Stars and Bars
Pigeonholed in two roles, it's even on the flag.
That's all you get in this land of the free. Decide: rapper, athlete, actor
Or reside in cell-block three. Stars and behind bars young black man,
That's all you'll ever be to me. You can't be a kid in a nice neighborhood
Walking to 7-11 in a shirt with a hood. But when me and my good ol' boys throw on
our sheets And gather our guns
Click-Clack It's more than all good.
But nope, not you. If you were,
You would obviously be up to no good. You can't buy skittles and tea in this land
of the free. You better learn to stay in your own hood.
It doesn't work that way, you see. Not what "Honest Abe" meant when he
proclaimed you free. No way. No how.
Not on my watch.
