Lyrics
[rap verse]
Revolutionary suicide, don't misconstrue the vibe,
Ain't about a death wish, we strive to stay alive,
We got that fire in our souls, hope burns bright,
In a world of darkness, we illuminate the night.
Human dignity, that's our currency,
Existence without it? That's absurd to me,
Reactionary forces try to crush our dreams,
But we rise, we fight, bursting at the seams.
[chorus]
Driven out with a stick, but we never quit,
We stand tall, resistance is lit,
Hope and dignity, that's our creed,
Unyielding resolve, we bleed to be freed.
[instrumental breakdown with synths]
[rap verse]
When they push us to the edge, we push back harder,
For every fallen comrade, we become smarter,
Our desire to live, it's unstoppable,
Reactionary forces? We make 'em topple.
They see our strength, they fear our unity,
Every move we make, it's for our community,
Driven out with sticks, but we hold the line,
Every struggle, every fight, it's by design.
[chorus]
Driven out with a stick, but we never quit,
We stand tall, resistance is lit,
Hope and dignity, that's our creed,
Unyielding resolve, we bleed to be freed.
[instrumental breakdown with synths]
[bridge]
Life without hope, that's a living death,
So we rise, we resist, till our last breath,
Dignity, respect, that's our battle cry,
For the fallen, for the future, we defy.
[rap verse]
In the face of oppression, we find our might,
Unyielding spirits, we ignite,
Every strike, every march, a step to freedom,
In the face of death, we find our reason.
Existence without hope, that's impossible,
So we strive, we fight, till the impossible's probable,
Driven out with sticks, but we return stronger,
Revolutionary suicide, our lives get longer.
[chorus]
Driven out with a stick, but we never quit,
We stand tall, resistance is lit,
Hope and dignity, that's our creed,
Unyielding resolve, we bleed to be freed.

[instrumental interlude]
[rap verse]
Aaron Bushnell, a tale of tragic despair,
Lost in the system, no one seemed to care,
Mental health crisis, a product of the times,
Alienation's grip, in these late stage crimes.
Pathology rewarded, ethics cast aside,
Mainstream propaganda feeding fear worldwide,
But amidst the chaos, the human spirit thrives,
Yearning for a better way, in our hearts it survives.
[chorus]
Driven out with a stick, but we never quit,
We stand tall, resistance is lit,
Hope and dignity, that's our creed,
Unyielding resolve, we bleed to be freed.
[rap verse]
Late stage capitalism, a breeding ground for pain,
Material gains, but human loss is the chain,
Alienation deepens, pathology in command,
But we rise against it, a unified stand.
Mainstream fear, a tool to control,
But the unbreakable spirit, it takes its toll,
We yearn for justice, for a life worth living,
Unyielding resolve, our ultimate giving.
