Don’t try to act like you don’t know what it is/
You searching for the truth I’m a show where to dig/
Where what you holding to live/ could have you holding a bid/
And they place a world of weight on the shoulders of kids/
And they cook up their dreams on the eyes of stoves/
And if you get any sleep only one eye is closed/
Where lies are told that make us die for clothes
And fight for crumbs to add up and drive a rolls/
Where paying the bill is harder than fuck/
Like pissing in the wind and catching it in a cup/
Where soldiers line up with their gats in tuck/
And cops try to put our hands behind our backs in cuffs/
Where politicians only show up/ every four years/
And promise to build things that never appear/
If this the home of the brave why we living in fear/
Yeah they dropping bombs but they ain’t got dropping them here/

Hip-Hoping and sharing cropping it's all the same
Flash your chain and your watch but you don't own a thing
The pride of a panther, too wild to tame/
So ain't nothing but to bang/

So we bang (For Justice) Bang (For Freedom)
Bang (For Justice) Bang (For Freedom)
Bang (For Justice) Bang (For Freedom)
Bang (For Justice) Bang (For Freedom)


Strange fruit used to ripen on southern trees/
Now we conditioned by the subtleties/
That are slipped into our psyces/ nighty/We believe the hype despite the/
Fact it got us trading lives for nikes/
Trading crack for respect/ on ya set/And a chain around you neck/
For a check/ Real cats get animated like shrek/
And rap make believe rhymes about their make believe lives/
That don’t really live/
And I don’t give a fuck, you think I preach to much/
Say I’m to deep, you ain’t deep enough/
I Bang, cause the CIA put cocaine on planes and boats/
And brought it over here to be smoked by black folks/
The fund their military objective and nobody’s objecting/
As long as only niggas affected/
And we accept it like fools/Make jail cool/
this why the build more prisons than schools/
Gun shops and liquor stores/
So when someone’s shot dead it’s plenty of liquor to pour
The story of the black and pour living in hell
And Labels package it and ship to shelves/
