Bleeps
The Arsonists Lyrics

Looking, looking nervous
We feel uneasy and on edge due to the constant criticism and surveillance we face.

Their whole purpose to criticize us
The people who judge our music seem to exist solely to put us down and discredit us.

Indicate us on music, this world's a circus
Our music is often blamed for societal problems, even though the real issue is much deeper and more complicated.

where murderous written language is rap
The supposed violence in our lyrics is taken out of context and used as evidence against us.

Initiation to courtrooms exhibit our DATs
We are often dragged to court to defend our music and our words.

Cuffing our wrist back, slapped with prosecutions
We are treated like criminals and subjected to legal punishment simply for expressing ourselves through our art.

Guilty!
We are often presumed guilty before we even have a chance to defend ourselves.

Embedded into the minds of kids, women and ticking
Our music is consumed by people of all ages and genders and can have a profound impact on them, whether positive or negative.

Time bombs, warned to bite my tongue
We feel stifled and silenced by those who try to control the content of our music.

Fuck that! Ain't this America?
We are frustrated with the hypocrisy and double standards of society when it comes to freedom of speech and expression.

Where it's cool to shake your Fuck and show
Society seems to celebrate vulgar and explicit behavior in some contexts while condemning it in others.

Prostitutes on camera?
The sexualization and objectification of women in media and popular culture is rampant and problematic.

The moment I want to speak on what I'm seeing
We want to shed light on the injustices and problems we see in society through our music.

Causing violence, sirens approach my crib
Our music is unfairly blamed for inciting violence, and as a result, we are often targeted and harassed by law enforcement.

Pig soldiers creepin' in silence
Law enforcement often uses aggressive and underhanded tactics to intimidate and silence us.

With science that I'm a rapper!
Our status as musicians and artists is used against us as evidence of our supposed wrongdoing.

Minus the glitter that host the glamour to suck
We reject the superficial and commercial aspects of the music industry and focus on the substance of our art.

Moist shit on manufacturers

Then they say we rap too much!
Critics often accuse us of being too vulgar, controversial, or political in our music.

Freedom of speech told me to speak as I please
We believe in the power and importance of free speech and will not be silenced or censored.

(Fuck y'all)
We don't care what our critics think of us or our music.

You ever heard of such?
We are incredulous at the hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness of those who would silence us.

Censorship should tied up, thrown in the trunk
We reject censorship and believe that it is a threat to free expression and creativity.

Get spread across the desert, get cut in bitty chunks
We express our rejection of censorship in violent and extreme terms, using hyperbole to underscore our passion and commitment to free speech.

Hip-hop ain't kill your boy and
We reject the idea that our music and our culture are responsible for societal problems like violence.

And this music ain't bring that shit that sniff
We reject the idea that our music is responsible for problems like drug addiction and substance abuse.

Across the border
We reject the idea that problems in our society are caused by outside influences, like immigrants or foreign cultures.

We in a world where everyone just walkin' with
We see a world where people are disconnected from each other and from themselves, and don't understand the root causes of societal problems.

Giant fingers
We use the metaphor of fingers to describe the way people point blame at others instead of looking at themselves and their own actions.

Pointing in all directions where we haven't
We feel scapegoated and unfairly blamed for problems that we had no role in causing.

Invented mirrors
We believe that people need to reflect on their own behavior and choices instead of blaming others for their problems.

Guns as common as light fixtures
We see a society where guns are ubiquitous and violence is normalized and accepted.

TV is pretty pictures that show reality
We criticize the media for depicting a sanitized and distorted version of reality that fails to address the underlying causes of societal problems.

So what we live is always tinkered
We believe that people in power manipulate the narrative of societal problems to deflect blame and avoid taking responsibility.

I swore on my little bro that's locked down
We use the memory of a loved one who is incarcerated as a motivator to stay true to our principles and not water down our music or our message.

At sixteen that I won't water down my Fuck
We made a promise to ourselves at a young age to stay true to our convictions and not compromise our art or our message.

Fuck rap, I'm here to blow steam
We see our music as a way to express our frustration, anger, and passion, and to make a statement about the state of society.

Whoa! Look at 'em now! Cryin' to the extreme
We see our critics as hypocrites who are quick to condemn us for problems that they themselves have failed to address.

'Cause shit shot up the prom

So they blaming it on the music scene and
We see a society that is quick to scapegoat our music and culture instead of addressing deeper societal problems.

The teens don't give a Fuck 'cause they parents
We see a generational divide where young people are more open-minded and accepting of our music, while their parents are more likely to see it as problematic.

Don't understand
We see older generations as disconnected from the challenges and struggles facing young people today.

Fuck music get in they hands,
We believe that our music has the power to inspire and empower young people to take action and make change in their communities.

Started wildin' and speakin' slang
We see young people who are marginalized and misunderstood by mainstream society using our music as a way to express themselves and their frustrations.

Letting they pants hang off they Fuck
We see young people embracing a style and a culture that represents their identity and their values, even if it is seen as controversial or provocative by mainstream society.

Smokin' shit and playa hatin'
We see young people who are experimenting with drugs and sex as a way to rebel against a society that has failed to meet their needs or understand their struggles.

Relatin' to shit and shit so they request it
We see our music as a way to connect with young people who are struggling with societal problems and to provide them with a voice and a sense of identity.

Now the whole nation is watching with redden bacher
We see the media and society as obsessed with our music and culture, unable to understand or appreciate its true value and meaning.

And hot pockets
We see the commodification and commercialization of our music and culture as a way for corporations to profit off of our struggles and our message.

Shut the fuck up!
We reject the idea that our music has no value or meaning and that we should be silent in the face of criticism and suppression.
