Lyrics
0:45The ballot or the bullet
0:47Some freedom or some bullshit
0:48Will we ever do it big
0:49Or keep just settling for little sh*t
0:51We brag on having bread
0:52But none of us are bakers
0:54We all talk having greens
0:55But none of us own acres
0:57If none of us on acres
0:58And none of us grow wheat
0:59Then who will feed our people
1:01When our people need to eat
1:02So it seems our people
1:03Starve from lack of understanding
1:05Cause all we seem to give them
1:07Is some balling and some dancing
1:08And some talking about our car
1:09And imaginary mansions
1:11We should be indicted for
1:12Bullshit we inciting
1:14Hella children deaf
1:15And pretending it's exciting
1:17We are advertisements
1:18For agony and pain
1:20We exploit the youth
1:21We tell them to join a gang
1:23We tell them d**e stories
1:24Introduce them to the game
1:25Just like Oliver North
1:26Introduced us to coc*ine
1:28In the 80s when the bricks
1:29Came on military planes
1:48The end of the Reagan Era
1:50I'm like number twelver
1:51Old enough to understand
1:52The sh*t'll change forever
1:54They declared the war
1:55On drugs like a war on terror
1:57But it really did was
1:58Let the police terrorize whoever
1:59But mostly black boys
2:01But they would call us "niggers"
2:02And lay us on our belly
2:04While they fingers on they triggers
2:05They boots was on our head
2:07They dogs was on our crotches
2:08And they would beat us up
2:09If we had diamonds on our watches
2:11And they would take
2:12Our drugs and money
2:13As they pick our pockets
2:14I guess that that's the
2:15Privilege of policing for some profit
2:17But thanks to Reaganomics
2:18Prisons turned to profits
2:19Cause free labor is the
2:21Cornerstone of US economics
2:23Cause slavery was abolished
2:24Unless you are in prison
2:25You think I am bullshitting
2:26Then read the 13th Amendment
2:28Involuntary servitude
2:29And slavery it prohibits
2:31That's why they giving drug
2:32Offenders time in double digits
2:34Ronald Reagan was an actor
2:35Not at all a factor
2:37Just an employee of the
2:38Country's real masters
2:40Just like the Bushes
2:41Clinton and Obama
2:42Just another talking head
2:43Telling lies on teleprompters
2:45If you don't believe the theory
2:47Then argue with this logic
2:48Why did Reagan and Obama
2:49Both go after Qaddafi
2:51We invaded sovereign soil
2:52Going after oil
2:54Taking countries is a hobby
2:55Paid for by the oil lobby
2:57Same as in Iraq and Afghanistan
2:59And Ahmadinejad say
3:01They coming for Iran
3:02They only love the rich
3:04And how they loathe the poor
3:05If I say any more they
3:07Might be at my door
3:08Who the f**k is that
3:10Staring in my window
3:11Doing that surveillance
3:12On Mister Michael Render
3:14I'm dropping off the grid
3:15Before they pump the lead
3:17I leave you with four words:
3:18I'm glad Reagan dead
