Land of the Free |
| Little Jimmy grabbed his toys, went outside to play |
| How was he supposed to know he might die today? |
| Officer, he told the judge, «Jimmy had a gun» |
| Now another mother will be burying a son |
| If you don’t believe it’s true, I guess I wrote this song for you |
| You’d think I’d say these words because I hate America? |
| No |
| That’s just life for me |
| Living while black in the land of the free |
| Yeah, what it’s like to be |
| Living while black in the land of the free |
| And I’m not gonna be quiet |
| Make a little noise and they call it a riot |
| Ain’t no sympathy |
| When you’re living while black in the land of the free |
| There’s enough to go around for everyone to share |
| But a check from Uncle Sam? |
| What would that repair? |
| All the broken families, fathers in a cell |
| Slavery’s abolished, but it’s still alive and well |
| If you don’t believe it’s true, I guess I wrote this song for you |
| You’d think I’d say these words because I hate America? |
| No |
| That’s just life for me |
| Living while black in the land of the free |
| Yeah, what it’s like to be |
| Living while black in the land of the free |
| I’m not gonna be quiet |
| Make a little noise and they said it’s a riot |
| Ain’t no sympathy |
| When you’re living while black in the land of the free |
