Violence Rap Battle by Through our Vio(lens) Radio Show Lyrics
[Lil Rousseau]
La-da-da-da-dah
Its ze one and only ROU- ROUSSEAU
La-da-da-da-dah
You know I'm mobbin' avec ze DAV (IS), what’s uppppp
I got the flow, yall know me, le MVP
Wrote the discourse on inequality
Zee state was made just to protect ze rich
They cried about ze property, making me sick
The poor was left to fight for their own
You say their violence was unjustified, making me groan
You say it violates the law
I say its ze law of nature that led to zer downfall
Locke only cares about private property
While the “starving multitude lacks necеssities”
The root of all evil (amour-proprе)
Led to someone like Oprah
They only love their status
They prickly like cactus
End result won’t take much practice
Final stage of inequality
Might lead to the tyrant being ended
No natural law being bended
No qualms against violence
[Thee Angela Davis]
It’s me, the one and only Angela
You know I’m moving with Rousseau uh-huh
We all know police are oppressions emissaries
But MLK preached non-violence to you and me
Patience won’t get us to equality I profess
You see their violence has no purpose but to oppress
The police claim that they’ll protect and serve
But the interests of the state are the only thing they’ll conserve
Rousseau, you were right to say private property is evil
The source of this is capitalism- its a weevil
The results are damaging, POC are hurting
If we stick to law and order the system will never be converting
Though this violence has led to jail with no parole
In this way the oppressors dig their own hole
Listen to me, ‘cause the issues I bring up are not trite
To get rid of racism at last we have to unite (mic drop)
[Thomasulous H]
La-da-da-da-dah
It’s the one and only T British Hobbes
Remember me? I was the human twin
I’ve been listening and found some things to school you in
First off - you all got it wrong
The origins of violence start far before this song
The state of nature is a state of war
Don’t act so surprised, we are bound to be sore
Man has always clashed since the start of interests
Over things from property to food to pinterests
Fear of uncertainty and competition
Together will lead to true demolition
Left alone there is war “of every man against every man”
But fear not, for yours truly found a plan!
Submit to power and introduce society
That’s the best way to rid of all anxiety
The sovereign does what need be for public good
Listen to me as you know you should
Sometimes violence is justified; after all it’s to save you having cried
Let's give it up for the historian now; let's break violence open wide
[Religious Historian]
La-da-da-da-dah
I am the __ religious HIS (historian)
La-da-da-da-dah
You know who I am
Yeah yeah yeah, what what
We’re back for all you suckers
Gonna discuss the old vs. the new testaMEANT
And tell you what they really meant
While these fakers bicker, I’m the true authority
Lived in a land where the Israelites were the minority (Egypt)
Wrote a lesson that will be hard to ignore
They worked so hard in the fields, always begging for more
Violence was the only way to save
The Pharoah thought he was being brave
This led to their downfall (into the sea)
Eye for an eye we were told
While the new testament
The man himself told us to turn
The other cheek
No room for critique
Even if you’re being persecuted
Or booted or looted
Ain't no time to dispute
It's time to love your enemy(y)
In the last text, we fight if its necessary
Against persecution and hatred
Self -defense is all we got
No time for thought
Its time for the swat
[Da Real Francisco]
La-da-da-da-dah
It’s queen Victoria without the C (Vitoria)
La-da-da-da-dah
Give it up for your favorite confused International Law G
Now here’s a story about a conquest for “glory”
It sounded great at first but got insanely gory
I’ll speak as my people from Spain who brought all of the pain:
"Stand your ground? More like please sit down!
We have every right to violence to turn this place around
Convert? Check. Abide? Heck
The “barbarians” kill, sacrifice, and oppress
But let me tell you hahaha, they don’t even dress
You might be asking, “Is there a better way?”
Perhaps señor, but not today"
Now back to me, what do I think about all of this?
First off; I believe in equality. Every man should have equal dignity
But what of violence of course!
It’s “lawful to meet force with force”
Self-defence also gets the okay from me
But most importantly, moral threats to community
If you see something unspeakable
Its ethical wounds untreatable
I say intervene but things might get mean..
Let’s hear it for Plato, I’m extremadamente keen
[Platormous P]
Its the poet Aristocles
You know I’m beefing with the big bad V
I go by Plato, that’s why they all know my name
I got sway though, that’s why I stay running the game
I created the kallipolis- a flawless thought invention
It’s a perfect society according to convention
My man Vitoria you’re absolutely correct
These barbarians need to be checked
Protect your own and what’s of value to your society
Don’t hung up on people of a different variety
In my kallipolis protection is done by the guardians
That way my citizens can have fun partyin’ (get back to work)
You see, keeping the harmony is my main concern
If some get hurt in the process then they can feel the burn
Be careful Vitoria in your colonial endeavors
Use of violence should be by the state, not just whomever
