Why does it seem that everyone
Gets a break just when it counts
While the White working class
Gets nowhere and loses ounce by ounce
I mean there's gotta' be somethin'
More to the law that tells us we are wrong
When they turn their backs and arrest
The men that made this country strong
I've seen them send a good man
Down and lock him up for years
While our families and friends expect
The best just to drown ourselves in tears
We end up sitting in the yard along
With the boy while in his heart and mind
And he thinks to himself how much
More he's going to do next time
Chorus:
The lying times of American justice
With a brainwashed frame built of smoke and mirrors
The blatant lies of American justice
Becomes a shame to say...I'm an American
Take the time brother Stan was doing
His part and standing up for his kind
When he gets pulled in and added to his charge
Twenty five for his "hate crime"
Now a simple assault is something
That should require a couple of days
But that being his third strike, man,
I just can't see their way
Chorus
What it all boils down to is a political boost for them
Democrat, Republican means nothing when they're friends
What we need is love for our race
And a ground swell of support
Because the bureaucracy of this land
Was given to false retort
