A voice of reason in all this insanity
|
So the lock him yeah they lock him up
|
In maximum security
|
They lock him up to shut him up
|
Found guilty in Philly for shooting a cop
|
Evidence of innocence but charges don't drop
|
No matter what's right or wrong
|
They've been after him for too damn wrong
|
YOU GET IN THE WAY YOU GET WASTED
|
IF YOU GET IN THE WAY
|
A Black Panther at the age of fifteen
|
Born to rage against the racist machine
|
Laying down the facts what it's like to be black
|
Not treated like a human being
|
A love for life is something that he proved
|
Wrote about John Africa
|
He wrote about Move
|
Wrote about the Philly cops
|
And the bomb they dropped
|
Burned down a city block
|
YOU GET IN THE WAY YOU GET WASTED
|
IF YOU GET IN THE WAY
|
You can cage my body but my spirit flies free
|
Your bars made of steel can not hold what feel
|
Living in this country well I've got pray
|
Because they crucify a Christ every single day
|
Sabo let the heads roll
|
Death row what a brother know
|
So quick to execute before they give a new trial
|
That's capitol punishment American style
|
They've done it once they'll do it again
|
They'll execute an innocent man
|
