Bad World (feat. Lil Stormin Stakk)

I am not a slave I am not a slave The knowledge I obtain shifts the way I think Take me from my land put me in a cage Separate me from my tribe make me change my name Put me against my brother for a piece of land That we don't even own part of the plan Situation getting worst we just tryna live Feelin like we cursed for the color of our skin Down bad only thing left to do is trap Can't get no job gotta record shits all bad Police patrolling lights flash don't move too fast He'll pull you over put one in you go home to his fam Ain't too far from slavery if you ask me work For nothing die for nothing what does life mean Ain't too far from slavery if you ask me work For nothing die for nothing what does life mean When did life get rough like this When did life get tough like this I am not a slave black man with a name kinda strange That I'm stuck like this Came in a boat wasn't no plane Brain washed and the man took everything Now A hitter with persuasion at close range And if I strike back it's a closed thang Close call with the law before I even knew Been a victim and I couldn't even tie shoes Jumped ship if I could even swim too Cold shit no Eskimo or igloo Take me back to where I'm from Officer please I am no the one F*ck your gun I ain't about to run Don't Get to asking question like where I'm from I love being black and I mean that And you we know the white man don't like that We just tryna make a way and get our life back We was on the wrong train now we on the right track So when did life get rough like this When did life get tough like this I am not a slave black man with a name kinda strange That I'm stuck like this
