When a black man can't walk certain streets Without being ha**led by the pigs When the youth are forced into a school system Designed to break the will of the kids When you don't feel safe walking the streets Of your own f**ing hometown Just cause you look different People always try to push you around So this is freedom? Live in a capitalist system that says
You gotta work just to survive But when you're stuck in a dead end job Are you really alive? Then they tax us on what we earn To pay for their f**ing wars The cold war, war on d**, The secret war out on the poor Go to school, learn a trade, do as I say you better behave If this is freedom how come I feel like a f**ing slave?
