RICANSTRUCTION - If I Die (live at Tompkins Square Park, NYC, 2025)

"...with the devil at my door, and he's refusing to leave" Korryn Gaines "I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? ... It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.” MLK This Rock Against Racism Tompkins Square Park riot commemoration concert was RICANSTRUCTION's first performance in several years, and this is the first performance with new guitarist, Jerome Jordan. This was also their very first live performance of the new song, If I Die This is a video I shot my crew for by Omar Villegas for a documentary about RICANSTRUCTION that is currently in the works. If I Die If I die in police custody I want you to riot for me I want you to riot for me If I die in police custody I want you to riot for me I want you to riot… for me Malcolm said I’m already dead That’s what I read it filled me with dread Chairman Fred was murdered in his bed And I still can’t get it out of my head Sirens blare and I get scared As police glare american nightmare Shared a prayer but Jesus wasn’t there and nobody sweared that life would be fair So If I die in police custody I want you to riot for me I want you to riot for me If I die Will you make a big fuss for me I want you to riot for me I want you to riot for me Sandra Bland tried to take a stand So they had her hanged the blood is on their hands Stick it to the man be the sturm und drang Maybe bang em to this song that I sang Korryn Gaines don’t forget her name We are born in flames but remain in chains Let me make it plain ain’t nuthin left to gain You’re just another pawn that’s playing their game If I die in police custody I want you to riot for me I want you to riot for me Said If I die I need you to trust in me And I want you to riot for me I want you to riot! Take to the street! There ain’t no shackles on ya feet! delete police eat the elite Without no justice ain’t no peace! Take to the street! ain’t no retreat and no defeat! Beyond this life of rhymes and beats! This battle will be bitter…sweet Nat Turner learned our freedom must be earned The court is not adjourned the tables overturned watch the city burn the politicians squirm A ghetto blaster passed the point of return One for all It’s either stand or crawl Gotta heed the call a scrawl in aerosol either fight or fall and destroy city hall They put our backs attack up against the wall…. If I die in police custody I want you to riot for me I want you to riot for me Said If I die will you make a big fuss for me I want you to riot for me I want you to riot for me If I die I need you to trust in me and I want you to riot for me I want you to riot for me if I die I ain’t sayin’ this just for me I want you to…. Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!
