There is nothing happy about these days
Open your eyes we are all government slaves
For the same people that gave us Ebola and Aids
The same corporations that denied you a raise
The day after the bank told you to be out in 30 days
And all a single mother can do is watch her son as he prays
For a life that’s not as hard
Tell me why we pay the prison guard
More than the teachers
What if we switched it around and kept more seniors
In the high school bleachers
Instead of behind bars with lace-less sneakers
Everyone is a slave, only some are aware
That the governments releasing poison in the air
The things that they kept from us down in the President’s lair
All of the lies from the news casters
So easily confuse you bastards
When you convince people of what they see
And what they hear on the TV
Is what there really is to tell you and me
There is a system in place
Thriving on secrecy and deception
Classic misdirection for the inception of beliefs and fears for the public to consume
The way that the public seems to loom
In an unending state of limbo
Only getting a slice of truth, the real story as big as Kimbo
And so we roll the dice
Everyday with our life
A white man can conceal a weapon, black men cant carry a knife
Who protects us when the cops turn
Because I know that the sheriff is under a hood when I see the cross burn
Trayvon Martin resting in the urn
And George Zimmerman was a free man after court was adjourned
And the presence of police at peace protests is what keeps parents concerned
Why are we letting the injustices of cops bring back the riots of the 50’s and 60’s
Before the progress made by JFK, the Malcoms, the Martins, the Tupac’s & Biggies
The way that we got to the days of the Usher’s and Brittanys
Before the heroin they gave your grandfather ruined his kidneys
How come we use West Africa to test out the deadly diseases?
Has anyone ever questioned the reasons?
Right before saying the pledge of allegiance
What really happened to with Apollo 11?
Have they ever answered that question?
And I still maintain
That the government knew about 9/11
And used it as an excuse to take down building 7
Not caring about Kevin
Who prematurely went to heaven
With my churches reverend
There was too much heat coming down
So they dropped the buildings to the ground
And hid what they found
But the real thing buried in the rubble
Was the notion of the American struggle
As we lined up against the Middle East like we came out of the huddle
Its time for the people to write a truthful history book
That explains everything the powers at be want to overlook
How white men were the first ones cooking crack
And selling to the ghetto way back
And Eazy E tried to say that
And then they gave Eric HIV aids through his water tap
But if you take a look at
Nancy Reagan with her white hat
She only started just say no when it crossed the train track
And started to affect the way the suburbs act
So how is it that the public doesn’t know Egypt had a black pope
And they think it was fine to call Bird the Great White Hope
Just so that David Stern could get the masses to cope
With the fact the league
Was being run by show time: Magic Kareem
But that’s not how they made it seem
On the TV Screen
Or else Boston would cause a scene
And I’ll keep this going
Until snoop stops smoking
Marijuana
Until I’m sent to live in a cabana
Smoking a Cubana
With Tupac in a boat off the coast of Nicaragua
