Above The Law |
| How much money would you give to live |
| Above the law |
| How many souls would you sell to dwell |
| Above the law |
| As long as it’s workin' in your favor |
| You love the law |
| Making our lives a livin' hell |
| Above the law |
| So now man with pen in his hand |
| Changes the lay and the law of the land |
| Abe helped out a bit, Martin did what he could |
| And it might’ve worked out but evil exists |
| As well as good |
| Re-invent slavery |
| Erase the war on poverty |
| Separate primarily by class |
| Stealthily, carefuly |
| Go ahead and ring that bell |
| And open the market |
| Do the ones that work the most |
| Get to put any money in their pocket? |
| How much money would you give to live |
| Above the law |
| How many souls would you sell to dwell |
| Above the law |
| As long as it’s workin' in your favor |
| You love the law |
| Making our lives a livin' hell |
| Above the law |
| So now you say we’re all created equal |
| But the sound of the gavel tells quite another sequel |
| Black boy on drugs imprisonment, and a heavy fine |
| White boy on drugs rehab and treatment to restore his mind |
| Re-invent slavery |
| Erase the war on poverty |
| Separate primarily by class |
| Stealthily, carefully |
| Go ahead and ring that bell |
| And open the market |
| Do the ones that work the most |
| Get to put any money in their pocket? |
| How much money would you give to live |
| Above the law |
| How many souls would you sell to dwell |
| Above the law |
| The game is fixed |
| Pure poli-tricks |
| The game is fixed |
| Pure poli-tricks |
| Using religion as a deadly weapon |
| Dealing with me unrighteously |
| How much money would you give to live |
| Above the law |
| How many souls would you sell to dwell |
| Above the law |
| As long as it’s workin' in your favor |
| You love the law |
| Making our lives a livin' hell |
| Above the law |
| We can’t live above the law |
| They can’t live above the law |
| She can’t feel above the law |
| He can’t live above the law |
| Tell 'em he can’t live above the law |
| I can’t live above the law |
| No one can’t live above the law |
| She can’t live above the law |
| (No one is) No one is above the law |
