Freedom over Everything

[Verse: Black Thought]

Water everywhere, still I can't drink it

I read the room as if I don't understand English

I understand man is as man thinketh

And knowledge is a power we just can't relinquish

And this senseless, cold, and offensive world

You either with the evolution or against it

The difference is prison gates or picket fences

It's big business, death is expensive

Look, hunger games by another name

Is what became of the oath that went up in flames

When another man was slain but ain't nothin' changed

Cause the sad reality is it ain't nothin' strange

Collateral death is Avenue F for all

Assumin' you rest, you could never caress the shore

You can address the lord and ask for an explanation

Dear God, who is justice for?

As if the people in the projects, tenements, trailer parks, and parishes

Who suffer from bad breaks and malnourishment

That can't expect to receive any inheritance

The ones you probably perceive as Un-Americans

Freedom over everything, I solemnly swear

I will offer no apology for sorrow or tears

Every time I look to the stars, tomorrow appears

And everybody who believes in me can follow me there
