burn it down lyrics
[verse 1]
it’s just heritage, worship a confederate war lord
melt the bronze to bullets and armor the poor
give the oppressed a badge and a vest (uh)
watch a billionaire stumbling and grabbing his chest
yet we ingest the blue pill from capitol hill
then after the k!ll, who you think they slap with the bill?
whose wallets fatten as prison establishments fill?
storm the castle, sn*tch all of the cash from the till
a traffic stop’s training for the firing squad
the reign of terror in america just hidеs behind god
living in fear of the rеar view mirror
bring in tear gas and riot gear when there’s melanin near
they raping lady justice and it’s tipping her scale
give her sword to the white jury, then rip off her veil
the prison cell cotton field gavels the whip
a cage surrounds a minority voting district

[pre chorus]
the street’s the stage
the riot’s the mic
the blood the gasoline that floods the city tonight
the street’s the stage
the riot’s the mic
the masses spitting fire watch the city ignite
[chorus]
burn it down!
burn it down!
burn it down!
and we rise out the ashes from the underground
burn it down!
burn it down!
burn it down!
yeah we rise out the ashes from the underground

[verse 2]
the ticket quota is toe tags and body bags
gag every dissenter with the cloth of the flag
red rivers of blood, stain white hoods and rags
while blue excuses the consequence of emptying mags
into innocent citizens raising a fist
to politicians living off of paraphrasing a list
yeah, gather your millions for special interests
’til the landfill’s spilling with drowning children
aw, the floods don’t reach the ivory tower
’til the heavens open up and spit that fiery shower
beware the mobs coming million miles an hour
feel the silk tighten, if you try to deny me the power
so whose the one guilty of pillaging loot
the one under the bridge or the punk in the suit?
they sell ya the needle, and the noose and the jail
then they pay the bail for the too big to fail
[pre chorus]
the street’s the stage
the riot’s the mic
the blood the gasoline that floods the city tonight
the street’s the stage
the riot’s the mic
the masses spitting fire watch the city ignite

[chorus]
burn it down!
burn it down!
burn it down!
and we rise out the ashes from the underground
burn it down!
burn it down!
burn it down!
yeah we rise out the ashes from the underground

[outro]
there’s a rip in the fabric
as the fireworks sing
there’s a gash from the stone
that goliath’s nursing
the cacophony of laughter
while their piety’s rings
are being sn*tched by the oligarchy’s
righteous instincts
there’s a rip in the fabric
as the fireworks sing
there’s a gash from the stone
that goliath’s nursing
the cacophony of laughter
while their piety’s rings
are being sn*tched by the oligarchy’s
righteous instincts
their righteous instincts!
