In case you missed it, Pharoahe Monch recently joined forces with Jack White drummer Daru Jones and guitarist Marcus Machado to form their new trio th1rt3en. Preparing to deliver their brand new album A Magnificent Day For An Exorcism (landing in full on January 22, 2021), the group has officially come through to share the project’s lead single “Fight.” Featuring an appearance from Cypress Hill, the sociopolitical-heavy protest anthem arrives complete with some cinematic visuals to more effectively convey the track’s themes.
“The driving force behind ‘Fight’ is anger,” explains Pharoah, in an official press release. “Anger at a never-ending saga that repeats itself over and over. My frustration with people not hearing the outcries, until the atrocities of the brutality have been recorded on smartphones. And still, the people allow their willful ignorance to support and protect America’s culpability.” That anger is exemplified by Jones and Machado’s backdrop, a blend of distorted Rage Against The Machine-esque guitars and steady drum work, over which Monch and B-Real reflect on the ongoing state of society.

Now I don’t know what you been told but it sounds satanic to me
Bodies left cold in the street to die in all the children in misery
And I say
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah na, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah… Fight
Fight fight the niggas and the cops
The niggas don’t win
The niggas get shot
The niggas get mopped
The niggas get knocked
The niggas get popped
The niggas get dropped
Fight fight the niggas and the cops the niggas don’t win the niggas get shotVerse 1
Basically this is a metamorphosis of the matrix
Allow me to morph into Morpheus and escape with
Metaphysical laws so lost and sacred
They’ll transform in front of your eyes and shape shift
While we fight over who the true father of Christ is
We’re suffering inside of an economical crisis
The children of the soul the righteous turn into black vampires lost and lifeless
You better protect your neck and I’m not talking about Wu-tang or Isis
They’ll pick you out of the crowd on some price is right shit
Burning cross
Water hose
Dogs and nightsticks
Yeah that’s what it use to be yeah they would usual just hang a niggas fuck em
Now they don’t have the time to decorate the trees so they buckem! FIGHT!
This little piggy killed a minor
Same piggy got paid to stay home
This next pork chop removed his body cam
And he aimed his glock at my dome This flat foot prefers choke holds
Steroids changes his mode
He shoots his blood with testosterone
Just to follow that American code.
Fight fight the niggas and the cops
The niggas don’t win
The niggas get shot
The niggas get mopped
The niggas get knocked
The niggas get popped
The niggas get dropped
Fight fight the niggas and the cops the niggas don’t win the niggas get shot
You heard of them murderers in Ferguson
The nerve of them never protecting and serving them
Its worst then the Tuskegee experiments
Inserting them with syphilis close the curtain on ’em
And admit it a ridiculous resurgence of wickedness that’s occurs
When insist it was viciousness
The trick is the picketers get depicted when picketing as pick pockets
The cops are licking their chops when they’re ticketing
Fuck democracy got to be it’s a fallacy listen follow me
Prisoners of the system acknowledge there’s no equality
There’s no apologies needed for niggas and jiggaboos
Policy is that death is the quickest way to get rid of you… so 1 for the INSTA
2 for the Tution
3 for the forefathers the had a revolution and fought…
Now that the war is cerebral let me prognosticate on the mic like Ezekiel and FIGHT
Fight fight the niggas and the cops
The niggas don’t win
The niggas get shot
The niggas get mopped
The niggas get knocked
The niggas get popped
The niggas get dropped
Fight fight the niggas and the cops the niggas don’t win the niggas get shot
