I'm better than you
While your husband and children are sent off to war
You hang up your flag, miss
Don't ask much more
You think your side is winning
But you don't know the best in the west
We don't reason very well
And bulletproof best
It ain't money that's power
It's knowledge that's king
Better open your eyes
Sir, they ain't the same thing
You don't have either
And that's why you're doubt
They ain't never
They don't want you gone anywhere
Except six feet up
Dog lying, wolves on the screen
Whose words you believe
In those pockets are green
While you're green with envy
You guess it's okay
Mom is everybody else
It's getting stepped on the same way
You think you have freedom
But you'll wake up someday
Sir, they tax you and drug you
And work you to death
They defeat you and cheat you
Until your last breath
They may poison your body
And waste all your time
And they pull on your strings
Put it all in your mind
You think you make choices
But you're just last in line
They be churching you
Schooling you
Ruling you through
Selling you
Telling you
What's good for you to do
They abuse you
Confuse you
And use you each day
Then they paralyze you
Sterilize you
That's how they play
And you trust them
You lust them
Do you do anything they say
And they make you their pet
Cause you signed your name away
You think you have freedom
But you'll wake up someday
But still you play
Yes, you think you have freedom
But you'll wake up someday
There's just no way
You think you have freedom
