North Of Richmond (Remix)

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Livin' in the new world with an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just want to have total control

Yeah, give me freedom or give me death
To that we pledge allegiances
We the people had enough, it's time we aired our grievances
Against these treasonous demons so raise the alarm
'Cause the pigs have fully taken over on this animal farm
Don't know anymore
This world's gotten too cold to ignore

Shit, is it 2023 or 1984?
Thought police up at my door to open fire on me but I'd rather
Die on my feet than survive on my knees and please
We know how they lookin' at us from up at the top
The tougher they made it for us
The fuckin' tougher we got
They thought they'd keep us scared forever but fuck it, we not
We'll send 'em back to north of Richmond in some cuffs or a box, bow

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Livin' in the new world with an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just want to have total control

Behind the politicians there's a far more sinister villain
That's power driven
Only answer to money is their religion
They controllin' the way that we livin'
Keepin' us mentally stuck in a prison
So that the fire they know is rebellion
Never can spread whenever it's risen

But they been seein' us wakin' up and now they fuckin' afraid
As we the people get to seein' through their fuckin' charade
We're bein' played by these elites who would rather see us enslaved
As they lead us by the hand where the lands dug with a grave
And they could kill our character through stories they publish
Or they'll just murder us and brand it a suicide to the public
Or an accidental overdose

Print the story, run it
Say it's facts so people trust it
Accept it and move on from it
But it's time to pick a side and get to strikin' a nerve
And any way we're rebel, I'm fightin' this fight with my words
And if they keep pushin', then fuck it, we incitin' the purge
And just to think all we wanted was the rights we deserve

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is
Livin' in the new world with an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just want to have total control

Wanna know what you think
Wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know but I know that you do
Your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond
