I Think I'm Emma Goldman Emma Goldman, I think I'm Emma Goldman Used to fuck with Karl Marx till I met Emma Goldman My homey Ravi Zupa put me up on game I know why communism always fails Because a power-hungry communist is just as dangerous as a blood-sucking capitalist From gulags to the prison-industrial complex To each his own, no thrones no preachers spreading fantasies God is a myth and man's enslavement is his reality God don't like ugly, god hates itself God hates flags, god hates cops God is a mass murdering sociopath I don't need it to be moral All I need is a library card and a feeling in my gut that says no man is above me Next time you fuck and use a birth control pill thank Emma And the IWW for 8-hour work days and general strikes Before kings stole the land from the peasants we have the commons Private property is a system used to dispossess people from their needs That's why poverty is pandemic and capitalism can't eliminate crime Ain't nothing fair in debt slavery and bribes Emma Goldman, I know I'm no Emma Goldman She opened up a ice cream shop to fund an assassin That's gangsta Welcome to the new black scare Shouts out to the northwestern grand jury resistors They say anarchism can't work But all anarchists do is put in work Not for money, but out of necessity Imagine a world where you could follow your passions A federation, built on community Shouts to Occupy Sandy stepping in with mutual aid You'd find out you were an anarchist if you took the time to read While academics debate tactics We shutting down the Keystone XL Pipeline We plant gardens in the projects They push us to the sidewalks and we take the streets We strike debt We can bring things back to normal, or we can do the opposite We can bicker over differences or we can fuck up shit cuz shits fucked up and bullshit In the 1800s anarchists were libertines Only in America are libertarians an arm of the right wing They put a gun in your face and tell you to be non violent But ignorance is violence And who spreads ignorance through public schools? And sends the poor to die overseas to steal more shit For you know who You know who If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal She said that 100 years ago Ain't shit changed but the manufacturers of weapons Ain't shit changed they replaced churches with banks & mainstream news This government was designed to over rule the mob So we mobs design to over rule the government Emma Goldman I think I'm Emma Goldman In the belly of the beast made that motherfucker sick Emma Goldman I must be doing something wrong if the feds ain't on my dick You can say I'm guilty of propping up a cult of personality But I'm a Malcolm X man, "by any means necessary" Avant gardists might say I'm dumbing it down But Emma didn't speak in academic riddles; she spoke in the common tongue No future utopias we building it now Horizontally, no 10,000 MLKS ain't getting popped Red & black all day I'm a Kropotkin man myself The streets is my public offices where I plan my attack You rap, we plot, you vote we act I'll never say bitch in a song again LIBERAL
