Triz Nathaniel - Tok Blocking Lyrics

We're talking about a total blackout of all communication
So, no internet at all
No TikTok, no
Blah, blah, blah
Roll your eyes all you want but that's important
When communication is out
Palestinians can't show the world
What's happening to them
When them bombs dropping
And it's not stopping
They don't want y'all talking
So they Tok blocking
The sound of moms sobbing
'Cause wow it's all shocking
Hope nobody's watching
So they Tok blocking
Look at that, look at that, look what they did
Look at that, look at that, look at that kid
But they don't want y'all talking
So they Tok blocking
She took a video clip
Don't look away, man look at that shit
But they don't want y'all watching
So they Tok blocking
Ring, ring, ring, then click
The tone didn't resonate
Oh shit, 'cause you already know what
That predicates
This is a blackout
Don't wanna go to waste
Don't wanna detonate
Wish I could levitate
Feel like a foo'
Fighting the likes of Mike Tyson
When I am not
Even a heavyweight
(Ay, hello) Communication's
The first thing they take away
'Cause information that's in relation
To this invasion means confirmation
Of displacement and devastation
Hague cases in waiting
From laying waste to whole populations
In a location with no nation
Information is power
So communications get taken down
In this situation we shouted
"Never again," should've taken a vow
'Cause if a tree falls in the forest
Or a kid blows up in mortar bits
But you swear that you ain't heard of it
Shit, did it make a sound?
Look at that, look at that, look at that kid
Look at that, look at that, look what they did
But they don't want y'all talking
So they Tok blocking
Look, she took a video clip
Don't look away, man, look at that shit
But they don't want y'all watching
So they Tok blocking
Content to continue the shelling
As kids burn in this new hell
An embargo on truth telling
So I don't know who you telling
Meanwhile on TikTok
You see how they spent a lot
Turned that into a new weapon
Birds of a feather goose stepping
No reporters and no press
No independent analysts
Eliminating any journalists left
We swore we wouldn't stand for it
If you could do interviews what would you get
You'd end up with a manuscript
'Cause place yourself in the shoes of the oppressed
And tell me you won't talk every chance you get
When them bombs dropping
And they not stopping
They don't want y'all talking
So they Tok blocking
The sound of moms sobbing
'Cause wow it's all shocking
Hope nobody's watching
So they Tok blocking
Look at that, look at that, look at that kid
Look at that, look at that, look what they did
But they don't want y'all talking
So they Tok blocking
Jamal Khashoggi, y'all forgot him?
'Cause this got a lot in common
But who we getting on
Depends on who's Tok blocking
Bombs dropping
Non-stop
And we all watch 'em
Tok blocking
We engage
Like it's not a problem
Like TMJ
It's jaw dropping
No Twitter, no X, none of that shit
No phone, no internet
No questions it's merciless
No protection for journalists
'Cause information is power
So communications get taken down
