Mr. Lif - Home of the Brave lyrics

Now let's talk about self expression, true expression Open your minds without question No doubt, tell me what you're thinking about Let's try to set aside pride and clout Can you believe I feel the same exact way you do? You truly do believe these modern ways have fooled you Systems exist so we never meet each other Pretty soon from now they'll outlaw the word "brother" And that's true if they see you walking with a crew If you don't know, that means more than two I'll tell you what they'll do They'll pull over, hunt you over Kick your a**, nightstick to your shoulder I know it's unjust, as if it wasn't enough If you try to fight back they're locking your a** up And Chuck already told you that a cell is hell But I'm waiting for the phone so I'll sit for a spell Call the guard, tell him I'm a piece of God With no beliefs in his streets or his boulevards I eat, read so my mental is hard And the heat from my anger just melted the bars They reach for their guns so I put them to sleep Break the chains and put the shoes back on my feet He's on the loose with no discernible scars or marks Just the mind of Mandela and the heart of Rosa Parks So I dip, time to see the governor and mayor Tell them life ain't fair, see if they care Well they do, but only if they on the air So they appear to have a heart and make a flair But they haven't done sh** for us and that's a fact Their only function is to keep the funny money where it's at And it causes pain, stress Ask me if we need a different way of life (yes) Headline: Bush steals the presidency He needs the backing of the media what could the remedy be? The country's headed for recession reminiscent of the Great Depression Are lives worth a world of power? Easy question Planes hit the towers and the Pentagon k**ing those the government wasn't dependent on It's easy to control the scared so they keep us in fear With their favorite Middle Eastern demon named Bin Laden this year Bush disguises blood lust as patriotism Convincing the living to love "Operation Let's Get 'Em" But when he realized we don't support their attacks They needed something to distract, hmm, anthrax This further demonizes Afghanis So Americans cheer while we k** their innocent families And what better place to start a war To build a pipeline to get the oil that they had wanted before America supported the Taliban To get Russia out of Afghanistan That's how they got the arms in They're in a war against the Northern Alliance And we can't build a pipeline in hostile environments Here's what your history books won't show: You're a dead man for f**ing with American dough They k**ed several birds with one stone While you're at home with anti-terrorism up in your dome But my eyes are wide open and my TV is off Great, cause I save on my electricity cost And you can wave that piece of sh** flag if you dare But they k**ed us because we've been k**ing them for years
