Lyrics for The Black Broadcast

People are listening, and we are lacking leadership Who are we gonna listen to? What are we gonna feed our own news cycle? It's our job to read the duplicity behind the words But it's hard to understand a language we can't speak We don't even have a nationally recognized form to broadcast All we see are the bulletins that highlight the codes Generating the sectarian DNA strain found in all racists The only channel we ever had is our art, as long as we finance it It's essential that we amplify the broadcast to eradicate The ignorance empowering the world
