The Killing Season

Winter in America, never knew white Christmas
'Cause L7 squares always making my shit list
Spring is in the air and all the flowers are blooming
The powers that be wanna devour the movement

Tears disappear when they fall on the summer rain
Bleedin' through this mic, but they call it entertainment
Running across stages is a drug is like a blunt that we crumble in raw papers
Call it the lord's name 'cause we taking it in our veins like the feeding us intravenous

It's war and we fighting for inches and millimeters
They try to stall the progress by killing off all the leaders
If we don't give them martyrs no more, they can't defeat us
This lack of justice got us disgusted, look at our faces

All these soldiers hate but I saw military training
The force flags fly at a half mast this morning
Take a bow, this might be your last performance

They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya

They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya

The old lady saw us on the lawn with the Henny
Turn the pool party into the one from McKinney
Might've been racist like the waitresses up in Denny's
Swore we had twelve gauges, automatics, and semis

Now they wanna condemn me for my freedom of speech
'Cause I see things in black and white like Lisa and Screech

Presidents get impeached and others fill in the throne
But veterans don't get the benefit of feelin' at home

So maybe those projections out at Silicon
Are what drove her to get injections made of silicone
I swear it's the killing season
'Cause killin' is still in season, yeah

Louder than a three pound, voices screaming mad to boot
It must be killing season, on the menu, strange fruit
Whose juices fill the progress of this here very nation
Whose states has grown bitter through justice expiration

These fruitful trees are rooted in bloody soil and torment
Things haven't really changed or they're dormant for the moment
Marks and scars, we own it, only made for tougher skin
Helps us actualize the actual greatness held within

Been on the wrong team so much, can't recognize a win
Seems like my only crime is having melanin
Connection to the sun so strong the relationship is lusted for
Causes men to suffocate, I can't breathe no more

Settle the score sadly, need an abacus to tally
Through all the peaks and valleys, yo, I recognize it sadly
Black soul bold enough, inner city cold enough
Watch me get all my goons, watch us get soldiered up

They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya

They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
They sold ya, sold ya, sold ya
