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?
