when a black man can't walk certain streets 

without being hassaled by the pigs 

when the youth are forced into a system 

designed to break the will of the kids 

when you don't feel safe walking the streets 

of your own fucking hometown 

just cause you look different 

somone trys to push you around 



so this is freedom? 



live in a capatalist 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 fucking wars 

the cold war, war on drugs 

the secret war out on the poor 



go to school, learn to trade, do as i say you better behave 

if this is freedom the y do  i feel like a fucking slave?
