Текст песни
I carry this weight in my heart
My soul been in pain from the start
I watch how they treat us and all I can do is pray to Allah
The American dream we're walking up from became a facade
Appears to be gold and silver it's clearly a painted mirage
Why don't you care for us
Why do you tear us apart and love to disparage us
Controlling the narratives
Was born in America
But My taxes go to killing Arab kids who look just like me you tell me who's the terrorist
50 stars arrogantly shine in the black sky
One by one I look them in the eye and I ask why
Streets speak loud keep my ear to the pavement
Cause Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
He wonders where they went
His momma is gone, father is gone
There's ice in his veins, ice in his heart, ICE in his home
They keep the camaraderie weak and indecisiveness strong
Pit us against each other sit back and watch us fight with our own
I used to think the ignorance was so blissful
Til reality checked me and I got hit with a fistful
My thinking was wishful
His thinking was realistic he couldn't escape the hood so he slept with a pistol
A million and one issues
To keep us all marching with signs
And keep us all marginalized
And make sure our hearts are deprived
And they won't see the people all they'll see is the dollar signs
Til the revolution starts and they can watch as their profits decline
50 stars arrogantly shine in the black sky
One by one I look them in the eye and I ask why
Streets speak loud keep my ear to the pavement
Cause Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
Freedom ain't free in the land I was raised in
