I've seen streets where youth are forced to take the long way home
And I've seen the mothers mourn the loss of their only born
But still I believe we are given nothing more than we can bear
Our vision is only blurred when life seems unfair
So who am I to judge the man with the needle in his vein
When he's just chasing freedom to escape the pain
Of the world's fast pace, pipe dreams, and short comings
He's just trying to make due, find a way, out of nothing
It's like we're damned if we do, and damned if we don't
And it's a very thin line between respect and being broke
And being one red button away from World War III
Always called a minority and always, always pulled over
Facing police brutality, why is every street a living hell?
Probably 'cause they want us to fail, yeah
Three strikes will surely pack the jail
Like the slave ships when they sail, whoa, whoa
Years and years of civil rights chasing to pass that bill
But ask yourself people have we changed or are we standing still?
Down and out struggling in this concrete jungle
One check away from starvation, poverty
But they say being free is about speaking your mind
But we prophesize too much and that's where they draw the line
A line as thin as the line between war and peace
A line as thin as the line between West and East
One button away from World War III
Being called a minority and being pulled
Always being pulled over and subject to brutality
Why is every street like a living hell?
Probably 'cause they all just want us to fail
And three strikes will surely pack the jail
Like the slave ships when they sail, but they don't know
My people was made to endure
My peoples all shapes and colors
My peoples got more peoples with them
That's more peoples, more sisters and brothers
My peoples stay strong as an ox
My peoples will never fail
My peoples will always remain
Remain with a story to tell
My people was made to endure
My peoples all shapes and colors
My peoples got more peoples with them
That's more peoples, more sisters and brothers
My peoples stay strong as an ox
My peoples will never fail
My peoples will always remain
Remain with a story to tell
My people was made to endure
My peoples all shapes and colors
My peoples got more peoples with them
That's more peoples, more sisters and brothers
My peoples stay strong as an ox
My peoples will never fail
My peoples will always remain
Remain with a story to tell
My people was made to endure
My peoples all shapes and colors
My peoples got more peoples with them
That's more peoples, more sisters and brothers
My peoples stay strong as an ox
My peoples will never fail
My peoples will always remain
Remain with a story to tell
