No Lives Matter

Tom MacDonald first teased this song/music video a day before its release on Instagram, announcing the cover art of the single & saying the following:… Read More [Verse 1]

Hip hop died, it's full of guys who cannot even rap (Facts)

Media dividing us by colours, White or Black (Facts)

If you believe in Jesus, these days Christians get attacked (Facts)

If you don't hate police, then everybody thinks you're wack

And everything's so connected

Black Lives Matter got so aggressive

White folks who agree can't support the message

Both sides go to war 'cause they don't respect it

Our social climate from the global tension

Turned to total violence and a whole depression

We could unify and then all go against them

But we let 'em divide us with votes and elections (Ayy)

The music we bump, all about shootin' guns and doin' drugs (Ayy, whoa)

The things that we want are promoted subliminally through the songs

Like, "You need a fast car, you need designer clothes, you need a rap star

To tell you to start poppin' pills, hit the blunt and go live at the club 'til you're broke"

It's all controlled by the elites

Put fake news all over our screens

Convincing the right to go fight with the left

And distract from the fact it's each other we need, uh

Divided by race and religion, segregated into teams, uh

You a white supremacist, if you not, I guess you're ANTIFA

[Chorus]

Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered

Turned us on each other, now no lives matter

If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter

Turn us on each other 'til no lives matter

[Verse 2]

Freedom's dead; if you have an opinion, take it back (Facts)

People hate the President; if you don't, then you trash (Facts)

Indoctrinate the nation usin' news and mainstream rap (Facts)

The government abuses us, it's all part of the plan (Facts)

And it's so confusing

Black Lives Matter's a valuable movement

But All Lives Matter ain't racist or stupid

It's non-black humans who don't feel included

All colours fall under laws that govern

The whole country and we all suffer

We're all broke and nobody recovers

Until we accept that we're all brothers (Ayy)

The music we make, all about big booties and gettin' paid (Ayy, whoa)

We watch the news and it fills up our brains with violence and riots and race

Like, "This is a race war, you need to hate more, get what you came for

You need some songs about Xanax and violence so you can escape more"

What a vicious cycle we can't break away from

They control the culture, they control the paper

They're indoctrinating a whole generation

'Til the patriots start to hate the nation

The music we love make us dumb and addicted

The news that we watch is brainwashing the children

The viruses, riots, and racist conditions

Ain't problems, they're symptoms of life in the system

[Chorus]

Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered

Turned us on each other, now no lives matter

If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter

Turn us on each other 'til no lives matter

[Bridge]

The music'll make you dumb

The media makes you hate

And they control 'em both

There ain't no escape

They put the world in a state of chaos

Economy crashin' and massive layoffs

Black against White or it's left versus right

Divide and conquer and control is the payoff

[Chorus]

Screaming from the rooftops, beatdown, battered

Turned us on each other, now no lives matter

If we do what the news wants, blood gon' splatter

Turn us on each other 'til no lives matter
