Crack cases, ID them with black faces
Then label it black crime, now them just a few cases
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 talking 'bout our whips and chains, huh?
I am not a slave to the system that was made
To condition white people to keep coloreds in their place (What?)
One nation under God but there's two Americas (Hey)
Land of opportunity, the home of iron bars (Yeah, nigga)
Some will go the distance, others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard, amen (Amen)
Hear the gospel echo through the yard
I ain't even gonna lie, I, I ain't even gonna try
My hand at these games, where we just get played and wagers get placed on life
Why would we take a shot when the barrel's still hot?
From the last brother they stopped then they killed on the spot, ha
How you gon' play the victim after you commit the crime?
Is that the way the system was designed? (That's how they built the shit, right?)
How you gon' play the victim after you commit the crime?
)
One nation under God but there's two Americas (Hey)
Land of opportunity, the home of iron bars (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Some will go the distance, others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard, amen
One nation under God but there's two Americas (Yeah)
Land of opportunity, the home of iron bars (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Some will go the distance, others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard, amen (Amen)
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 fifteen, Huey P and BET
And if you don't know this system is bogus, you ain't on 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 cool, get in line, give us your life
