LYRICS:
Do you recall the Black Panthers in Algiers?
I call this one "Independence Day"
you know,  when you're independent it means you're free
or at least that's how it should be
and remember, I ain't talking about one specific place
or race or state I love or hate
no specificity just talking about human life
since 1962 time is running out
Independence Day
the colonizer's gone
the elevator's broken
and we're still using the stairs to this day
the colonizer's gone elevator's broken
Halfway justice Halfway equality It's a half-ass independence
it's a post-apartheid apartheid
since 1963 time is running out
chickens coming home to roost
saw you spreading hate saw you spreading lies saw you spreading terror
setting up fake alibis
saw you spreading hate saw you spreading lies
saw you terrorizing innocent people
terrorism of the State
there should be a debate
state terrorism is it good terrorism
1964 time still running running running
terrorizing people old-fashioned style like the 1800 hundreds
or like 1492
then you blame it on the terrorists blame it on religion
blame it on everything except your own politics
so much confusion for the street man so much hypocrisy
so much confusion since the Muslim ban so much ferocity
under the color of law
people of color mixed skins anti-Black
you keep us under
under the color of authority
but you're the victim too
yes you're the victim too
since 1965 time is running out anti-blackness is everywhere
anti-natives anti-nomads anti-wilderness racism in Asia in South America
in Africa in Europe in the islands everywhere
everybody's talking changes
things are changing changing
changing changing changing changing
time is running out on bullshit changes
since 1966 time is running out
waiting for real change and real progress
looks like we're moving backwards
do you recall the Black Panthers in Algiers?
Those days were special
do you recall
do you understand
do you comprehend
all the revolutionaries we were together
and together, things were getting better
there ain't no equal rights nowadays and things are getting worse
everybody's crying out for tranquility and ease
none is crying out for justice
no, things are not better
no, things are not together
since 1967you progress depress
you devaluate yourself
you depress digress look at your psyche's mess
you distress regress taking more and giving less
you oppress aggress you bound for a never-ending stress
you process suppress only care about success
since 1968
you was scared by the freedom of the press
talking trash progress unless progress to impress progress to invest
and what about progress protest? and what about progress regrets?
we're blessed with social unrest we're not defenseless
we still possess relentlessness you thought everything was fine yes
you thought your guiltiness would end in some mind recess
but I think you misguessed
since 1969 time is running out
you progress regress distress digress depress oppress
aggress suppress try to impress
about time to stop your meaninglessness.
