our TV screens look pretty
But the only thing succeeding is the anger of the citizens now
We're acting out, and we don't give a f*ck of what you will or won't allow
Because if taking a knee is disrespectful
All the other ways won't get us respect, though
And though you praise Martin for getting it right
You wouldn't be caught dead standing by his side
In 1965 when he was getting beat in the street
After crossing Edmund Pettis Bridge with 1,200 feet
You'd run them all right over in your Subaru™
Like you said in the comments when you saw the news
Of protestors blocking bridges in Brooklyn

"But that's different, 'cause I have to pay attention
When I'd rather ignore and play the 9 to 5
And just pray that America is fair and right
'Cause acknowledging the problem is just laziness
Just work harder and accept your role and place in this!"

Is this happening?
Really, is this happening?
Is this just a hell, or is this our country at its happiest
Or is this just a dream, from which we all need to wake up
Or is it the media, to whom we need to rise up

And do we need a revolution to save us
Or are we better off staying asleep?
Must we all become bloodthirsty packs of wolves
Or are we better off living as sheep?
I say, we need a revolution to save us
Before they kill us all in our sleep
So bare your teeth
We're the packs of wolves
Creepin' to the capitol to kill all the sheep
