Tree - Get in the Way lyrics

A voice of reason in all this insanity So the lock him yeah they lock him up In maximum security They lock him up to shut him up Found guilty in Philly for shooting a cop Evidence of innocence but charges don't drop No matter what's right or wrong They've been after him for too damn wrong YOU GET IN THE WAY YOU GET WASTED IF YOU GET IN THE WAY A Black Panther at the age of fifteen Born to rage against the racist machine Laying down the facts what it's like to be black Not treated like a human being A love for life is something that he proved Wrote about John Africa He wrote about Move Wrote about the Philly cops And the bomb they dropped Burned down a city block YOU GET IN THE WAY YOU GET WASTED IF YOU GET IN THE WAY You can cage my body but my spirit flies free Your bars made of steel can not hold what feel Living in this country well I've got pray Because they crucify a Christ every single day Sabo let the heads roll d**h row what a brother know So quick to execute before they give a new trial That's capitol punishment American style They've done it once they'll do it again They'll execute an innocent man
