RIOT!

from I Know I Waited by Ascidzz

about

This song is about overcoming adversity--maintaining a strong sense of self; not standing for disrespect.

lyrics

(They know they ain't got no business
Fucking around with the
Fucking around with the goat.)


They ain't gone keep talking crazy
Right in front my face
We gone have to say what's up
And not no peaceful shake

Who knows what they took from us,
So yeah we're here to take
Yeah we got them huffing puffing
Like they need a break

We can't sleep evil don't like defeat
They'll give us blankets
I'm a soldier boy,
They hear me on the beat they crank it

Tryna make sure history
Don't repeat generations
How we let us be this weak
Truthfully it's amazing

Who's strapped up, boots strapped up,
Fool act up get stomped
Tick tock, no silly watch better get back
Your boy is a bomb

Forget the gossip I ain't into talking
I'm getting far away from the drama
Ain't a sign to see, here comes cavalry
Sometimes gotta be karma

No surprise would've thought them wise
Tried to give them time I warned ya
Suit and tie won't do this time
I'm fighting for my honor

You will die tryna scrutinize
I think Medusa's my mama
Who is God, my useful guide
I wasn't raised with a father

Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!
Riot! Riot! Riot!

Once we stand up, strength in numbers
Ain't nobody safe
They gone have to put a new roof
Up inside this place

Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!
Riot! Riot! Riot!

Don't be playing with your
Life because it's got a date
But don't let nobody ever
Make you stop your pace
