When a black man can't walk certain streets Without being hassaled by the pigs When the youth are forced into the school 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 People always try 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 how come i feel like a fucking slave?
