Freedom

I've seen my people enslaved by these monsters I haven't seen them escape very far Still trapped by their masters, or the ones that claim they are And they've been hypnotized by those damn cars And the money and the drugs and the lights and the fame All you hear is negativity buzzin’ around their names It's time for the revolution! We need justice, that's the solution! Count the clock down from 10 to one When the alarm sounds that's when we'll run Faster, faster go until we see the sun And until we GET THAT... FREEDOM! I travel the road of the lonely samurai A Rurouni of sorts watching with my own eyes The anger and disgust in others that I see Because my skin isn't the same as these People who think that they're so pure And act like compared to us they're the Füher Or ruler of a nation to try and put us down Now that's oppression over a race, these racist clowns You act like ignorance only applies to one people But I've seen more of them than us ‘cause they don't treat us equal So don't accuse me of being niggardly When you're the one hogging all the equality Count the clock down from 10 to one When the alarm sounds that's when we'll run Faster, faster go until we see the sun And until we GET THAT... FREEDOM! And I bow to the people that wanna make a change And I wanna make a change But I don't know where to range From liberal to radical From peace to violent With a trident from Poseidon Carry a heavy spear with peace as a goal We can educate them all but punch em if they roll Too close to the line And that line is really fine Like the pen I use to write down my mind Anyway, let us all be kind ‘Cause the black man plight hasn't yet ended ‘Cause the voice of the people is constantly being “rended” Or rent with the ignorance that we're being handed Hand fed and spoon fed, forced down our throats Constantly until those are our inspirational quotes With people that aren't conscious leading the way And they want it that way They love it everyday That the fact that we can't lead our people Or at least the right way, constantly lookin’ through that peep hole To watch for the day we finally rise up! And we need to rise up, put some pride in our cups! Put the power in our glasses! So we don't see or drink out our asses! With the shit they put in front of us that they want us to live by! I may not have been born then but I've seen it with my eyes! They want us to live this type of image that they've placed in front of us! They want it to go back where we were in the back of the bus! The ignorance that they’ve envisioned us having! So they can sit in the back of the room laughing! Hoping that our society as a whole reaches its demise! They’re just that evil to put our power at a rapid decline! They wanna eradicate all of the power that we've made for ourselves! I won't go back to picking the old books off the shelves! Count the clock down from 10 to one! When the alarm sounds that's when we'll run! Faster, faster go until we see the sun! And until we GET THAT... FREEDOM! AND UNTIL WE GET THAT FREEDOM! AND UNTIL WE GET THAT FREEDOM!
