Wanna run no more (I don't....) Wanna run no more (I don't know what's a bed) They said (a change is going) WHEN (a change is going) WHEN (a change is going (...) everyday) (Immortal Technique:) Our people are the product of genocide and slavery Everything in the ghetto was how it was made to be Designed in a process, Prison Industrial Complex Niggaz transformed into numbers and objects We pay the devil rent for living in hell Cuz the projects was built on the spot where Lucifer fell Incarcerated knowledge heavy weight (Heavy Nigga) Every black man should read through the Romany Chapter 28 ~Cursed in the city like we're cursed in the field Cursed on the border, and cursed by the New World Order Our sons and daughters were stolen by another people _ end of the Earth, land of the Eagle This is the sequel to the prophecy Freedom when peaceful then violent is my philosophy I built an army, now I'm gonna build a nation The foundation of a new civilization And overthrow the plantation (chorus: Immortal Technique) MODERN DAY SLAVERY SEE?
