when everyday)

ain't nothing changed except the chains

that restraining our physical frame

mentally we still living the same

its lock down

they knock down the towers to raise tax

anything they burn we pay back

i live in the hood; you'll never bump into pat seajack

but we spin the wheel every time we chill

cuz cops hate blacks

and hispanics they draw gats

and just slam it before the ask where your hand is

i don't see how a wallet can be mistaken for a cannon

so please don't let em play us no more

in everyway i'm ready

willing

and able to war

like any day i could pop i'd be in the front

like

please let the force be with me in this pump

housing want me to work cuz i'm still on my mom's lease

threatening to raise the rent if i don't pick up them park leaves

ain't nothing in this world for free

but somehow they got us fooled that this world is free

this is modern day slavery

you see

carry i.d. water is a fee

this ain't how it's supposed to be man

for so long trying to be strong with you

i'm exhausted

my feet hurt

wanna run no more

wanna run no more

they said

when

when everyday)

our people are the product of genocide and slavery

everything in the ghetto was how it was made to be

designed in a process

prison industrial complex

niggaz transformed into numbers and objects

we pay the devil rent for living in hell

cuz the projects was built on the spot where lucifer fell

incarcerated knowledge heavy weight

every black man should read through the romany chapter 28

cursed in the city like we're cursed in the field

cursed on the border

and cursed by the new world order

our sons and daughters were stolen by another people

end of the earth

land of the eagle

this is the sequel to the prophecy

freedom when peaceful then violent is my philosophy

i built an army

now i'm gonna build a nation

the foundation of a new civilization

and overthrow the plantation

modern day slavery see?

it was designed to be

patriot act 3
