Philadelphia,
Seventy-eight,
Shut down M.O.V.E.
By police state.
Forty-five police storm Powellton village,
Government sanctioned rape and pillage.
Friendly fire kills officer dead,
The M.O.V.E. nine are framed up instead.
One dead cop, one officer's gun,
(One) Unjust system is yet undone.
In spite of efforts dissipated,
Until the movement was incinerated.
May thirteenth,
Eighty-five,
Eleven people
Burned alive.
They dropped the bomb after liquid was doused
To smoke out the family and burn up the house.
Sights trained on exits, the police wait,
A firing squad for those who fight to escape.
M.O.V.E. fought against exploitation,
The states injustice and their oppression.
For these crimes that the city pigs created
The Afrika's were incinerated.
Sentenced to be... incinerated.
Sentenced to be... incinerated.

Leftover Crack - Gang Control
(lyrics)
I'm being hunted by paleface in blue
and these cracka' spooks are haunting you too
With municipal shovels they're out digging our graves
Under threat of reprisal we abide to enslave
Policia, policia; why can't you see
Your bullets will never pacify me
I don't fight the world; the world fights me
Cause the gang in control is the fucking P.D.
(That's right)
Fuck the police they're gang control
We've gotta take it back
Everyone get up and let's go
Your politics spawn politikill
I'll take a bullet to prove that you kill
You front the facade of a righteous man
But the hole in your heart put a gun in your hand
Protecting the money and out serving the state
Crushing the people with the laws they created
Nothing forgotten and nobody saved
You can not break me, force me to behave
Fuck the police they're gang control
We've gotta tear it down
Everyone get up and let's go
around the globe it's outta hand
from the states to iran
across the ocean, back again
England, Zaire and Japan
Fuck the police they're gang control
We've gotta tear it down
Everyone get up and let's go
Individuals who hate man
With king's license to clean the land
Fill the army with one way laws
Around the world to suit their cause
and these cracka' spooks are haunting you too
With municipal shovels they're out digging our graves
Under threat of reprisal we abide to enslave
Policia, policia; why can't you see
Your bullets will never pacify me
I don't fight the world; the world fights me
Cause the gang in control is the fucking P.D.
(That's right)
Fuck the police they're gang control
We've gotta take it back
Everyone get up and let's go
Your politics spawn politikill
I'll take a bullet to prove that you kill
You front the facade of a righteous man
But the hole in your heart put a gun in your hand
Protecting the money and out serving the state
Crushing the people with the laws they created
Nothing forgotten and nobody saved
You can not break me, force me to behave
Fuck the police they're gang control
We've gotta tear it down
Everyone get up and let's go
around the globe it's outta hand
from the states to iran
across the ocean, back again
England, Zaire and Japan
Fuck the police they're gang control
We've gotta tear it down
Everyone get up and let's go
Individuals who hate man
With king's license to clean the land
Fill the army with one way laws
Around the world to suit their cause
Leftover Crack - One Dead Cop
(lyrics)
Power Abuse
authority misuse
they kill and rape
and it won't be on the news
but you're the good one
with a badge and a gun
braggin' how you blasted shots of 41
POLICIA! Line up on the wall!
POLICIA! Beat it out of them
POLICIA! Kill and lie some more!
POLICIA! Conspiracy to cage the poor!
One dead cop
no more doughnut shops
more dead cops
might make the hurting stop
Kill Cops!!!!

Leftover Crack - Nazi White Trash
One of us will be betrayed it's not enough for you to say
"i'm sorry" or lie about it all yer a meglo-nymph & yer mating call is
money & religion, segregation & division
your dirty cash in the pockets of the wicked politicians
lobbying for slavery in a new and modern way
repenting when yer caught, but this is what i say:
* yer sick, i hate you ya stupid motherfucker
yer so fuckin' blind ya have no fuckin' mind
yer nazi white-trash yer words come out like shit
yer so fuckin' sick yer such a fuckin' prick
ya have that special something that "sprite in you appeal"
ya think that we all love you but this is how you make us feel
yer sweaty, fuckin ignorant A product of conditioning
eugenics, social darwinisim, an excuse for yer positioning
yer crass & evil ways are all that got you there today
i hope you get shot, and this is what we say
one of us will be betrayed
and time kills us all
so we say... we hope you die sooner

Leftover Crack - So You Wanna Be a Cop?
(lyrics)
[Stza]
So you wanna be a cop?
so you wanna be on the top
arrestin and shootin' all the kids on the block
incarcerate the youth of the next generation
and you get the high fives at the police station
[Ezra]
so you wanna wear blue
and prey on the people
go above the constitution where all men are equal
beat down the poor, the working class core
your a class trading motherfucking rich man's whore
[Stza]
'cuz it's a thin blue line between the love and the hate
if you so choose to cross it you're a nazi for the state
your injustice will crush us, the precious the few
so you wanna be a killer for the red white and blue
[Ezra]
you're a bitch to the crown
keep your own people down
you've got nothing to protect
but you're keeping the sect
for your own damn brothers you got no respect
and the killing won't stop when you become a cop
* the worlds getting madder and it ain't gonna stop
it's an uphill battle all the way until we reach the top
you got an answer in your holster
and no question to kill
you got a vision for society
and it's your will
[Stza / Ezra]
even the summer sun can't make this situation light
you've got the upper hand in a war
when you take away our arms and our means to fight
[Stza]
so you wanna be a cop?
you never stop with your wicked guns going pop
after 41 shots your grinning in the donut shop
your sickening behavior regulates this society
and musters all the sickness & hatred inside of me
[Ezra]
so you wanna wear blue?
well you're just the type
got an chip on your shoulder and an itch for a gripe
standing on a raft in an ocean of blood
but you're doin the killing and causing the flood
[Stza]
how can we tolerate this mad abuse of power?
you think a cop is never psycho till he stabs you in the shower
choking v
morning g
L.O.C
we never stop
and your death'll be sweet if ya wanna be a cop
[Ezra]
they say the sea is green and the sky is blue
and thats about right because we're below you
you cop an extra attitude when you come down my block
so you wanna be a cop?
* the worlds getting madder and it ain't gonna stop
it's an uphill battle all the way until we reach the top
you got an answer in your holster
and no question to kill
you got a vision for society
and it's your will
[Stza]
even the summer sun can't make this situation light
you've got the upper hand in a war
when you take away our arms and our means to fight

Leftover Crack does a great job of switching between punk, ska, and metal.
Their commentary on this broken system is one I can relate to.
Also of importance is their stance against organized religion, racism, & homophobia.
Lest we forget at a 2008 show in Boston, MA the lead singer announced he would never play there again.
