Burn This Bitch Down
(Coz I don't dance to your tune no mo')
"We don't need no water let the motherf***er burn"--Bloodhound Gang
I ain't marching for Trayvon,
I ain't marching for Mike,
I ain't marching for queers,
Ain't marching for dykes.
I ain't marching for no one
With some fake PhDicks--
F*** your Jacksons and Sharptons,
F*** your Lakers and Knicks.
I ain't marching for Cosby,
Raping rising young stars,
If it weren't for his money
He'd rot behind bars.
I ain't marching for no one,
I've heard enough jive
From the ones who make millions,
While we slave nine to five.
I ain't marching for no one,
Farrakhan, MLK,
Karl Marx or Obama,
Malcolm X, JFK.
I ain't marching for Marley,
Crosby, Stills, Nash or Young--
No, I'd rather be broke,
Stoned or drunk.
I don't need your empowering
Multicultural lie,
Where the rich f*** the poor,
While the poor just die.
