"The Kids Are Alright"
Can you say that out loud in the night?
Down South under lone-star moonshine
The current state of current state is what they like
Jip me of my currency & tax me on the FIC's
Banging on a cage & I'm only five
Where is social security when we're seventy-five?
Got nothing for me but this Earth to grind
Slaving on land that was mine from the beginning of time
Fondling the children & starving them by the fence
Not irrelevant, look around & look to self-defend
On the internet, I just saw a gun & a pill
Everything for sale now the kids fiend for a bill
So big brother's eye is on an uprise
Monitor the program or just find yourself blind
I'm a menace to society because I love to resurrect
All of the dead, now the class is in full effect
Where's my baby?
How's my baby?
Under heavy skies, I told her
"Oh, don't look behind!"
Under heavy skies, I told her
"Oh, don't look behind!"
Just run, run
Just run, run
Just run, run
Just run, run
Don't look surprised, these attacks are not subliminal
To claim my brother a dealer, rapist, & criminal
I'm not only for the native sons & daughters
But for every sucker who doesn't question the water
They say : "Damn Daniel! What are you so aggressive for?"
Look through our past, Amerikkka made us Matador
So bump this rage in the coupe or in sedan
& rebel to oppressors from Africa to Japan
If you follow the money, you'll follow the blood
They have the pockets for a hit & a cover-up
If you're on this side, know it's : Rage Against System!
Never to late to assemble brothers & sisters
What's Love got to do with it?
'Cause we fight back, now we're "insubordinate"
Innovating boom-bap with a new twist
This is how we arm our destitute kids
Where's my baby?
How's my baby?
Under heavy skies, I told her
"Oh, don't look behind!"
Under heavy skies, I told her
"Oh, don't look behind!"
Just run, run
Just run, run
Just run, run
Just --
You know what it is!
My city needs no publicist
Tip-toed into the game & all I saw was counterfeits
The other day I caught the mayor at the laundromat
He got too sloppy at the restaurant where his friends were at
At every level, cash rules everything around me
But I'm that real G you sellouts are ashamed to be
You're headed down South, they say it's so clean
'Cause their police relocated more bums on my street
They're trying to hide the bodybags & their records
The misconduct, brutality, & networks
& on God, now they all want a pay raise!
The P.D.'s got to make up for settlements paid
I grew up with a voice so to God I give thanks
Now I "conversate" in a way the masses can relate
Where we come from, they pay us to stab the bull
Get you out of your zone, feel the red
Make you uncomfortable
They don't want me at home anymore
Don't know where to go
They don't want me at home anymore
El pais siempre tiene lagrimas
El pais siempre tiene lagrimas
El pais siempre tiene lagrimas
El pais siempre tiene lagrimas
I'm just tryna get to you, but ooh baby
I'm just tryna get to you, but ooh baby
I'm just tryna get to you, but ooh baby
So someone said that I'm "free"
Never, never mind just save me!
Free?
