Oppression

Oppression, you pray on us when we sleep
Oppression, you chase after the tired, the poor ,the weak
Oppression, I swear you mean only harm
Opression, you reach out with your long arm.
But Oppression, I wont let you near me
Oh Opression, you will learn to fear me, yes you will
Oppression, you seek population control
Oppression, to divide and to conquer is your goal
Oppression, I swear that hatred is your home
Oppression, you just wont leave bad enough alone
Oppression, I wont let you near me
wooh no Oppression, you shall learn to fear me
Yes you will.
Oppression, I don't see how you sleep
Oppression, for your bleeding conscience I weep
Oppression, you may have the dollar on your side
But Oppression, from the gospel truth you cannot hide
Oppression, I wont let you near me, oh no
Oppression, you shall learn to fear me, yes you will
Oppression, I wont let you near me
Oppression, you shall fear me yes you-- wi-----llah
