If only Dr. King was right If only these bigots didn't darken the night With their lack of foresight Only trying to fight for short-term gains But I'll fight on site if you continue playing games with people's lives Intentional ignorance is how we all gonna die Seems the superhighway of justice was not so well constructed It's been collapsing faster than we can build it back but Maybe after cleaning up the rubble from the disaster of lack of Knowledge, opportunity, support, and laughter as therapy No need to fear the walk home because ain't no 5-0 Rolling up silent, guns drawn Just ready to get violent, nah One day soon that dream will come true Dr. King's message will ring through the minds of youths And all ages open to the train of progress No carbon smoking out the smoke stack No arson, no unprovoked attacks Nah, finally chilling in proximity Borders beaten down by the hands of justice heavily Holding onto equity across a variety of boundaries Color, race, creed, gender, sex, or breed Heathens and holy ones The preppy crew The lonely ones wearing hoodies sitting in the back of class The goody-goodies with their bake-sale cookies The dope fiends and bullies The polite and the crass The overachievers and the under-believers The hypermasculinity that's running up the bleachers Hyper femininity that turns girls to creatures Products of society that's run straight off the tracks 300 years has passed but we still subjugate the blacks and poor Push them down below the floor into the basement Where we keep the freaks chained with rage As they fight to escape to no avail Until all attempts to flee have failed And they accept their place as societal waste Faceless and nameless Now tell me is that what you call the land of the free? Because it seems to me that we're all enslaved Tricked by the promise of better days Flying down a superhighway to hate But we can still pump the brakes before it's too late
