<Mother Tareka>
Yo!
but i believe we can make it
to see the new day
one day
of course this is Mother Tareka
Lee Reed
MonkeyWrench
one time!
two time!

We Rock!
rock the cage life put us in
break it open
apply rage like medicine
feds scoping
crosshairs focusing again
but we floating outta range of their bullets and
then we facing'em
diverse tactics disgracing'em
got polluters on the run
plus the banks financing'em
so many of us stepping
it feels like we don't need a gun
the truth is our weapon
war drums we beating'em
for jobs and salaries the earth is killed casually
Indigenous sovereignty's among the first casulties
move on'em radically!
organize massively!
slide past they cavalry!
causing mad havoc we
know thy enemy
thus
step readily
truth
dropped heavily's the tune of our melody
global no 'baladi' (Arabic for local)
dictators gotta flee
ain't none of us are 'til every last one is free!

<chorus>
we live in fear of the doomsday!
so we rock for the new day!
lay roots with the true say!
see a future with us in it!

<Lee Reed>
we move like its ending like life depends on it
live to representative
move that message
movements methodry
no half stepping we
off map repping we
cough infection we
brought mad weaponry
fought the oppression
cops and aggression constant stress of them
modern pressures resistance letterman
protest veterans post that threat of
both coasts go Oakland
with numbers go potent
explosive man the folks broke it open
BO! we want to roll that power move strategy
systems anatomy kicked they nad and then
smack them out of it
megaphone louder than
5-0 Mounties move cities and the counties
township boundaries no doubt we shouting
rooftops and streets the beat keeps bouncing

<Mother Tareka>
we live in fear of the doomsday!
so we rock for the new day!
lay roots with the true say!
see a future with us in it!

<MonkeyWrench>
go figure
go rilla
go form flowtillas
go iller
'gainst these stone cold killers
punch pigs make beats like Dilla's
right on cop heads here's my op ed
don't kill us (don't kill us)
dope dealers
yo and bad students, grad students
you should join the mass movement
that means the land defence and black and trans
and working class movement
that's prudent
in the face of vast illusions
snap to it (snap to it)
we're blocking the intersection with intersectional activism
CBC tells lies of omission but we're in the fact division
who said the left lacks a vision
we got that we just lack stacks to get it
malcontented people need a vehicle for
setting it off
feed em free breakfast like the Panthers then the bets are all off
go make it, go recognize power, go take it
don't fake it, go understand empire, go break it

<Mother Tareka>
we live in fear of the doomsday!
so we rock for the new day!
lay roots with the true say!
see a future with us in!

man, we just trying to live
trying to survive
