Mr. Lif - Home Of The Brave Lyrics
Now let's talk about self expression, true expressionOpen your minds without questionNo doubt, tell me what you're thinking aboutLet's try to set aside pride and cloutCan you believe I feel the same exact way you do?You truly do believe these modern ways have fooled youSystems exist so we never meet each otherPretty soon from now that I'll long the word "brother"And that's true if they see you walking with a crewIf you don't know, that means more than twoI'll tell you what they'll doThey'll pull over, hunt you overKick your ass, nightstick to your shoulderI know it's unjust, as if it wasn't enoughIf you try to fight back they're locking your ass upAnd Chuck already told you that a cell is hellBut I'm waiting for the phone so I'll sit for a spellCall the guard, tell him I'm a piece of GodWith no beliefs in his streets or his boulevardsI eat, read so my mental is hardAnd the heat from my anger just melted the barsThey reach for their guns so I put them to sleepBreak the chains and put the shoes back on my feetHe's on the loose with no discernible scars or marksJust the mind of Mandela and the heart of Rosa ParksSo I dip, time to see the governor and mayorTell them life ain't fair and see if they careWell they do, but only if they are the heirSo they appear to have a heart and make a flairBut they haven't done shit for us and that's a factTheir only function is to keep the funny money where it's atAnd it causes pain, stressAsk me if we need a different way of life (yes)Headline: Bush steals the presidencyHe needs the backing of the media what could the remedy be?The country's headed for recession reminiscent of the Great DepressionAre lives worth a world of power?Easy questionPlanes hit the towers and the PentagonKilling those the government wasn't dependant onIt's easy to control the scared so they keep us in fearWith their favorite Middle Eastern demon named Bin Laden this yearBush disguises blood lust as patriotismConvincing the living to love "Operation Let's Get 'Em"But when he realized we don't support their attacksThey needed something to distract, hmm, anthraxThis further demonizes AfghanisSo Americans cheer while we kill their innocent familiesAnd what better place to start a warTo build a pipeline to get the oil that they had wanted beforeAmerica supported the TalibanTo get Russia out of AfghanistanThat's how they got the arms inThey're in a war against the Northern AllianceAnd we can't build a pipeline in hostile environmentsHere's what your history books won't show:You're a dead man for *****ing with American doughThey killed several birds with one stoneWhile you're at home with anti-terrorism up in your domeBut my eyes are wide open and my TV is offGreat, 'cause I save on my electricity costAnd you can wave that piece of shit flag if you dareBut they killed us because we've been killing them for years
