Lyrics Symbol of Hope - Whole Wheat Bread

Symbol of Hope

Just like in New Orleans you are all now under marshal law
And what ever happened to America, land of the free?
Yea, But not me
Give us your poor your tired your weak and while you’re at it
Give George Bush and his corporation, oops I meant his administration
Give them all of your money
Cause, see they don’t car about the poor
They care about money and oil, which equals death and war
But we say now is the time to stand and fight
And take back our country from those in power
I know they’ve got the guns but we’ve got the hopeless standing
Together and take back what’s ours
Somebody screaming something, nobody seen it coming
The streets are bleeding and all you can see is people running
These are the repercussions
The pledge of allegiance doesn’t mean you have your freedom cousin
That shit to me ain’t nothing
I ain’t gonna bow down to no man, no flag
Shit I’ll take my own stance, solute myself with both hands
This land is your land
This is for me and mine, so let my people shine
Fuck your folks man
I represent the voices of the weak and poor
Getting exploited for the need for more
And usually all the greedy whores turn their back
On my community to go compete in wars
This is the state of the nation
They got your neighbor at the station
This is the state of the nation
They got your neighbor at the station
This is the state of the nation
They got your neighbor at the station
This is the state of the nation
Outcast in the streets
First thing people see
Light brown skin tone and my shiny gold teeth
Just like that call me black trash
What the fuck you staring at
Dirty Skeet, busting back
Read it in the newspaper, just another casualty
Institution life, hard times follow after me
Fuck incarceration
Stuck growing up to be lost in the system brainwashed by the enemy
They don’t give back nothing to the lower class
And tell that I’m supposed to vote for that
Nigga I’m here to put an end to the joke
I’m not a thug motherfucker, I’m a symbol of hope
This is the state of the nation
They got your neighbor at the station
This is the state of the nation
They got your neighbor at the station
This is the state of the nation
They got your neighbor at the station
This is the state of the nation
This is the state of the nation
