Promoe - Freedom Fighters lyrics
"Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/ fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/ Promoe: I'm here to give a voice to all the blurred faces/ the ones who vandalize and disturb neighbours/ The ones who go to court and get no legal aid/ have no rights in society but to keep the evil paid/ The ones that are outlawed worse than Reno Raines/ and make the average Joe on the street demand cleaner trains/ The ones whose history ya'll want to erase/ no history's no future, despair in their face/ The ones who get beat up by police and toy cops/ like my boys got victims of boycotts/ you claim they're not political but to me/ the whole art form questions private property/ A political crime of pa**ion/ this one is to my train bombing, train trashing... Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/ fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/ Chorus: I represent the spray paint artist/ I can feel your pain and hardships/ I know you're workin' the grave yard shift/ so you can keep that train yard hit/ And though society hate our sh**/ and love feh build their great star ships/ I know as long as your brave heart ticks/ It's on your side the creators sits/ Promoe: You're never home sleepin' always out peepin' the yard/ you doin' whole cars with no guards/ If 5-0 show up do throw ups on po-po's car/ you blow up the precinct if they put you behind bars/ You're smart, no heart for a system that hates you/ you praise true masters like Seen and Phase 2/ You amaze crews and do a one man whole train/ that'll bring fame to your name like John Coltrane/ Disregard cold rain and bad weather you'd better/ practice your letters cus you gotta get better/ Yo yo get up get out and do something/ you can't sleep cus you wanna become king of bombing/ Equipped with bomb ink and the most fat caps/ and a walkman with Promoes fat rap/ Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/ fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/ Cosmic: Who can tell you what you can do and can not?/ Who can beat you down, smash your face and put on hand cuffs?/ Who built the cage and who makes sure you stay in it?/ Who can break the law, break your jaw and get away with it?/ Who sets up trials then calling you a liar?/ Who is out spying preparing train yards with barbed wire?/ Who represent the evil with no regret?/ Who forget about the people and what punishment we get?/ but yo Who is out jumping electrified fences?/ Who is throwing rocks at hidden camera lenses?/ Who is getting raw sh**ty to get up all city?/ who is writing graffiti but never admit that they did it?/ Who is discriminated and not told the truth?/ Who's affiliated to k**ers according to the news?/ Who goes by the names of Suer, Swob and Jeis/ Kaos, Side, Heis, Cake and Obey?/ Who is on the frontline fighting sodomite?/ I gotta say peace to my peeps and all of my... Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/ fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/ Chorus Promoe: To all my freedom fighters let me see them lighters/ if you're fed up with security guards who beat up writers/ Fed up with seeing your pieces get buffed/ police that's corrupt and leaders that bluff/ Fed up with a unjust justice system/ we gotta teach our young ones cuss the system/ If you're fed up with the gun busts, cuffs and prisons/ then let me see you pump pump up your fist son/ Listen, you hear the freedom chimes? playin' at the speed of rhyme/ tellin' you to free your mind/ Graffiti is a freedom crime, beautiful and revolutionary/ suitable for revolutionaries/ On that road seldom travelled by the multitude/ remember this when the cops come to f** with you... Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/ fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/ Chorus "
