Flobots biographyFlobots biography (read more)
When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, a classically trained violist, and a jazz trumpet player, the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop. Progressive in both style and message, the band's ability to drop from symphonic rock-infused crescendos into stripped-down string-laden breakbeats has earned Flobots a reputation for both originality and authenticity. After originally forming as a ...

To be honest, I hate this genre. Not to say everything in this genre is crap, but that there's just too many people in Rap/Hip-Hop trying to wave their peens around with some stupid gangster "lookit how awesome I am" / "lookit how hard m'life is, yo" / etc crap. It's nice to see actual satire and commentary come from this genre every once in a while.

Granted, yeah, I'm sure there are many others who do songs like this out there. It's such a shame they're too often overshadowed by crap.

Like this song.

[lyrics=]
We request to negotiate
We come to you unarmed
We desire to communicate
You cannot do us harm

For one sacrifice,
they have schemes and ask me to follow their path to the afterlife
I've got an appetite
for nice things and pipe dreams that my enemies could be blasted by
Ooh metaphors
Views that are better for you can't survive or find your competitor
Rise together
Or Fight separate wars I pray I'm never forced to be a predator

Suspecting we won't laugh
They're glad to hate but gladiators breed their last
Scream or mash but their dreams do clash
Like swords in the war let me bleed on that
Put the heat on that
Cept we need strong backs
You call us weak and don't redeem contracts
Well this peace won't last
If the beast attacks
The sons and the fathers will be free at last

This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason
This is love, and not treason

They see sharks in the estuary
They claim the arch is Bartolomeu's
They say war is necessary
But we say war is child abuse

We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
White Flag Warriors

Take to the core they're the ones we've been waiting for
We hold steady, steady on the step of door
The type of yous are matadors and matters of are capable
Forgive the death and settle scores and test the metal and the ore

What's your plan go to do with me?
If the bell tolls, let freedom ring
And find the new ways that we must be king
Instead of leading the young to a suffering

The past test of this
Down scream back in heaven
For testing us like wednesdays at 11
Want to recruit and train us to act evilly
Save it for the shooting range
Smack DVD's

Just tell me want no more this millennia
It's never again for me or anyone
So think harder when you refer to us
Rather make our children martyrs than murders

This is love, this is not treason
This is love, this is not treason
This is love, this is not treason
This is love, this is not treason

They shell dwellings to quell the shellings
And lift taboos and seduce the cowards
They say we're too yellow-bellied
But we say we're the new superpower

We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
White Flag Warriors (You cannot do us harm)

We seek ways to not be liable
We claim to speak for a higher truth
We stand opposed to the homicidal
We tell you you are fireproof

We'd rather make our children (We request to negotiate)
Martyrs than murderers (We come to you unarmed)
We'd rather make our children (We desire to communicate)
White Flag
Warriors
We'd rather make our children
We'd rather make our children

Do what you want to our courage
Ask us what you will
Demand from us a sacrifice
But do not make us kill

You really have to see the music video for this song to make any sense to you.

At first I didn't really find any interest in this song, but then I was curious as to what the lyrics are, and wow. Now I'm convinced.

Normally I don't like this genre of music too much, but this one can be an exception. The lyrics do it for me.

This song is funny! It starts with a guy bragging about something lots of people can do, then works his way up. Overall though, it's catchy and the lyrics are intricate and the words are well-chosen.

Don't give a 0 for a song because you hate it. I don't think bad lyrics makes the instruments, rhythm, melody or vocals bad either.
