Tekst piosenki:
Crack cases
Id them with black faces
Then label it black crime
Now them just a few cases
HOW
They profit off blacks dying
Headlines
White washed baptized
From the plantation to incarceration
Y'all made all your money with our bodies whipped and chained up
Now we making money talkin bout our whips and chains huh
I am not a slave,
To the system that was made
To condition white people to keep colors in their place
One nation under god but there's 2 Americas
Land of opportunity the home of iron bars
Some will go the distance others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard
I ain't even gon lie
I
I ain't even gon try
My
Hand at these games
Where we just get played
And wagers get placed on life
So why would we take a shot
When the barrel's still hot
From the last brother they stopped then they killed on the spot
How you gonna play the victim after you commit the crime
Is that the way the system was designed?
How you gonna play the victim after you commit the crime
Cuz that's the way the system was designed
One nation under god but there's 2 Americas
Land of opportunity the home of iron bars
Some will go the distance others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard
One nation under god but there's 2 Americas
Land of opportunity the home of iron bars
Some will go the distance others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard
You don't know
You don't know me like tip said in 04
Or was it 05? It don't matter I
Got put on game a few years before
That
Back when I was like 15
Huey P and BET
And if you don't know this
System is bogus
You ain't my team
Is this woke culture
Naive hope for
People that don't wanna believe social
Paradigms when they show us signs
That our dogmatic beliefs defeat the purpose
Did I heard right?
Oh
You want more rights?
So
Aight coo
Get in line
Give us your life
