Verse 1

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'd 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 / Hunch you over / Kick your ass / Night stick to your shoulder / I know it's unjust / As if it wasn't enough / If you try to fight back, they're locking your ass up / And Chuck (D) 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 rage, so my mental is hard / and the heat from the anger just melted the bars / They reach for their guns, so I put em 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 em life ain't fair / See if they care / Well, they do / but only if they're on the air / so they appear..to have a heart and mega flair / But they haven't done shit 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....
