[Verse 1 : J.A.Y.J]
Last time I checked I came on a slave ship
And last time I checked I was working double shifts
Now pay attention to this
The problem is
I knew what I wanted and someone stole my list
Placing shackles on my mind
Taking shackles off my wrist
Views to make me blind these gla** ceilings
I resist
I resist!
Your party politics
And your terrorists
Your cla** and cla**ists
The way I see it only a few are rich
Got everyone else on a waiting list in factory lines
Working over time
Spending what they made to ease their minds
The struggle is great
The pain is real
But Our lips are sealed
Because out dreams are real
[Chorus : J.A.Y.J ]
All because I'm young they try to fool
Building their prisons to try to hold me
I'm young but you can't control me
Try all you want but you can't control me now
Can't control me X 3
You can't control me now
[ Verse 2 : B Cimple ]
What's wrong we just living life to the fullest
All i want to do is rap
Ain't got time for dodging bullets
They say knowledge is power
But We don't know how to use it
So I take it with a daily dose of herb
And I fuse it with this music that I'm feeding ya'll
And things won't change unless you get involved
Cause the government will never try to save us all
Yea they say the truth hurts
Being controlled by different versions of religion since birth
They say Christ was born in Bethlehem so he can't be white
Youths use common sense and paint these pictures right just
Open up your mind a bit
And lets acknowledge it don't sit quietly
And let the white man plague us with his viruses
Forced to co-exist so we be rolling blunts and spliffs
To elevate our minds
Seeking further knowledge of the way to live our lives
Don't be fooled by your pride
The better way is to survive
BC
[Chorus : J.A.Y.J ]
All because I'm young they try to fool
Building their prisons to try to hold me
I'm young but you can't control me
Try all you want but you can't control me now
Can't control me X 3
You can't control me now
[Verse 3 : Feint Ink ]
It goes one word
Two stories
Different lives
Same memories
History being fed to us
Slavery is a happy meal
Diet sodas, nuclear waste
Pretty much are the same
Who you trying to fool
I do not believe
In your saving grace
Only weapon of ma** destruction
Is the human brain
Searching for terrorist
Without existence they escape
Fighting wars over nothing
But for the fun of it
While power is being used
Just to get away from it
Minds are bought for decisions
Via trade ships
Yet hierarchy flourishes
Though we all basic
Our rights are controlled
By a system
Who made it
No one knows
But we follow lead
Like puppet strings
Rather walk alone
On a path that I painted
Than live in lies
Heard many times while conflicted
Raise my hands to ask questions
Always met with
You're too young
Too foolish
Don't try to explain this...
