As i look up at the sky, |
|
I wonder why my momma always cried, |
|
Was it for how fast we lived and died? |
|
Or because we never got our piece of the pie? |
|
Busting at the seams, the american dream, |
|
Like meth said cream, boulevard of broken dreams, |
|
Parents with good intentions never mention, |
|
The brooklyn house of detention. |
|
Free to fly, and free to try, to get our peace before we die, |
|
Free to fly, and free to try, to get our piece of the pie and die. |
|
Locking us down, we got cops all around, |
|
The sound of sirens drown your own heart's pound, |
|
But you only wanted a piece of the pie, |
|
And in your mind's eye momma's still gonna cry, |
|
No matter how hard you tried, whether it's truth or lies, |
|
On the day that you die...but we're free to fly, |
|
And free to try to get our piece of the pie and die. |
|
Freedom, liberty, the kkk, modern democracy, we have no say, |
|
American dream, the american way, land of the free, home of the slave. |
