Everyone have fun on inauguration day? It was fun. I like the fireworks myself. Nice. This one's called Wake Up.

4. Wake Up

In-Song Dialogue: I've got to expose hypocrisy in my own self. Regain consiscousness of my own self before I can stand up and speak for other individuals who are trying to do the same. There are men in this country who gave us the power to think critically again. There are men in this country who rose up and lifted their minds out of the darkness. And lifted their minds out and showed all of us that we are individuals that can use our minds and our spirit to fight a hypocritical and brutal system. King, using spirit to speak to all of us, regardless of color. Regardless of upbringing and regardless of class, and showed us all that this is a country that for 500 years has murdered, and enslaved, and stolen our land and kept us from seeing ourselves as we truly are. When I began to read X I realized that I don't have to be ashamed of my brown skin. And when he became a threat to this system they fucking shot him! In the 70s where people like Dennis Banks, and people Russel Means, and people like Leonard Peliter stood up for their people in self-defense of their peoples, in self defense of human rights. Their lives were threatened and Leonard Peltier still rots in a jail cell to this very day for speaking for speaking out against those rights. I don't want to sit so complacent. Why don't we fucking act and wake up.
5. Settle For Nothing

Fucking sick, sorry about the delay. If anyone wants to buy shirts we're selling them in a van outside the door. 10 bucks. 8 bucks for short sleeves, 10 bucks for long sleeves or something. This one is called a Bullet in your Head.
