Arrested In Shanghai |
Yeah? |
They were sure I was guilty, but I committed no crime |
They said: confessions bring lenience, so that put me on the line |
So I, protest the massacres at the Talliman Square |
My friends say yo, stay away man, you better not go fucking back there |
Oh. |
Watch this |
One night I might write about my opinions about the state |
And the freedom of expression they would never tolerate |
And the, military secrets that I never did steal |
I didn’t start no violence, no, and there was nobody that I killed |
No. |
So I had a clear account of all abusers of power |
And the memories of homeland all gone sour |
And I only got one weapon, it’s so plain for me to see |
My only weapon I call, poetry |
And I don’t even know why |
The truth seems like a lie |
In my cell there is no sky |
When I was arrested in Shanghai |
Now, in a world of privilege I was not born |
But, the devotion of freedom and liberty I was sworn |
So, every emotion is studied, watched their control |
Who gets paid, who gets disciplined, who gets born |
So, transmitting beams my coordinates, anywhere on Earth |
And, as radio waves, surveillance, satellite bursts |
Open up your skull and let some knowledge come in Ya, crack open the cranium and let awareness begin |
Oh. |
And I don’t even know why |
The truth seems like a lie |
In my cell there is no sky |
When I was arrested in Shanghai |
When I was arrested in Shanghai |
When I was arrested in Shanghai |
Woo! |
