Travis Moore - Historical Materialism and the Materialist Dialectic lyrics

Hammer: History it flows and constantly evolves and unfolds That's why we hold the belief that one day we'll be free you see Because it's inevitable that we'll be taking to the streets And see it's inevitable that we soon will control the means . But The history of cla** struggle Necessary armed rebels Ever rising sea levels Fighting off them white devils Tells us that this future Won't stop them trying to shoot ya Gotta risk it all to take it all Have faith in what ya doing y'all Sickle: History it flows? Brother that's teleological Or theological f**ing illogical Mm mythological You should just stop the bull Just stop the bull Interlude: What we must learn from history however, is that while the conditions for change always manifest themselves, it requires action on behalf of the revolutionary to propel us forward and force social change Because of course if we don't act, we submit ourselves to power, allowing it to dictate to us how we live. Thus, it is only through resistance that we truly achieve autonomy, that is, become political subjects Sickle: You know change be start with an act or a thought History taught, it start from naught then surge forth Yeah change and brought It's what a subject wrought You know nothing ain't won until a battle is fought This rap will leave you distraught Because the oneness you thought And the two we support Despite what you purport We don't have no rapport Do I'll keep this sh** short Antagonism gonna build a world for us, uh Sickle: Change don't come around from thin air motherf**ers And acting and the same as saying prayer motherf**ers So get up out your arm chair Cla** war we will declare System we will decohere Y'all should read some Rancière We don't f** with Althusser
