lyrics

Start like this then I flow Noam Chomsky
Bars icepick but I don't quote Trotsky
Barbed-wire wrists when I go so Moxley
Marx-type shit and you won't go scot-free
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
Wasteful shit they don't know how to count it
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
Tasteful shit when I call or I shout it
Hateful pigs have you all now surrounded
Baseball mit when I ball and I mound it
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
They chat breeze but they don't speak sense none
Know these Muppets are so Jim Henson
So they puppet with no pretension
and loath to mention...
It came from the wire, they're making a fire then
Aim a bit higher, Nadezhda Krupskaya them
Fake on the mic and I'm late to admire them
Make it like Mike when I'm waiting to Myer them
And Red Army Choir them
Like it or not this here rapping inspire them
Fighting them off in the back of the lions den
Try again try again, run at the cops
Arresting our comrades? We're shoving em off
Asking again that we chuck em a rock
Giving these piggies a bucket of slop
Getting revenge for when Duggan was shot
And the piggies pretended and planted that gun in a sock
Fuck em like what
Fuck em for everyone murdered right under their watch
Fuck em and kill em till buckets are spilling of blood from the villains don't chuck em in prison we just have em digging the mud that they'll chill in so trust in our vision of justice we'll give em
That's dumping a pig in cos trust in the system's a juxtaposition, injustices in em
They're playing this track so the juries and judges can listen, the judgment is given
Guilty and radical, filthiest animal
Masked up like Mankind and gripping your mandible
Making these marx when I'm spitting Das Kapital
Manifesto when I'm splitting these manacles
And pinching your valuables
Shit's supernatural
Wisdom when given this casual
Listen to me all these dickheads is flammable
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
Shameful pricks had a ghost write about it
They pulled this from the show and denounced it
Pay's all shit and just blown on the ounces
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
They bought this and they know that they doubted
Played all this now they know where the crown is
Now it's, backs to the wall, heads on the block
Fascists will fall, democrats drop
Liberals are laughable, begging em stop
Isn't it magical, deading the lot
This is satirical, telling the cops
It is a miracle, letting me off
Talking some shit that'll get me in trouble
Like UK Drill artists when flexing the muscle
These federals envy their hustle, and struggle
To hit all these rappers with muzzles
We talk shit bout the law unaccounted
Their rules fit with the trauma recounted
They're all kids and the ballpit's surrounded
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
Painful shit when they're grounded and pounded
A Lou Thesz Press at MSG
We move like Dead Prez - 'Let's Get Free'
The best MC who oppressed MPs
Made em Rest In Peace
Still chat shit and they still chat bollocks
Can't seek peace and we can't seek solace
Lied onscreen tryna hawk their products
Cash For Peers and the whole thing squalid
They write shit when they're paid by Murdoch
Made up shit in the whole damn word doc
Quotes from sources you've not heard of
Focus-grouped and the whole thing workshopped
And my whole fam workhoused
Rich wrote lies how the whole thing worked out
That's still how all their wealth is earnt now
They fly high while the workers burnt-out
They chat shit but they don't chat about shit
They chat shit but they don't give a fuck
(x4)
They talk shit but they don't talk about shit
We lined up to renounce and denounce it
Already told you what the guillotine shouted
Me and my team like Philippine Maoists
They chat shit but they don't chat about shit
They chat shit but they don't chat about shit
Pavlov's House refurbished and grouted
Still spit fire like Growlithe!
