Down

they say that equality
is for everyone
black and white, rich and poor
male... and female
bullshit
and you can fuck that american dream
livin in america
i know what it means
to be on welfare have no healthcare
walk down the street and be scared
and unprepared for a system
that's built on hate
and gives permission to rape
discriminates against color
while it wrecks
and dis-respects my sex
i ain't down.
down for the system
thaat's why i resist them
lied to and betrayed
(listen)
muthafuck
the estblishment and all that it standss for
censor and dismiss
the media and demands for
sexual commodities equality vvoid
with anorexic images of bodies destroyed
from diets to pills
to throwing up till it kills
continual false definition of what sells
ten pounds thinner, miss america winner
but i ain't down
you can keep your muthafuckin crown
not down for the system
that's why i resist them
lied to and betrayed-
you've got to raise the critical questions
bout their intentions
that you were taught to believe
talkin it from the system
that's set up to decieve
that's set up to decieve
based on lies that were taught to you
in school -
historys been polluted
they're treatin you like a fool
if you think that they're
playin it staight today
it's up to you to find out
and make it your own way
don't buy the lies
they try to disguise
you say you wanna be down?
you gotta taer it down
so you say that you're
politically minded
but you stay blinded
lokkin for the truth
eyes closed, you can't find it
they keep believin it
but the way i'm seein it
here's how i'm feelin it-
a 10...you suck
at 9...tou're fucked
at 8... you're a sucker
at 7... a muthafucker
at 6...you're jacked
at 5 ...staight wack
at 4 ...your a clown
all the way to 1
and we're done.
