[Buddha Monk:]
2
Two thousand and three, and I'm still a slave*
3
Trapped in a world where you're slaved to get paid
4
What happened to the thought that we shall overcome?
5
When the police is clapping at'cha and you don't have a gun
6
You still picking up cotton? The machine helps the day
7
Stand in front of the bus but you still got to pay
8
Cross at the green and not in between
9
Smoke outside and not inside where people seeing it
10
We innocent people, dying for this war
11
We don't have the land, Lord do I deploy for the war?
12
Yet I stay chained to the floor
13
You take the air, safe from it all
14
A lot of you use religion to take dollars from the poor
15
United Negro College Funds and a whole lot more
16
Pay the cost to the other side, do ya taxes
17
At the end of the year for making it right?
18
I see no change with Rosa Parks on it
19
Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King on it
20
I might as well stayed at the back of the bus
21
Why, cause still at the front, a slave is what they want
22
Yet, I drive through the valley of the shadow of the devils
23
Suburbans with the twins on it, they still got to handle
24
And so I scramble to be a street pharmacist
25
Without the man handcuffed to me, I'm still a slave
26
[Chorus(3x): ~Buddha Monk~]
27
Way down beyonder, I'm going
28
Way down beyonder, I'm going
29
[Buddha Monk:]
30
They locked us up when we try to discipline our kids
31
But we gave 'em birth, what the F is this?
32
Triple x's all around me
33
I ain't skin off my head, walking round, saying 'kill the white meat'
34
What's this shit? We all look alike?
35
We all think alike, so we all get it right?
36
Whether you got Guess on, you still a slave
37
Whether you got Gucci on, you still a slave
38
Whether you got Jordans on, you still a slave
39
Whether you wearing contacts, you still a slave
40
You ain't got President's Day
41
You ain't got the day of the unknown hooded soldiers
42
You got my fellow Americans, shoot to kill
43
If one person don't listen, just finish him
44
I ain't got no panic buttons
45
Semi automatics with the infereds on 'em
46
Nor do I have Federal Bureau Investigations
47
For killing once, a damn good nation
48
Let me not speak so close to those
49
Cause close to those, will get my death ten folds
50
So I slay on my live long days
51
And pray my children don't live this way
52
Yet I'm still a slave, trapped in the world of a slave
53
I'm still a slave
54
[Chorus x2]
