[Intro]
Yeah
I thought this was America, people
I thought we were innocent until proven guilty...I guess not
I don't really know what justice is while living in this system
So I figure I'll take the time out to speak on it
Listen to my heart...yeah...look, look, look, look...
[Verse]
Now home ain't home when it comes to my land's occupants
I was raised not to trust government documents
'Cuz everybody's lying, a lot of brothers dying
We aim for better, and we get k**ed for trying
I just watched the news
A gay cop tried to rape a brother, then he shot him for not complying
No law for the strong, no justice for the weak
Just take a look at FOX, they play us for the sheep
They made me the bad guy 'cuz my content is deep
But nobody hears the pain if nobody gonna speak
SHEESH! So be it, then leave me stoned
I'm too proud for that crowd, leave me alone
The worst nightmare for a n***a is see him grown
Dead by 21 is the norm for my skin tone
Yeah...and I'm 2 years past it
So now I'm cla**ified as a terrorist to these ba*tards, DAMN!

(Makes no difference who you are...) They still watching your moves, so drive slow!
(Or what color you happen to be...) That's a lie, I've been watching the system, so I know!
(Long as you're alive and breathing...) We still live in the struggle, and that's real!
(That's real!) That's real! (That's real!) That's real! (That's real!)
