Crack cases, ID them with black faces
Then label it black crime
Now them just a few cases
They profit off blacks dying
Headlines, white washed baptized
From the plantation to incarceration
Y'all made all your money with our bodies whipped and chained up
Now we making money talkin' bout our whips and chains, huh?
I am not a slave to the system that was made
To condition white people to keep colors in their place
One nation under God but there's two Americas
Land of opportunity, the home of iron bars
Some will go the distance, others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard
Amen (amen) gospel echo through the yard
I ain't even gon' lie
I-i ain't even gon' try
My hand at these games where we just get played
And wagers get placed on life
Why, would we take a shot when the barrel's still hot?
From the last brother they stopped then they killed on the spot
How you gonna play the victim after you commit the crime
Is that the way the system was designed?
(That's how they built this shit, right?)
How you gonna play the victim after you commit the crime?
'Cause that's the way the system was designed
(Get out, we're flippin' over)
Nation under God but there's two Americas
Land of opportunity, the home of iron bars (yea-yea-yeah)
Some will go the distance, others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard
Amen
One nation under God but there's two Americas
Land of opportunity, the home of iron bars
Some will go the distance, others won't get very far
Hear the gospel echo through the yard
Amen (amen)
You don't know, you don't know me like Tip said in '04
Or was it '05? It don't matter I
Got put on game a few years before that
Back when I was like fifteen
Huey P and BET
And if you don't know this system is bogus
You ain't my team
