Looptroop – Freedom Fighters lyrics
"Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/
Fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/
Promoe:
I'm here to give a voice to all the blurred faces/
The ones who vandalize and disturb neighbours/
The ones who go to court and get no legal aid/
Have no rights in society but to keep the evil paid/
The ones that are outlawed worse than Reno Raines/
And make the average Joe on the street demand cleaner trains/
The ones whose history ya'll want to erase/
No history's no future, despair in their face/
The ones who get beat up by police and toy cops/
Like my boys got victims of boycotts/
You claim they're not political but to me/
The whole art form questions private property/
A political crime of passion/
This one is to my train bombing, train trashing...
Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/
Fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/
Chorus:
I represent the spray paint artist/
I can feel your pain and hardships/
I know you're workin' the grave yard shift/
So you can keep that train yard hit/
And though society hate our shit/
And love feh build their great star ships/
I know as long as your brave heart ticks/
It's on your side the creators sits/
Promoe:
You're never home sleepin' always out peepin' the yard/
You doin' whole cars with no guards/
If 5-0 show up do throw ups on po-po's car/
You blow up the precinct if they put you behind bars/
You're smart, no heart for a system that hates you/
You praise true masters like Seen and Phase 2/
You amaze crews and do a one man whole train/
That'll bring fame to your name like John Coltrane/
Disregard cold rain and bad weather you'd better/
Practice your letters cus you gotta get better/
Yo yo get up get out and do something/
You can't sleep cus you wanna become king of bombing/
Equipped with bomb ink and the most fat caps/
And a walkman with Promoes fat rap/
Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/
Fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/
Cosmic:
Who can tell you what you can do and can not?/
Who can beat you down, smash your face and put on hand cuffs?/
Who built the cage and who makes sure you stay in it?/
Who can break the law, break your jaw and get away with it?/
Who sets up trials then calling you a liar?/
Who is out spying preparing train yards with barbed wire?/
Who represent the evil with no regret?/
Who forget about the people and what punishment we get?/
But yo Who is out jumping electrified fences?/
Who is throwing rocks at hidden camera lenses?/
Who is getting raw shitty to get up all city?/
Who is writing graffiti but never admit that they did it?/
Who is discriminated and not told the truth?/
Who's affiliated to killers according to the news?/
Who goes by the names of Suer, Swob and Jeis/
Kaos, Side, Heis, Cake and Obey?/
Who is on the frontline fighting sodomite?/
I gotta say peace to my peeps and all of my...
Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/
Fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/
Chorus
Promoe:
To all my freedom fighters let me see them lighters/
If you're fed up with security guards who beat up writers/
Fed up with seeing your pieces get buffed/
Police that's corrupt and leaders that bluff/
Fed up with a unjust justice system/
We gotta teach our young ones cuss the system/
If you're fed up with the gun busts, cuffs and prisons/
Then let me see you pump pump up your fist son/
Listen, you hear the freedom chimes? Playin' at the speed of rhyme/
Tellin' you to free your mind/
Graffiti is a freedom crime, beautiful and revolutionary/
Suitable for revolutionaries/
On that road seldom travelled by the multitude/
Remember this when the cops come to fuck with you...
Freedom fighters in the streets rock, rock on/
Fighting for freedom, writing for freedom/
