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