Sage Francis - Conspiracy To Riot Lyrics






They wanna corrupt me. They tried to corrupt me.
This ain't no Swan Song. This is for the ugly ducklings of my country.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE HERE!
'psst psst; conspiracy to riot.'

Peep the game, dummy. You can't keep the reign from me.
It's us who put in the over time, they who make the money.
Snickering at trickle down economy.
We got nickled and dimed? It's more like highway robbery.
Drive in the fast lane. Eyes on the gas gauge.
Listen to neo-cons cry about black rage.
It doesn't stop there.
They're the blowhards. They puff out their chest. They're full of hot air.
Providing entertainment for the status quo.
Then once every 4 years they pander to the black vote.
Oh, religion ain't a tool of control?
Then why they pull the God card once they're losing in the polls?
Foolish. I know. We're victims of circumstance.
It ain't coincidence we're children of the worker ants.
While those in power ain't never owned a pair of dirty pants
But they're quick to kill your health insurance plans.
The rich cheat death with their cheap survival.
They found more than one way to beat the Bible.
Street disciple... my beats are trifle mega.
Don't repeat the cycle, just live your life better.
I'm gonna defeat my rival. That's why I'm writing this letter
to let em know we ain't givin' up the fight ever.

'psst psst; conspiracy to riot'

They wanna corrupt me. They tried to corrupt me.
This ain't no Swan Song. This is for the ugly ducklings of my country.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE HERE!
'psst psst; conspiracy to riot.'

Oh yeah; I've got a weapon of mass destruction';
Parked in the back and it's a vessel of gas consumption.
Rebels of rap production never adapted to nothing.
Imagine my laugh whenever ask me for something.
Like I ain't gave it my all.
You came fashionably late to the headbanger's ball.
After the mob scene lost steam,
And after we spilled pig's blood on the prom queen.
I've been told with old age comes wisdom,
But I've found with old age comes old age.
We're stuck in our old ways like everything was done much better
in some forgotten era. Thumb sucking America.
I can't begin to name the ways I'd pin the blame
on an administration acting inhumane.
If it's killing season let's start within.
When the hunter becomes the hunted they outlaw hunting (ain't that something.)
Confiscate the ammunition!
Cuz there's a wolf in sheep's skin. A pit bull with lipstick.
A pig in a blanket. Some lame duck President
privatizing profit and socializing debt.
Collapsed credit. Journalists get arrested.
Watch the Blackwater operatives go domestic.
Oh, that's a problem? Well don't agonize.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em. A whole pack of lies.
Summer spring and autumn. Now bring the wintertime.
I don't protest snow. I shovel it with picket signs.

'psst psst; conspiracy to riot'

They wanna corrupt me. They tried to corrupt me.
This ain't no Swan Song. This is for the ugly ducklings of my country.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE HERE!


We have the right to assembly and it's the duty of the patriot
to protect his country from the government.
But when we try it; but when we try it;
But when we try it;
it's CONSPIRACY TO RIOT!

Peace rally with my friends. Conspiracy to riot.
When we have no defense. Conspiracy to riot.
Rubber bullets to our heads. Conspiracy to riot.
Conspiracy to riot. Conspiracy to riot.

When we find voter fraud. Conspiracy to riot.
When we defy overlords. Conspiracy to riot.
When we finally pull the cord. Conspiracy to riot.
Conspiracy to riot. Conspiracy to riot.

'Til the truth is revealed. Conspiracy to riot.
We ain't choosing to kneel. Conspiracy to riot.
Let me be the human shield. Conspiracy to riot.
Conspiracy to riot. Conspiracy to riot.

    .....and we rise.

    J.... J....

    Before being slapped back down by assault rifles, chemicals weapons, neurological weapons, physiological weapons, body armour, armoured vehicles and drones. And that's just state police. Nevermind the fighter/bomber/stealth jets and helicopters, the missiles/bombs, the Gatling guns, the depleted uranium ammo, the tanks, etc that the army would bring with them.

    This isn't the 14th century. The peasants can't just grab some pitchforks and revolt - the establishment's equipment, training and experience are much better than yours. The only hope for an uprising in the modern world is to have either the police or army on the side of the people. Even then, it's only a hope.

    :]

    if police show up in riot gear then citizens should show up in make-shift riot gear and fight back no?

    e.... ....

    Look up the quiet revolution

  15. w.... c....

    US was founded on violent protest.

  16. M.... B....

    India and the U.S civil rights movement. Nonviolence is the only option if you want to succeed without losing your way.

  17. T.... ....

    ⸮But dude, the ends justify the means.⸮

  18. m.... b....

    violence is faster

  19. S.... S....

    let me try word it this way. the problem with today's rioting is that it's too impulsive and badly planned. while the government enhanced their rioting suppressing means: logistics, equipment and comprehensive training, regulations giving them freedom to use brutality and force to scare people away... we're outstripped at every point even tho rioters always outnumber by far the riot squads. we need new approaches, modern, to make us more fit to fight back. if not severe repression is ahead.

  20. S.... S....

    um no, the iceland revolution was not peaceful. people actually rioted day and night, charged on government buildings and even resorted to vandalism prompting swift action from authorities which later led to arrests of the responsible parties and a shift in policies which favoured people rather than corporations and financial cartels. iceland is an unusual anomaly, a healthy one at that!

  21. W.... N....

    The iceland revolution was peaceful.

  22. s.... m....

    You are easily pleased then

  23. D.... ....

    Aw, you got mad at my 2 year old comment. I'm flattered!

  24. s.... m....

    Name a revolution that has started through sitting at home posting on youtube threads please ?

  25. b.... ....

    lol, wtf. I'm communicating through rogers....we're f**ked.

  26. b.... ....

    IDLE NO MORE! World-wide movement. Fight for the future. Live in harmony and peace. Think of the future generations people. Things are progressivly getting worse. Stop staring at those stupid I-Phones and stop supporting these demonic corporations. Rogers for example. They got control and we need to take it back.

  27. O.... ....

    What if the government does raise their fists ?

  28. a.... ....

    He did but thats not what granted them independence, it brought awareness.
    "India House in London set up by Shyamjikrihan Verma, a disciple of Swami Dayanand, produced revolutionaries like Veer Sawarkar, Hardyal, Bhagat Singh, Madan Lal Dhingra, Udham Singh etc. who created a sense of fear amongst the Britishers about the safety of their lives through a violent revolution."

  29. a.... ....

    "without the police we have no saftey. Rules are there to protect us, though some constrict us"
    People should protect people. When did being a good samaritan become so hard to fathom? Law enforcement is necessary to an extent. But what America really needs is a solid, non corrupt judicial system. Not these 10000's of bills and statutes with underlying oppression.
    "He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither" Benjamin Franklin

  30. C.... J....

    If this ever happens again in my community, I will tooth and nail! (Sorry honey. I sat on the fences last time)

  31. D.... V....

    umm.... Gandhi? he did a pretty good job with a passive movement

    "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - JFK

  34. J.... M....

    Finally some fucking clarity, well said mate!

  35. J.... M....

    Current day society (i.e that that is based on minority control of the means of production) may well fall apart without the police, thats why they exist, but that doesn't mean that a future society would require a coercive state in order to function.

  36. R.... P....

    these lyrics are nothing on 'Baby, baby, baby ooooooh'.. fuck mainstream ay

  37. a.... ....

    You're absolutely right. There should be no police. As a matter of fact, no law enforcers of any kind whatsoever. The gangsters, drug dealers, racketeers, murders, thieves, mafia, crime lords, religious fanatics determined to cause mass panic & death, and both foreign & domestic enemies aren't a serious nor dangerous threat. Peaceful, unarmed law abiding citizens are more than capable of protecting themselves and their families.

  38. P.... ....

    Germany 1989.
    Not a single bullet was shot
    Not a single Policeman was attacked
    Millions were on the streets
    The whole state was falling because of the masses of peaceful protests

    Raise your voice, not your fists!
    We might have none, but we are the power!

  39. P.... R....

    @negatyve The Velvet Revolution.

  40. M.... ....

    @MrAlexSamson Lets go peacefully protest wall street *police beat the fuck out of protesters* "oh police protect us. No. FUCK THE POLICE

  41. B.... S....

    Currently relevant.

  42. F.... ....

    @MrAlexSamson our society is falling apart, police or not (by the way, they're not there to protect us, neither are rules), capitalism and money is the problem, time to transcend this shit and transition to a new system, check out a resource based economy

  43. N.... R....

    @MrAlexSamson You are kidding right?

  44. k.... ....

    NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE, FUCK THE POLICE

  45. D.... D....

    @MrAlexSamson A decent answer.....
    But I can take counter that with when Georgia (The country not State) fired all police
    The countries crime Decreased dramaticlly, Police if left unchecked, get to much power
    Thats why a periodic check is required (Checks and Balances)

    Anyways apart from that could ya'll check out my music, just click my name, and see my music
    Rate comment hate, do whatevs
    Much appreciated thx ya'll

  46. k.... n....

    @Jackybones Kill cops, Sorry for your loss btw

  47. k.... n....

    @MrAlexSamson Nope fuck cops all day. The police have made my life much harder and worse than any regular person ever has. Think about that. I've met about 3 officers who were genuinely good men, the rest I would put bullets in given the chance. Stop being ignorant.

  48. o.... L....

    this dude has a beast flow, this guys good.. why isnt he more famous.....

  49. D.... ....

    @Azterrath Just stating a fact. I can also assure you that you can't conceive a child by practicing celibacy.

  50. I.... ....

    damnn, this is like what happened in london!

  51. D.... ....

    @barrelracingbrick man.. we don't "really run this country" they respect the business corporations and the enterprises who do.. and that's what's sad..

  52. j.... f....

    Yet people are still peaceful with the Police... Why?

  53. b.... ....

    @barrelracingbrick Better to learn it young my friend. Now you can fight it

  54. H.... ....

    @stophypocrisy because it gives us power

  55. K.... D....

    Man, you think our government could have a little respect for the 'people' who REALLY run the country?
    I mean really this country is more corrupt than it looks.
    Oh, and whatever happened to 'we the people'?
    Gosh, I even know about all of this shit and I'm 15.

  56. D.... D....

    what's up with that website, when i go to it most of the links require an account, and you can't even make one?!

  57. s.... m....

    @stophypocrisy they dont hate you, they just need to control you

  58. G.... ....

    @BenWat17 I'm more worried about police brutality or getting arrested on a trumped up charge than a robber. Plus, you've probably never been robbed if you actually think the cops will be any help. My apartment was robbed, breaking and entering. The police couldn't do shit. Unless you live in a small town, that's the norm and not the exception.

  59. L.... ....

    @negatyve Haitian.

  60. D.... ....

    @thevintagebeholder Name a revolution that was won with hand holding and sign shaking. The history books like to rewrite movements like the civil rights movement or the anti-colonial movement in India as examples of pacifist ideals winning over a brutal regime, and completely ignore the fact that things did not change until there was violence. There's a reason why the establishments wants you to think pacifism is the only right way to redress grievances...it's because you're easy to ignore.

  61. F.... ....

    @BenWat17 The chance of me getting robbed is rather low, the chance of a police officer fucking with me just because he can is rather high.

  62. C.... ....

    @BenWat17 Ghostbusters!! xD

  63. B.... ....

    Wouldn't it be ironic if all these people saying "fuck the police" got robbed tonight? Then what? Who are you going to call?

  64. C.... ....

    @codemanyea violence can be used for justice

  65. 3.... ....

    @BillyTuskan Fuck da ignorant narcissistic (ops, thats half america) cops who dont know what they doing. and... freemasons... illuminati... "The new world order".

  66. s.... ....

    this makes me sick

  67. P.... ....

    @MrAlexSamson
    Would that be really so bad,if this big pile of shit (that you call society) would fall apart?
    Start thinking,and stop being silly.
    Rules are there to break them,they are the chains for your mind.
    Police has the chains for your body. You need to break them too.
    But nobody can chain your soul.Not even God.
    Your soul is already free.Learn to listen to it.

  68. s.... ....

    master master

  69. A.... S....

    Although I applaud sages diversity of his music, his video isn't supposed to be interpreted as "fuck the police" it's more a message that we shouldn't give up on our beliefs. It makes me sad to see comments like that, without the police we have no saftey. Rules are there to protect us, though some contrict us. Stop being ignorant and think for a minute, that if the Police weren't there our society would fall appart. stop being silly

  70. D.... M....

    get a grip everyone we are in three of the fucking longest wars in american history and yet we dont do shit about it

  71. F.... ....

    @fistfullofhope Typical ignorance. You claim to fight the system yet you only know how to take out your aggression on the most 'obvious' deterrent to your cause. You can kill as many cops as you want, they are just cogs in a machine who are conditioned to protect the status quo just like how you protect the same system when you purchase from large corporations.

    You are blind if you think that getting rid of cops would make any difference.

  72. J.... K....

    deep, discussing, real.

  73. S.... ....

    All cops should die, even the good ones.

  74. i.... ....

    @skatewithamate the ten thumbs up he has shows that there were 10 other kids as sad as him. just enjoy the song without having to explain how you got there

  75. i.... ....

    @TheBurnerb34 noone cares

  76. D.... ....

    WingsofRedemption !

  77. F.... ....

    Cops are the biggest rioters in forever.

  78. C.... ....

    police are people that have douch bags in their place

  79. s.... ....

    fuck fema

  80. G.... B....

    @goatboytone I know this is an old comment I'm replying to, but Seoul will be hosting the G20 Summit soon if I'm not mistaken, I expect to see something damn good!

  81. G.... B....

    @eskimofyre Or we can kill the politicians and people like you and fix shit?

  82. C.... ....

    you are a genius

  83. a.... ....

    which 4 assholes disliked this vid?
    CIA/FBI informants ;)

  84. T.... S....

    Some cops deserved the attacks. Some protesters deserved the excessive force. Honestly it is the government telling them what to do and they are just doing their job. The ones who enjoy beating people are demonic. There are ones though who may have went home and cried for using forc. Remember who holds the police's leash and if we were to persuade the police to break from the government, we would have a powerful ally. If you talk about killing cops, you are no better than the ones you criticize.

  85. s.... ....

    "I got a weapon of mass destruction,
    parked in the back, a vessel of gas consumption."
    SICK

  86. G.... P....

    fuck the government and their bullshit

  87. J.... ....

    That is a fucking hard video, had my heart pumping the whole time. Free country my ass.

  88. M.... I....

    The DNC was just as bad. Remember BOTH parties don't give a shit about you. Electing people that hail from political dynasties is no different than electing MONARCHS.
    It isn't LEFT Vs. RIGHT... it is the STATE Vs. YOU

  89. H.... F....

    This is why America is number one, right?
    Because nobody ever does anything about police brutality.

  90. J.... R....

    America FUCK YEAH!

  91. B.... ....

    Fuck the police!!!!

  92. r.... ....

    oh, but I do my friend. I COMPLETELY understand.

  93. m.... ....

  95. A.... ....
