Spit Syndicate Not In My Name (feat. Radical Son)
[Sample: Senator Scott Ludlam]
"The truth is... this benighted attempt at a government are a temporary phenomenon. This too... will pass, and we need to keep our eyes on the bigger picture. And, perhaps most profoundly, your determined campaign to provoke fear in our community—fear of innocent families fleeing war and violence in our region—in the hope that it would bring out the worst in Australians is instead bringing out the best
[Chorus 1: Nick Lupi]
So I tell 'em we won't stand
Tell 'em we won't break
Until they close the camps, until they change the date
Say it simple and plain
Not in my name
[Verse 1: Nick Lupi]
This rhyme was designed by the villainy
Inside me leading me blindly
I won't go quietly or, tow, the line like symmetry
Kinda bittersweet, been on the wrong side of history
With the right lottery ticket to coast by blissfully
But me I do it differently, I never endorsed
The deals that they've done in our name, detention offshore
Never again, yeah we've said before
This Apple rotten to the core, it's not something we should be settling for
(My people want more) We want more, had enough of your talk
Y'all have set us back years, now it's time it's brought forward
Call it for what it is, listen we ain't falling for it
Don't need anymore reports just to sit in your draw
I'm calling for a plague on both houses, I douse both houses
The flames so big the military planes gotta around it
We got the place surrounded, the change we sing about
Let's bring about it, only one way we coming out it
[Chorus 2: Radical Son (Nick Lupi)]
And it'd be nice to believe
The worst is over
But then times I feel it's only
Just begun (Feel like we only getting started here)
And what if we give, give up this fight
Then we're the poser (But we ain't giving up this fight)
We'll just sing lower (No, we ain't giving up this fight) and lower
Again (I say it simple and plain)
You're not in my name
You're not in my name
Not in my name
You're not in my name
[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Hey, hey, say [?] brave hearted
Till departed, chartered a bullet back to where it started
Blowing that beg your pardon in the parliamentary gardens
I'm guarding my mental property, Talib Kweli quality
Told me 'I don't f..ck with politics, I don't even follow it'
I don't know where to start, maybe I'm a part of the problem here
Now I'm worlds apart from the ignorance that got me here
Talking all that wealth for toil till you get your soil commandeered
Mr Speaker should our leader wind up missing history's pages
Won't miss him either, tell the coppas I'm guilty
A Molotov at your building, always was
And it always will be we stop at nothing you f..ckin feel me?
[Chorus 2 (Extended): Radical Son (Nick Lupi)]
It'd be nice to believe
The worst is over
But then times I feel it's only
Just begun (Feel like we only getting started here)
And what if we give, give up this fight
Then we're the poser (But we ain't giving up this fight)
We just sing lower (No, we ain't giving up this fight) and lower
Again (I say it simple and plain)
And it'd be nice to believe
The worst is over
But at times I feel it's only
Just begun (Feel like we only getting started here)
But if we give, give up this fight
Then we're no closer (But we ain't giving up this fight)
We just sing lower (No, we ain't giving up this fight) and lower
Again (I say it simple and plain)
Not in my name
Not in my name
Not in my name
Not in my name
[Interlude: Jimmy Nice & Ruby Frost]
"One good shirt had us all fly"
"One good shirt had us all fly"
"One good shirt"
"Each link in the chain a reflection of the
Faces in the frame
This kingdom which we claim
This thing of ours, so bold, so unashamed
All in the name of having a name
So tell me, does it feel the same?
Feel like the feelings faded, the fire is still inside of me
Flyest to do it, look where I take it
Where I take it
Higher, kick you the realest game
I got it, you got it, we thrash it then give it back to you
When I wash it, the quality still remain
