Cold nights, in a hot state,
So many young souls need a hot plate,
How the fuck we treat those who fought great,
Came back home and now they not great,
American hero, tell me the cause,
American soil, I'll tell you the flaws,
The city streets a real version of OZ,
Cops on the streets grabbing us like claws,
Ready to catch and snatch anybody on the loose,
Handcuffs, the modern-day nuise,
Shotguns, they aim and they shoot,
When they weapon up and tie up the boots,
Get rid of the suits, replace them with honesty,
Chances slim, like a jackpot lottery,
Fuck your lies, coming in like a robbery,
Revolution, that's what's it gotta be,
They want to take away our freedoms and our liberty,
Cage us up like animals and throw away the key,
Ain't no justice for the powers that be, and we see,
Who exactly is our friend and sworn enemy,
Money makes no sense, when rent's due,
Get a speeding ticket, which prevents you,
Paying your bills on time, online,
Half a day wasted in the courthouse line,
What's getting ahead in the American Dream,
When you fighting to survive in American greed,
Humble in poverty, the arrogant lead,
Ain't no vision but a wish of the innocent freed,
Smoking my weed, trying to calm my nerves,
Sleep is a need, to find a lawn or curb,
Kicked to the ills and the chills of the streets,
While others make mills and steal from the weak,
No need for the luxury, what about basics,
Dollars signs lead the blind and we face it,
I preach patient, passion, persistence,
Maybe, it's time to preach a resistance,
