The Birth of a Nation

Space-age times with stone-age minds Modern-day slaves no chains institutionalized Land founded on stealing and dealing Resorts to shooting n' looting This is a sign of the times Knee to the neck from those who serve n' protect In the eyes of the law you're all a suspect Don't want you to reflect on the image they project Cause when you're subject they still demand respect The last defendant of the second amendment Who's fear furloughs ongoing resentment Tear gas to the face cause his skin was brown Reminiscent of the story of Oxford Town The Black gets whacked, 6 warning shots in the back The White gets a slap on a better day sacked The Black gets killed for the white man's thrill Cause the white man gets off, labeled mentally ill Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home I hear them say get out of their country From the same ones who owe us 6 counties I don't remember a witch hunt for Kneecap Course not- cause they're not fuckin' black Rubber bullets- hit the deck, proper RUC Fired into the crowd, in Washington DC You'll never kill our will to be free Cause in our minds we hold - we hold the key Less hate, less peelers, less madness More blacks, more dogs, more Irish Less hate, less peelers, less madness More blacks, more dogs, more Irish (More blacks, more dogs, more Irish) The Black gets whacked, 6 warning shots in the back The White gets a slap on a better day sacked The Black gets killed for the white man's thrill Cause the white man gets off, labeled mentally ill Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home Break the legs To rebuild the bone Burn the house Rebuild a home
