catch the thrown

Singer:public enemy

what you reap is what you sow

and what you keep is what you owe

and what the people want to know

is whose gonna catch the thrown?

and what you got is what they want

and what they see they say they need

and people bleeding from the greed

now whose gonna catch the thrown?

thrown at

thrown under

thrown to the side

throwin up disgusted

so were throwin down

thrown under the bus draggin on the

ground

power to the people salute the underground

against those standing

in mansions

spittin at us from up that higher ground

feed the people

fight the power

fix the poor

but that 1% done shut the door

in god we trust on money

is a slap in the face

to the rest of the whole human race

post racial wealth and taste

change a name

but you cant change race in the united states

people say they kings

plus say they're queens

if we all don't eat

what does it all mean?

we watch and listen

but i'll leave it alone

but who's gonna catch the thrown?

what you reap is what you sow

and what you keep is what you owe

and what the people want to know

is whose gonna catch the thrown?

and what you got is what they want

and what they see they say they need

and people bleeding from the greed

now whose gonna catch the thrown?

divide and conquer

oldest trick in the game

war between people who are really the same

as the rich get richer

the poor get bitchin

the people keep kissin

the feds don't listen

this recession seen a black depression

in a nation headed for desperation

no quarterback and sacked on a couch

sound of black america is ouch

governments don't love you

when prisons and executions

end up looking like some final solutions

murder is an institution

backed up and hacked up

by some handwritten constitution

do what you do

buddist christian hindu muslim & hebrew

you are what you do

i be seein human beings as stew

yet never have so many been screwed by so few

we watch the kings&queens

and what they own

but

who's gonna catch the thrown?

the system is designed to incriminate

genocide was devolved to eliminate

equality is a myth

they had me in jail for a crime i didn't even commit

a stereotype

they feel every color is inferior right

brothers who resist are considered a threat

from sitting bull to malcolm x

in the land of the free and suspect elections

john kennedy had the mob connections

president reagan sold guns to iraq

yet they try to say that criminals are all black

whats up with these corrupt politicians

and drugs they be shipping

but they never go to prison

this fucked up system better never try to bag me

fuck zimmerman

guilty

clearly

catch the thrown

you got to testify

is that the 1% that you need says that you occupy

catch the thrown i got ta testify

is that the 1% that yall want says that you occupy

free the mind prisoners

they ain't listening

f the popo

but who dat whistling?

foes making a killing

juxtaposed against those getting a livin

gimme shelter cause these issues be official

is the need to feed

replaced by the greed?

i ain't trying to yell at you

sell to you

some bs they already told to you

ended up being sold to you

did i mention?

cheapest price is to pay attention

now the test is just being at your best

with that you can

hold your own

but who's gonna catch the thrown?
