Extinction A.D. - Thirteen

Culture of mass incarceration, alarming rise of the population
Exploitation feeds the economy, shackled in the land of the free
Birth of a nation Death to civilization
Living each day under the threat of death, justice system weaponizing dissent
We are the products of history, written in blood and disparity
Movements destroyed systematically, criminalized by the blitzkrieg
Lock down all those who'd lead them, in a land that professes freedom
Thinly veiled racial appeals, threatening archaic ideals
Justice delayed is justice denied, pleas based in fear violate human rights
The racial caste has been redesigned under our noses labeled as war on crime
We are the products of history, written in blood and disparity
Movements destroyed systematically, criminalized by the blitzkrieg
Blitzkrieg
Rhetoric of law and order are smokescreens for persecution

you can jail revolutionaries, but you can't jail the revolution - Fred Hampton
Movements destroyed systematically, criminalized by thirteen
We are slaves to history, drenched in blood and disparity
Movements destroyed systematically, criminalized by thirteen
