Bilingual
I was taken from my mother's arms
And carted off carte-blanche, what will I do
For a slave wage and some heart problems?
Out of pocket, out of context clues
Get away, get away, get away
'Cause the fear has gotten hold and I'm struggling
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
That the bar is set so low, I'm caught under it
They're awake before the rising sun
So card 'em all, cart 'em off, what will that do?
Save a space to make zeros and ones
A bigger briefcase for our boys in bluе
Get away, get away, get away
'Causе the fear has gotten hold and I'm struggling
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
That the bar is set so low, I'm caught under it
I'm long lost, I was born in this cage
I watch colors swap, but still nothing changes
Only the lock, it's getting harder to break
Hey I once heard a wise friend say, "In life, there is one goal"
For all of our brothers, we must lighten the load
So now I'm on my way to Mexico
We pardoned the criminals, put 'em in suits
Soy un bastardo de la nacion podrida
May you do to me what we've done to you
Get away, get away, get away
'Cause the fear has gotten hold and I'm struggling
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
That the bar is set so low, I'm caught under it
