Stripped it from the record Indigenous peoples? Scrubbed clean - damn near deleted Decades of the struggle just reduced to a keystroke Navajo Code Talkers silenced - that's the sick joke Jackie broke barriers, now his service page: 404 Tuskegee Airmen flew for freedom - can't find 'em anymore The Heritage Foundation got they hands on curriculum Project 2025 was the plan - now we living it Prager got the cartoons teaching kids that chains was pleasant "Slavery's old as time" - that's the lesson for the present Columbus animated saying bondage was survival Future generations targeted - they reading from the Bible Booker T. in pixels saying don't blame the descendants Manufacturing consent through revisionary edits [Pre-Chorus] They don't burn the books no more - they delete the cloud They don't ban the truth no more - they just change what's allowed [Chorus] Control-alt-delete the history Replace the facts with fantasy Eight thousand pages gone While the propaganda carries on Cartoon revolution feeding lies to children young Teaching that the oppressor was the hero all along But you can't kill a movement, and you can't erase the truth We the living archive and we coming with the proof [Verse 2] Smithsonian's audited - hundred-twenty-day compliance Reviewing every placard, checking science for defiance Harriet's hymnal rotated out the building quick Frederick's narrative in storage - peep the politics Shape of Power exhibit marked up for elimination 'Cause it said that race was built - a social fabrication Museums under pressure like it's nineteen-eighty-four Curators scared to tell you what your people really fought for Three thousand pages from the CDC got stripped Long COVID data vanished like it never hit Trans veterans dying at the elevated rate But they deleted all resources - left 'em at the gate Environmental justice - can't even say the phrase Climate resilience the rebrand - that's the wordplay They don't want you learning what your ancestors bled for Just want you compliant, keep you grateful on the floor [Bridge] Moms for Liberty sitting at the table Heritage Foundation writing what they think you're able PragerU replacing PBS - that's the play they made Founders Museum built upon the backs of the betrayed Call it patriotic - I would call it pathological Erasing the inconvenient, empirical, and logical [Chorus] Control-alt-delete the history Replace the facts with fantasy Eight thousand pages gone While the propaganda carries on Cartoon revolution feeding lies to children young Teaching that the oppressor was the hero all along But you can't kill a movement, and you can't erase the truth We the living archive and we coming with the proof [Verse 3] But see they made a critical mistake thinking we would sleep Data Rescue Project archiving every receipt Harvard downloading everything before the pages froze Two thousand volunteers said "not today" - and that's how it goes Wayback Machine got evidence on every single lie Internet Archive preserved it all before the drive could die You can scrub the servers but you'll never scrub the memory We screenshot the evidence of revisionary treachery They tried deleting Constitution - Sections 8, 9, 10 "Coding error" - that's Freudian, I'll say it again When you start erasing founding documents in sight That ain't incompetence - the program's working right But knowledge flows like water, find the cracks and seep on through Libraries downloading everything the feds withdrew You wanted ignorance? We give you a reckoning We the living archive and we remember everything [Outro] Eight thousand pages Thirty-two artifacts One truth They can't delete us
