"Not all men" Is what you say when you didn't get the point in the first place "Not all cops" Is what you say when you still think it's not all about race Hashtag Hazard All words matter This is isn't a line or a phrase that should make you so damn uncomfortable Of course all lives matter, of course "not all men" Don't divert, just listen Hashtag hazard All words matter We've never had a voice like this before Think of all the people who hear it And if we had a choice to do more Ask yourself who are the ones who would fear it Hashtag hazard All words matter

You gave him six months and a handshake It's clear who you worked to protect While this privileged shit didn't even fake an ounce of remorse or a sign of regret If the system's rigged I want to know Are you the engineer or the architect? When you heard the words "the damage has been done" You didn't contemplate what that damage was Why were you the only one? Like a dive bar run by a good ol' boys club Using the deplorable excuse that your boy just had too much to drink We can argue all day But it's clear to me the plaintiffs aren't the one that your courtroom's protecting When you heard the words "the damage has been done" You didn't contemplate what that damage was And what a line like "twenty minutes of action" says Action is the name you gave a crime without a consequence Nothing I can say changes these things Nothing you can do serves to absolve you I will limit my acceptance that the truth may be Understood by different people to mean different things Your credibility was lost when you made justice a Cardinal Rule Fuck your school Give up your gavel And leave the courtroom When you heard the words "the damage has been done" You didn't contemplate what that damage was And what a line like "twenty minutes of action" says Action is the name you gave a crime without a consequence Burn down your courtroom

Hell yeah! They're gonna put me in a jail cell. Hell yeah! They're gonna put me on a t-shirt. And the world won't forget what I've done. You've mistaken bigotry for bravery. You're not a fucking martyr, And you don't know what the fuck you're standing for. If you're a vessel of God, than that boy head broke. Don't call yourself saved. Don't call yourself brave. Don't call me depraved. Hell yeah! They're gonna turn me into a meme. I'll be a social media queen. Heard stories like this since the Fables of Faubus And since the 1950's, all that it's taught us There's nothing louder than hate on a high-horse. Raise your hands to the sky. Everyone watch as you cry. You cry for yourself. Tell me what was it supposed to help? To further keep us from equal, Your refusal was just a shitty stopper We kicked out from under the door you kept open for Christ. If it didn't slam in your face, than this queer didn't do their job right. (Do your job right) I know I did mine. I know I did mine. It's not your choice, It's my right. It's not your choice, It's mine.

Kill! Kill! Kill! What a great deal Cereal killer. What a charming neighborhood I've never seen these shops before Artisanal popcorn? What a charming neighborhood! Move out Keep out We're moving in to turn this place around There's so much real estate in this boring town Nobody cares about you Or your home or your kids or your groceries Don't give a fuck where you live But you gotta leave Start a neighborhood watch! What are they still doing here? Don't they realize it's our homes? And they're scaring us. And we can't walk outside alone at night Without feeling like they're watching But I shouldn't be afraid I shouldn't be ashamed What are they still doing here!? Don't they realize it's our homes?! They're scaring us! And we can't walk out alone!

about

Abertooth Lincoln

Abertooth Lincoln was birthed from Chernabog's very womb and unleashed upon Daytons streets like children with clubbed limbs and lazer tongs, ravaging through meat fields with wreckless depravity. Apocalypse alone will squelch their distasteful conquests. ... more
