lyrics
[ Intro ] (from protest in 2021 with speakers from Association of Palestinian Arab Canadians)
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of us come to these protests kind of as a reactionary event.
Protesters: 1-2-3-4, we don’t want your dirty war!
Speaker 2: Nous demandons au gouvernement Canada d’exiger un arrêt immédiat de ces actes violents et oppressifs en prenant les mesures suivantes…
Protesters: 5-6-7-8, stop the killing, stop the hate!
Speaker 1: We all have a duty to organize ourselves.
[ Verse 1 ] Asuquomo
(Fuck 12, fuck 12, fuck 12)
Crier six un trois
took no ease off the gas to be this way
Fam I seen this day
Swear if I had one wish It’d be free ye
Buh it’s mad
N it’s Stuck in the air
like we lost one of ours in the yard
Can’t give up trying * sighs can’t give a flying!
Felt that heartbreak pierce my heart like a big hole
Pressed my palm on my chest it was hand-held
Trade in strength on limited patience
Big sign say go loud like a ban bell
Once it’s peak just know we can’t refrain
Broke that seal then I pose like it’s me day
Took that shot to the head for the delay
Get your mans he got spun by the dj
Dunno when to jump for the replays
Dunno when to duck for the smoke
Dunno when to catch a vibe
can’t catch a break
Dunno when to catch a movie reference
Catch a case from Charlie
We acting dangerous are we
I dun mean to rile you up But
I’m more like Huey than Riley
You’re just a doughnut
you're a doughnut muncher with a mid right hook and a piss poor aim…
you’re not savaged, you’re cooked
Northsidedededeede truly yours
Swear to God I gave up my floors
Been off the wall been bout the cause
Tongue in cheek backs to the wall
butts getting kicked but hands get put on em
Hands get put on em all
Hands get on em piggies In brawls
[ Hook ] Asuquomo & King Kimbit
Fuck twelve, fuck twelve, fuck twelve
Fuck twelve, fuck twelve, fuck twelve
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
[ Verse 2 ] King Kimbit
State of emergency
Give us the money back, we need it urgently
Paying police with our taxes is hurting me
Stacking their pockets while we get no access to services
Watch all the violence expose
So bright they burn in a screen full of smoke
Sunshine list when you’re on the bankroll
Who pays the price when they put on a show?
Meanwhile I’ll have to fight other artists for a bite
Of some funding from the government if I fit the prototype
We’re applying for grants; 5-0’s granted dollars in the billions by our taxes
I’m taking a stand, can’t stand by passive
With bloodsucking bed bugs in a mattress
Whoa
I’m unplugging the plastic
These thugs wanna practice running their games
Pretending they’re lame when their homies attack us
They claim to be lacking and say understaffing to big up their asking
But really they’re laughing and fooling what happened, they’re choosing inaction
These hooligans capping and rudely enacting a war on the people who aren’t deceitful
Unwarranted sequels are warnings of lethal attacks on our equals
But we will prevail and any weapon shall fail
Should they be formed against us hidden within the details
[ Hook ] Asuquomo & King Kimbit
Fuck twelve, fuck twelve, fuck twelve
Fuck twelve, fuck twelve, fuck twelve
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
May we be peaceful: Abolish police
Fuck twelve, fuck twelve, fuck twelve
