Pictures of the G20 riots in Pittsburgh taken by University of Pittsburgh students. Great documentation of what really happened in Oakland.

Lyrics:
(Im gassed right now,
Not feeling good.
If you see a medic,
Would you please put your fist in the air?)

(Chorus)
That riot last night was awfully crazy, Im glad we taped it.
I ran my ass off and saw my classmates asphyxiated.
Toss some tear gas, cause stampedes,
but my bandana's all I need.
Detained at three, released at ten,
Then storm the streets and do it again.
Man I love college

I wanna go to college for the rest of my life,
Smash banks and pubs and steal Miller Lite.
Bloodthirsty Thursday , G20 night fights,
I cant get Subway cause the windows are sliced.
So Spill out Lothrop, lets get fucked up,
Tear gas or mace? Who want what?
I am the God of getting locked in the quad
By the riot squad with their judicial fraud.
Dogs start to pounce, oh shit lets bounce,
Running like lasers so we dont get tazered.
Mace isnt wasted on college kids faces,
Woke up today and all I could say is:

(Chorus)

Man, I love college. (Hey!)
I love swat teams. (Hey!)
I love airborne toxins. (Hey!)
I love college. (Hey!)

I can't tell you what I learned from school but
I can tell what ain't on the news.
Um, Yeah of course I learned some rules
like don't get gassed with no shoes on,
and don't leave the dorm til the blue's gone,
and dont get frisked on the union lawn,
when it comes to gas masks put two on,
Then tomorrow night, find a new jawn.

Dodge the pepper bomb, rubber bullets from the gun,
Even if there were a bit of anarchistic punks,
Mace isnt wasted on college kids faces.
Woke up today and all I could say is:

(Chorus)

Now if everybody would please
Put their fist as high as they can,
As high as they can,
And repeat after me:

Run! (x8)
Medic! (x4)
Yo, bro, dont taze me! (x4)
Disband! (x4)

(Man I love riots, I love em!
Night everybody, gotta get to class soon!
Police Brutality Protest goin down,
Youre all invited, Bring your friends.)

Do I really have to evacuate? Or can I just squat here the rest of my life?

0:35 , Holy shit, I didn't realize Shuffles was rioting! That's so sweet, so is this song.

[RespectIsSexy]

Great, original way to spread the word about all the bullshit that went down. I love to see that no matter what happens, humor always prevails.

[Thetainted0]

Uh dude, look up miami riots..

[dancinaudi31591]

nice work kyle. glad pitt is providing some fun for you! miss you

[shockolanu]

I think you love getting your ass beaten. I have seen no real riot in US!

On the other hand, search for the European riots. Maybe you'll learn a thing or two:

- Molotov Cocktails

- Napalm

- Lasers

- Gas masks

- Sky masks

- Motorcycle helmets.

Watch, the Athens riots. Maybe you'll learn something and next time you will not get your ass kicked AGAIN!

[llandshark]

You have a fan!

Awesome guys ... you make me miss old school Emenem.

Peace

Great video/song. Nothing like sarcasm to get a point across.

I think what happened there is ridiculous. The police took it way too far.

For the first time in my life, I wish I was a lawyer...so I could rip those cops a new one.
