Above the Law

How much money would you give to live

Above the law?

How many souls would you sell to dwell

Above the law?

As long as it's workin' in your favor

You love the law

Makin' our lives a living Hell

Above the law

So now man, with pen in his hand

Changes the lay and the law of the land

Abe helped out a bit, Martin did what he could

And it might've worked out but evil exists as well as good

Re-invent slavery, erase the war on poverty

Separate primarily (By class)

Stealthily, carefully

Go 'head and ring that bell

And open the market

Do the ones that work the most

Get to put any money in their pocket?

How much money would you give to live

Above the law?

How many souls would you sell to dwell

Above the law?

As long as it's workin' in your favor

You love the law

Makin' our lives a living Hell

Above the law

So now you say we're all created equal

But the sound of the gavel tells quite another sequel

Black boy on drugs, imprisonment and a heavy fine

White boy on drugs, rehab and treatment to restore his mind

Re-invent slavery, erase the war on poverty

Separate primarily (By class)

Stealthily, carefully

Go 'head and ring that bell

And open the market

Do the ones that work the most

Get to put any money in their pocket?

How much money would you give to live

Above the law?

How many souls would you sell to dwell

Above the law?

The game is fixed, pure poli-tricks

The game is fixed, pure poli-tricks

Usin' religion as a deadly weapon

Dealin' with me unrighteously, oh

How much money would you give to live

Above the law?

How many souls would you sell to dwell

Above the law?

As long as it's workin' in your favor

You love the law

Makin' our lives a living Hell

Above the law

We can't live above the law

I can't live above the law

No one can live above the law

She can't live above the law

No one is, no one is above the law
