๐ŸŽถ Listened to RADICAL by Gavin Prophet.

This is Prophet’s first full album. Packed with shortish pop-punk style songs replete with accurate and necessary punches critiquing of the political system many of us are subject to.

An example from “H8 U (4 U)” about how we’re all manipulated into hating each other rather than those who have real control over our lives:

Cause it’s problems they like to have Make sure I hate you for you It doesn’t matter if you’re red, blue, gay straight, religious, or identify as a fill in the blank The rich want us at war Cause I’ve been raised on a lie You’ve been raised on a lie We’ve been raised on a lie Cause I’ve been raised on a lie In nations Paid to divide To make sure I hate you for you

Probably the one I’ve seen shared the most is I’m not Lazy. Can’t fault the lyric “Trickle down deez nuts with your economy”:
