Checkpoint (Violence)

Checkpoint (Violence)

Violence, violence,

For whatever you ask for my thoughts on,

So don’t ask me, the thought’s gone,

Even in the past it was foregone.

There were sirens, sirens,

Now it’s ’Silence of the migrants’

Tyrants on an island

Looking at the other side like, “Die then.”

Violence, violence,

How gruesome is your past?

I ain’t in the mood for a forecast,

Or whatever the news wanna broadcast,

Cos they just hide em, hide em,

Cos they were standing beside em,

Like, “In this land, they’re an item,

And if they ain’t in the plan you can wipe em!”

Wipe em with violence, violence,

We tried love but that ain’t it,

They’re like “All these others can’t say shit!

Cos of all the stuff we were plagued with!”

I say asylum, asylum,

There’s boats on the horizon,

Poseidon stabbed sons with a trident,

Left lost by the government guidance.

I say we need violence,

So don’t ask for my star sign,

I can’t lie it’s a dark time,

Ours die cos there aren’t lines,

They say ‘It’s a far cry from apartheid!’

They say ‘It’s a far cry from apartheid!’

But we aren’t blind.

Fine.
