They have created a system

That targets out children

And creates a funnel to mass incarceration

In our nation.

And your futures determined

By tests you have taken way back in the third grade

They think that they know behavior

They're society's savior.

But the truth is that the system's not your friend...

And If u don't count the cards the house will always win.

 

Show us the way

To shine the light on injustice.

Show us the way

To make it all understood.

Show us the way

To make a change in the system.

 

And restore the faith that makes America good.

 

The prisons are filling with young men of color

Who battle the system

And spin their whole life losing.

Who they fooling?

A cokehead in buckhead

A crackhead on bankhead

Are not the same thing in the eyes of politicians

Do u see their vision?

 

Under the laws we live they tie our judges hands.

They can only judge the crime but cannot judge the man.

 

Show us the way

To shine the light on injustice.

Show us the way

To make it all understood.

Show us the way

To make a change in the system.

 

And restore the faith that makes America good.
