lyrics

I need to free my soul....

Watch another fall into history
Curtains drawn on it all as it's always been
Kingdoms fade into sand
Distant memories
Never learning at all
As the cycle keeps repeating

I got a homie who died
Took too many zips from that colt 45
Tired and desperate of the ghetto existence
He grabbed his cat and headed in persistence of
Money
Sex
And the American dream
Old fashioned way if you know what I mean
Started off small with one or two guys
Grossed twenty million by the age of 25
Give me your tired your young and your old
I'll buy their souls for two ounces of gold
How many children must die
Before we open our eyes
Land of opportunity and free enterprise
God bless America and all of her lies

Here we are again like deja vu
Here we are again like deja vu
The son will do as the father did
And throw the first stone
Another empire birthing thirsting for conquests
of protection
deflection is the name of the game
it's insane all the same
it's insane all the same
it's insane all the same
And if it's not oil it's tobacco
and if it's not tobacco it's gold I'm told
As old as the hills
sold for a thousand million souls
And if it's not gold
it's iron or horses
or sheep or land you can farm in due course
As long as you own it
And they don't
And if it's not land it's silver or silk
a road or a bridge to be built
Like a pathway to greater riches
Those sons of bitches
When will little men learn

Watch another fall into history
Curtains drawn on it all as it's always been
Kingdoms fade into sand
Distant memories
Never learning at all
As the cycle keeps repeating

I need to free my soul....
