Lyrics
Rags To Riches
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Only 60 years back, they hung blacks for the justice of a minor crime, go!
Fuck the police, think for yourself
Understand the accomplishment in reaching your own dreams –
Your goals are what you’ve been told to achieve
Stack that cash
Buy fine shit
Take a hit and let the drugs fuck
And fuck a bitch
These are the dreams of a drone
If they enslaved you, could you hold your own?
Knowledge is power everything grows!
These are the dreams of a drone
If they enslaved you, could you hold your own?
Knowledge is power everything grows!
Well have we now understood racism's whack
You've been told that you’ve freed the black
Listen!
There are now more men of African descent
Behind bars and under surveillance
Than there were enslaved in the 1850’s
Prosecution recruitment of slaves
History repeats discreet
Fuck your justice system
We have no power without our own thoughts
Free your mind, over the influence
We have no power without our own thoughts
Free your mind, over the influence
If the colour of your skin means you can be killed
And be powerless to get justice about it
Is it really that hard to understand aggression?
Is it really that hard to understand aggression?
Fuck your justice system
Fuck your justice system
We can be more than this
We can be more than this
Tear your town down! Riot!
Tear your town down! Riot!
Only 60 years back, they hung blacks for the justice of a minor crime
Riot!
