Phony actors I dismiss them, when they talk I don't listen
Grinding like a piston, to help flint my mission
First things first, we handcuff the governor
Then put all the mothers, in charge of the government
The mayor was getting bottled water, journalists discovered it
Lead stays in brain, Legionnaires is causing suffering
The schools are falling apart but nothings being spent
Black mold and rats, the teachers had enough of it
The students won't put up with it
Teachers doing sick outs
Reminds me of the 30s, the motor city sit downs
The national guard came with tear gas and bayonets
Money's their puppeteer, they're all marionettes
Then Reagan came, and shipped their jobs overseas
Now you got foreclosed homes and rusty factories
They say they got the truth but their facts are profanities
America where you at? the system never had sanity
So why you looking for the answers from Limbaugh and Hannity?
You can't stop a pact of wolves, this the bonfire of the vanities
Why is it news Cam Newton won't do an interview?
The real news is why governor Snyder won't do one too
He declined to talk and testify to congress
But we got people doing life for weed, the system is a monster
Over a million people came out for the broncos parade
But where's the people for justice, let's pull the mask off the masquerade
In 2014 people couldn't afford their water bill
They shut off the tap but the golf courses had water still
Even though they owed 1000's, this is how the system fails
Then social services came and took sons and daughters
Over a 200 bill because they closed the pipes for water
The UN said it was criminal, the opposite of minimal
Explicit racism, forget the subliminal
Fast forward to the GOP debates in Detroit
Rubio praises the governor, Snyder they anoint
We journalists they don't wanna see us, forget Gilbert Arenas
Shout to Amy Goodman the truth she helps us see it
Flint is thirsty for democracy, death to hypocrisy
It's like They're Greek oligarchs and were all Socrates
No gods, no masters, no one is the boss of me
Shout to flint defense league exposing all the mockery
I hope they throw Snyder in prison and throw the key in the river
So it could corrode, man that's justice delivered
They privatize everything like the logic in their brain
That's why your water is brown and their pockets inflamed
They want IDs for water, they're rules are disgusting
It's time to take the city back cuz they treat people like nothing
They tried to save 5 million by poisoning kids
Then they buried the facts but the truth can't be hid
The people tested the water for lead by themselves
Then held a press conference and told everyone else
Direct action gets the goods that's mutual aid
When we all come together that's when powers afraid
