Lyrics:
I’m livid when, the gimmicking wins/
From beginning to end, no gimmick; If I rap it, dude I live it then/
And you can’t do it, so ain’t no need for mimicking/
I’m not innocent. I’m on a mission, so let me finish it/
Matter of time before they summon the army in/
I’m probably on the FBI’s most wanted list/
I’m probably going to end up hung like an ornament/
I’m on a life mission to abolish all the government/
It’s dumb and I’m beyond pissed/
So we’re going to cut to the chase and get rid of metaphorical nonsense/
None of that eloquent bogusness/
I want you to know what it is sucka kid, y’all people keep voting in/
They rob, kill, and steal by the day/
I’d be a buffoon to trust the state/
You’re a tool and fool. Just keep taking the bait/
Making mistake, after mistake, after mistake/
Believe me, this ain’t the typical “Oh the government’s corrupt.”
Bro, that’s too easy/
You gotta take responsibility because you willingly
Give power to the state, when it’s the state that is your enemy
Stuck on stupid, you gotta be on it/
Cry about violence but they got a monopoly on it/
And you keep on buying in to what that man say/
Not knowing that every mandate, just expands the state
Hook:
Look around tell me what you see, because it’s..
Coming down, coming down. Are you listening?
Stop and look. This is what I mean:
It’s going down. It’s going down.
Look, it ain’t really hard to keep up
The politician just hypnotized you with free stuff
More and more statism, and y’all people just eat up
Yet crying and you’re protesting about how the police suck
Y’all don’t get no sympathy from me, because that’s the bed that you made
So you gotta lay
More inconsistent by the day, making mistake after mistake after mistake
At some time you gotta realize/
That the same crap that you despise might be your demise/
And I’d advise that you become more knowledgeable on subjects like economics that benefit/
Not memes on the internet
So when you’re mad and you get so combative, you gotta step back and take a stab at your voting habits/
The average man don’t understand that he don’t know;
You can be free or be a slave, but you can’t be both.
Hook
Craig Mabbitt: Open Your Eyes
The state you’re in, is a state of mind.
Freedom disguised, the state you’re in is a state of mind
So they’re wanting a savior?
Yet everyday, we go through voluntary exchanges/
They say “who’s going to build the roads?” without taxation/
So you give them a reason to confiscate my payments/
And that’s exactly what the state needs
for you to think you need them. But it’s fake, see?/
Maybe you’d see that they are what they swore to prevent/
A monopolized corporation, it’s called government/
The glory days of numetal meets actually intelligent lyricism? More of this please!
Amen
Reminds me of what Bad Brains did to punk music back in the day - I am buying this CD.
I know right. As a libertarian teenager, I found the pseudo-rebellious music annoying. Radical pseudo-left oppositional politics has the same flavour. Finally I've got something authentically rebellious.
Came for the commentary. Stayed for the metal.
@@paradigmarson9586 There is hope yet for the future! As a middle aged dude I have been slowly loosing hope. Good man.
These guys should be huge right now … why six years later am I catching on to these dudes …. The industry doesn’t want this kind of message put out there time for uprisings
If you haven't checked out Eric's RUclips channel, I highly recommend it. He's a great dude.
"A monopolized corporation: It's called government." ___________ Truth.
In a world where Cardi-B exists, young groups like these guys sharing this sort of message give me a glimmer of hope.
Big thank you to everybody that took the time to jam this.
Please continue to share it out. The single is also live on Itunes, Spotify, Google Play & other mediums. See the description for more details.
+BackWordz Music This song is not available in the U.S. iTunes Store
(edit) I just downloaded it! Thanks for making it available!
+BackWordz Music Bandcamp? :( Set a minimum price for it, and I'll beat it. I want that sweet FLAC download.
+BackWordz Music I've been listening to this nonstop. I can't get enough. Sometimes I play it 5 or 6 times in a row. Any possibility of release on Amazon? I've already purchased it through Google, but I prefer Amazon's app, and I'll buy it twice.
+ 1 on the Bandcamp request!
+BackWordz Music When is the album dropping? because i"m hyped as fuck for it!
to everyone asking about the hoodie (s), they were handmade for us by a friend.
+BackWordz Music The Anarchyball facebook page has a shop that sells them too.
I wasn't asking where to get one. I was saying where to go. :P
I love you guys dude like this genre works
You guys should get a turntable guy and do the scratching thing like issues has
Is it possible to order it? I am pretty sure, that a lot of ancaps would love to buy one, preferably without the interference of the state extortion, so we know for sure that 100% will go to the guy making it. :D
Legit one of the best bands out there! Awesome song keep it up guys!
+The Animal In Me We are fans of you guys too. Much love!
Couldn’t agree more. Certain labels will try and avoid them. The one who takes them for a drive will go far with these guys.
I love you Eric!!
@@BackWordzMusic wholesome moment! after watching Eric Thomas, i rememberd Be Great song! now i'm once again blasting with your songs guys! would love to have power that react channels do reaction of your songs! they will be blown away!
"Maybe you’d see that they are what they swore to prevent/
A monopolized corporation, it’s called government." My favorite lines.
Yeah
We need this message now more than ever.
I was thinking the same thing. Peace + love =voluntaryism.
FJB
Craig Mabbitt? Woah. Cool track boys.
Hansol confirmed AnCap? ;)
spicyboi
Finally, ACTUAL "punk". I'm tired of conformist, corporate music pretending they are anti-establishment when it's obvious they ARE the establishment
Facts, bro
Punk??????
@@jlleibold1974 He means like what they stand for. Not necessarily the sound.
I get your point, but the sound would rather be called "modern metalcore"
@@till9652 I think he’s referring more to the punk scene based on the message than he is the punk genre
"The state you’re in is a state of mind"
So when we touring together bros!?
+RED HANDED DENIAL YOU GUYS RULE! I'd love to see that tour!
+RED HANDED DENIAL Let's set that up asap!
+BackWordz Music Come to Illinois? :D
Would love to see you guys on tour together!! Come out to NC if you do!!
BackWordz Music ,Loving the new track! Stoked for the album Release!!
This is the best liberty-themed music ever made. Ever.
Voluntaryist - The Comic Series fuck yeah it is bro.
Now if we could only ignore that the basic form of society for humans is Feudalism. All anarcho-anything communes in the 50s, 60s and 70s ended up as feudal or oligarchical in very quick order. Human history and anthropology bears this out scientifically.
It's good but it isn't RATM good. Come on now.....
@@charlieboudreau5172 RATM are champagne socialist hacks. They're irrelevant to the topic at this point
I would concure!
Out-freaking-standing!
+Larken Rose Big thanks brotherman!
Make Anarchy Great Again! Love ya Larken Rose!
Larken Rose
You're more inspirational than my preacher.
I'm four years late to the party, but bless rothbard, I found you guys
Bless Rothbard... that’s awesome. And I’m using it
@@CraftingMuff indeed
Tinha que ter mais brasileiros aqui.
@@liberdadecultural5195 concordo Leafar kkkk
Bless rothbard
This song is always stuck in my head - my personal favorite
YES PREASE! 😁
Glad I no longer believe in the violent religion of Statism. Great work BackWordz, keep it up!
violence is everywhere
@@taiparker8379 But only the violence of the state is ''legal''
what's that another anti germany flag?
@@hartwigbaars248 no it's a pro capitalist flag. No one cares about Germany.
@@scsharkhunter407 Its okay for me if you don't care pls just shut
Want that Ancap hoodie.
+Anarchyball Anarchyball my nigga
+A LeRoux Deleted comment? Where do I get that hoodie?
+Fatal Oath they only sell shirt though
Alvaro Fuentes No they do do hoodies, select the shirt and there's an option for a hoodie version, shipping to UK is horrendously expensive though.
+Fatal Oath Thank you.
"the State youre in is a state of mind"
FACTS! man I glad I found this!
I am a Libertarian and I approve this message.
theviciousyouth 😂😂
theviciousyouth Sou brasileiro e sou libertário. Tem mas alguém do hemisfério sul(América do Sul, Central, África ou Oriente Médio) por aqui?
Marcos Anarcocapitalista vc não pode ser económico-libertário e ser anarcho-capitalista. Mto menos vc pode ser anarquista e ser ancap. Ancap não é anarquista e até o Murray Rothbard admitiu isso.
Jalter Obrigado por demonstrar a grande falta de inteligência sobre a história do movimento Libertário pk historicamente falando libertário é anarquista. Só q antigamente na Europa quem se identificou como anarquista seria preso. Por isso q os anarquistas usaram o nome libertário, libertário-socialista ou libertário-comunista. E não, nas Américas libertário favorece um governo mto pequeno q só serve pra dirigir as taxas do povo ao setor privado pelos serviços q o povo precisa. Ancap, se for realmente anarquista é contra qqr forma de governo. Só q ancap não é anarquista. Nunca foi e até o Murray Rothbard admitiu isso. E isso é a prova q os ancaps são otários pk mesmo o criador de ancapismo disse q não é anarquismo.
Jalter libertários de verdade são da extrema esquerda. “Vulgar libertarians” ou seja “económico-libertário” são da extrema direita. Mas como se pode ser libertário se ainda favorece o capitalismo quando historicamente falando é contra o capitalismo? O capitalismo não libera ninguém de pobreza ou sofrimento. E quando há capitalismo existe opressão e um opressor. Se o libertário quer eliminar opressores, aí entra na contradição. Económico-libertário não favorece a liberdade, só favorece um mercado sem regulações. Além disso nada tem a ver com o movimento Libertário.
a ANCAP band? Already liked it
I've listened to Body Count for a long while, I feel a bit dumb not realising just how many African American led rockbands there are. This is just one of many I've found the last past days via RUclips algorithms, BackWordz definitely deserve more attention.
I don't think is a word in the english language that even come close to explaining how much awesomeness this band exhibits. Just found them today and haven't stopped listening since (about 5 hours ago). These guys and their music are simply remarkable.
The Yellow: Anarcho-Capitalist - The Grey: Agorist - TheOrange: Mutualist - The White: Anarcho-Pacifist - The Blue: Anarcho-Transhumanist
+Favoured Axe U W0T?
And the filthy Reds are the Anarcho-Syndicalists.
Ancap Zombie Anarcho-Comunist
in this case the blue means anarcho individualism
Ancap Zombie No.
The ancap vocal fry is great but I can't help but imagine this guy saying: "You picked the wrong house, fool!"
Big thanks, everybody!
WE won 5 weeks in a row and made it into Loudwire's Battle Royale Hall of Fame!
loudwire.com/battle-royale-backwordz-craig-mabbitt-hall-of-fame-run-video-countdown/
BackWordz Music nice you guys deserved it
congrats.
Liberty cannot be stopped
Libertarians and conservatives cannot be stopped
Fight on
thirdxeyextoker did you listen to the lyrics? We stand against conservatives as much as we do the Democrats. Not trying to be rude to you or anything just thought you should know. Have a great day and death to the state!
BackWordz Music well I mean you are the best band within the last few years most of these bands like BMTH use computers just like pop
Herro from Dallas! I only just discovered you guys, and your band kicks ass! Love the message!
These guys don't have a label, so if you like it be sure to spread the word! This is too good
More relevant now than any other time in our lives
I'm here for Craig Mabbitt but this was awesome..
same tho
That blond dude with the hook is sick though
Craig's voice is just perfect, great song!
Facts
Rap metal done right!
Within Temptation did a song with Xhibit that was pretty good
The opening lines could not have been more badass
To be honest....I've watched this video around 30 times today
You too?
+Kenneth Moore hahaha can't stop replaying
I listen to it multiple times daily on Spotify. One of my favorite songs
this is the music ive been searching for!
I specifically requested that THIS SONG be played at the “Enemies of the State: DC Bash” this Friday night at the National LP Convention!! 🖤💛
Wow... you guys should have way more recognition. I love your music, spitting out truth with a beat. I'm so happy my husband found you guys... we are officially fans.
Saludos desde Venezuela
Hello from the US :)
Здравей от България.
Olá do Brasil!
Привет из России!
Uff. Si hay un pais en el mundo que necesita el libertarismo, es el tuyo. Suerte.
heard of you on the Tom Woods show - you guys ROCK!!!
and with such a COOL and RELEVANT message too.
Let's help these guys go WORLDWIDE!
Same here.
This band kicks ass.
I like how each member of the band is showing the colors of different sub-philosophies of anarchism, mutualism doesnt get shown or represented in anything often enough, so that was exciting to see lol. Also the lighting at times made it look red, so when first watching the video, I thought "An AnCap and an AnCom in a band together, how the hell does that work"
While left and right are quarreling, a small, incredibly dense, center of consciousness is birthing... fighting its programming.
these songs age like fine wine in this trying times
Wow, I've not been this excited about a new band in a long time.
Now this is what I've been looking for
This song is more relevant today than it was seven years ago
I support what you stand for despite having no interest in your music. Being able to feel that way is mind blowing to me.
I'm about to post this on the facebook page Statism Is Slavery that now has ~200,000 subscribers and growing! Kick ass guys!
~Michael Shanklin
link us!
I’ve been looking for this song for over a year now. Fuck yes
@BackWordz I find it really funny that I'm an anarcho-communist at heart and a lot of what you say speaks to our values but you're known as an anarcho-capitalist. Just shows that, at the end of the day, most people (especially lawful anarchists) want the same thing even if they have different routes to it. Love the music even if I don't agree with all of the politics. Would love to DM about it sometime.
Amen!
Backwordz are extremely brilliant. it is nice to see that people can make intellectual music that deals with real problems in the world like politics. everyone sings about love and crap. nobody uses this major platform to help the masses see whats really going on. you guys are really great. keep it up, cannot wait for your album.
Hey dudes. I didn't like the song because i'm an old school metalhead and all. But i appreciate your anarcho-capitalism position and for that, i bow to you. Great job and keep fighting the state. TAXATION IS THEFT.
Gotta admit its got some nice heavy riffs in there.
We want a new Backwordz single.
Craig has one of the best voices in this genre
La libertad avanza
Brought here by Tom Woods! Great stuff!!!
Me too!
BackWordz, y'all kick ass!
Same! So glad he had Eric on!
Tom woods brought me here too - big interviews and ancaps represent
The lyrics and music make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Legendary.
This. Is. Beautiful. In every way the musical personification of absolute perfection.
This is the dopest drop from any band in a long time
THE HYPE IS REAL
"The state you're in is a state of mind", that's gold!
I just came here to watch cuz I saw "Craig Mabbitt" in the title but honestly I'M FUCKING LOVING IT! And craig don't even appeared yet!
Great Ancap song!
Michael Gebhart imagine being an "anarcho"-capitalist
Fleim X best anarchy
Jamir Alfonso It's not anarchy at all, you hate being opressed and controled by the govt but when corporations control you it's fine?
Fleim X
If someone doesn't have the freedom to expand their business then it's not anarchy.
What do you propose? Anarcho-communism?
Jamir Alfonso More freedom for those who own the means of production (the 1 percent) is less freedom for those who use them (the 99 percent). You cannot have liberty without equality. I guess you can call me an anarcho-communist or just anarchist, cause anarcho-capitalism is an oxymoron.
Just seeing this now, words of truth and wisdom. Keep up the good work fellas
My 25 year old son just sent me a link to one of these videos. Awesome music. Gives me hope for the future. Your future. .
Thanks for reppin' the black and yellow and the line "you can be free or a slave, but you can't be both" hits hard! Hell yes! I needed this in my life!
I need one of those sweaters
Cheers from Brazil. Keep the good work!!!
Cheguei uns anos atrasados, mas estamos ai
@@wallacemichael3607 Também sou brasileiro e sou libertário, vamos fortalecer o movimento libertário
An idea who's time has come, can not be stopped by any army or any governement.
Oh man, collabing with craig mabbit now? Good shit Eric. I remember the days when we did vocal covers together
Strong message, great music.
Love the agorism hoodie.
Came here for Craig Mabbit , and now i am really happy that I found them out .
I saw eric on timpools podcast then started watching his chanel that led me to backwordz music! I used to listen to escape the fate in highschool but had forgotten all about them and was glad to rediscover them.
Rothbard did nothing wrong.
Rothbard is Based
nu metal rap metal rap rock is back
The raps are powerful and promise to make it a hard track, but then singing undermines it and gives it a pre-teen feel.
BackWordz and the String-Bo String Duo need to have a battle of the bands.
Much better than last single. Lots of energy, and good message, keep this style up for the album. Day 1 supporter, already funded ya guys!
I get goosebumps every time I hear this song.
This song is more important today than it ever was...
Good tune. Side note that black and yellow hoodie is so flee
Love this ❤️
Libertarian theme song bros.
This song has become even more relevant.... still love it
I just love how every hoodie's a symbol of different anarchism
Banda foda 💪 libertarismo 💪
Shout out to Anarchyball for introducing me to this band.
Wow. What a song. TY Tom Woods for presenting Eric and his band.
I have loved your commentary for a few years and feel like an idiot for not checking out your music sooner. You are extremely talented and as someone who doesn’t tend to care for rap your stuff is just on a whole other level.
This song is clutch! Gonna share it. Hope it gets huge.
Respect from Brazil!
Been following these guys lately, when I saw the ft of Mabbitt I got so hyped, song does not disappoint at all.
Holy hell. This song is awesome. Getting Craig on this track is just the icing on the cake.
Damn, good to hear great sounding music that actually is saying something important. Just wish it was a bit easier to determine the lyrics.
tom woods
I am massively late to the party. But I love ya'lls music. I've finally found my favorite things in this band. Metal, rap, and exposing the government's injustice on both sides. Big facts ya'll, keep it up
Dude, this is the best music I uave found in almost 5 years. God bless this band♡♡♡
You guys killed it. More of this please!
I need that hoodie, also great work, keep fighting the good fight!
+Thomas Jefferson anarchyball.com Select shirt go to options select hoodie.
+Anarchyball Hey man is there anyway to get cheaper shipping to the UK? The shipping is almost twice as expensive as the hoodie.
"The state you're in is a state of mind" I like it
This is a legitimately good song... I was kind of expecting something cheesy for a niche market, but this is really good...
