| I remember how I used to feel
|
| Things just seemed so sweet
|
| Now they don’t
|
| And it’s so hard to see
|
| I remember how I used to be
|
| Now it’s all just changed
|
| And I’m cold in the grave
|
| It’s like I won’t ever be the same, no
|
| Now I’m alone
|
| But I used to have it all
|
| But now, I’m slipping and I’m falling down
|
| Them days seem so close
|
| But somehow they’ve gone so far away
|
| See something just ain’t right
|
| See your government kill others
|
| For a wage that’s how we waste life
|
| I bleed, you bleed, we bleed together
|
| Getting lost up in the system
|
| That teaches us to be separate
|
| Easier and ignorant when we’re locked up in sections
|
| As one, we’re strong, hold on, never let up
|
| I’m fed up living in this world
|
| Where they tell us we’re nothing
|
| Without money to show and to represent us
|
| But damn my skin color
|
| Cause we’re still brothers and sisters
|
| Don’t let them tell you any different.
|
| I’m still trapped in this system
|
| I’m locked in this prison
|
| We’re still trapped in this system
|
| I’m locked in this prison
|
| But I used to have it all
|
| But now, I’m slipping and I’m falling down
|
| Them days seem so close
|
| But somehow they’ve gone so far away |
