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 health care 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 disrespects my sex I ain't down Down for the system That's why i resist them Lied to and betrayed (listen) Muthafuck The establishment and all that it stands for Censor and dismiss The media and demands for Sexual commodities equality void 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 deceive That's set up to deceive Based on lies that were taught to you In school History's been polluted They're treatin' you like a fool If you think that they're Playin' it straight 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 want to be down? You gotta tear it down So you say that you're Politically minded But you stay blinded Lookin' 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 At 10...you suck At 9...you're fucked At 8... you're a sucker At 7... a muthafucker At 6...you're jacked At 5 ...straight wack At 4 ...your a clown All the way to 1 And we're done Are ya down
