[00:00.00] 作词 : Jackson Turner

[00:01.00] 作曲 : Soulspeak

[00:18.19]Growing up in this world of enormous extremes

[00:21.02]Separated by nation but together we bleed

[00:24.02]Every struggle within reaches a point of release

[00:26.90]Rather die on my feet than have to live on my knees

[00:29.70]You need money to make money its simple addition

[00:31.92]There's people living with nothing I get the picture

[00:34.62]It's bigger than individual lives and criminal minds

[00:37.95]Hypnotized by the television listen and buy consume

[00:41.67]Public schools teaching free market values

[00:44.39]How to be exploited 101 and the house rules

[00:47.11]Communities are packed Latinos and Blacks

[00:49.75]No opportunity for ownership their people are trapped

[00:52.68]And it's real

[00:53.66]Can't invest in the quality of life when

[00:56.47]All the money leaving following the white man

[00:59.47]And he never gonna fight fair **** a dream

[01:02.12]Type cast living the American nightmare

[01:05.37]Ghetto teens on the block with crack rocks and stash spots

[01:08.82]Trying to eat and increase their back pocket

[01:11.29]Ain't no laptops pools or backyards

[01:13.73]Just concrete steal bars and get wars

[01:17.23]The hood is part of your identity

[01:19.42]So you struggle till the day you rest in peace and never leave

[01:22.44]Trying to hide from the pain in a bottle of Pueto-Rock rum

[01:26.07]Your job sucks cleaning **** with a mop bucket

[01:29.09]At your local Block Buster

[01:30.49]You knocked up a fast little cock-loving chick with no condom on

[01:35.08]Now you gotta deal with child support

[01:37.31]And the cycle continues trapped like a dying dog

[01:40.95]Growing up in this world of enormous extremes

[01:43.88]Separated by nation but together we bleed

[01:46.84]Every struggle within reaches a point of release

[01:49.83]Rather die on my feet than have to live on my knees

[02:15.72]Look up the meaning of property it's as simple as pie

[02:18.59]They keep the pieces for themselves and they leave us the side dishes

[02:21.94]If this is a contest it's mission impossible

[02:24.74]The business man is the pimp and the politician the prostitute

[02:28.99]Guess who the one getting ****** is

[02:30.89]They call us criminals they don't know **** about justice

[02:33.80]Slums filled with laborers from the countryside

[02:36.90]Thrown off the land cause the loan was two months behind

[02:40.22]Sub-prime decency does not apply

[02:42.90]Ain't no competition when big business being subsidized

[02:46.08]You try to find a job out in Islamabad

[02:48.78]**** a nine to five

[02:49.90]You in the factory from five to nine with your neck soar

[02:52.85]Making textiles with an XLarge that's exported to dress shops

[02:56.61]On West 4th street in New York

[02:58.89]Living standards on a level that's unreasonable

[03:01.74]So you sleep on the floor

[03:03.39]Up in the morning praying for the fait of your two kids

[03:06.49]Child labor violation lies and abuses

[03:09.66]The union got you in a strangle hold

[03:12.09]Cause their working with the management to keep your wages low

[03:15.06]Bank rolled with a paper trail through the labor bureau

[03:18.39]Plus they've got the union dues that you paying to them

[03:21.39]Work you like a slave and it makes sense

[03:23.76]Cause if the goods we buy are cheap then they can pay us even less

[03:27.65]Growing up in this world of enormous extremes

[03:30.66]Separated by nation but together we bleed

[03:33.69]Every struggle within reaches a point of release

[03:36.45]Rather die on my feet than have to live on my knees

Growing up in this world of enormous extremes

Separated by nation but together we bleed

Every struggle within reaches a point of release

Rather die on my feet than have to live on my knees

You need money to make money its simple addition

There's people living with nothing I get the picture

It's bigger than individual lives and criminal minds

Hypnotized by the television listen and buy consume

Public schools teaching free market values

How to be exploited 101 and the house rules

Communities are packed Latinos and Blacks

No opportunity for ownership their people are trapped

And it's real

Can't invest in the quality of life when

All the money leaving following the white man

And he never gonna fight fair **** a dream

Type cast living the American nightmare

Ghetto teens on the block with crack rocks and stash spots

Trying to eat and increase their back pocket

Ain't no laptops pools or backyards

Just concrete steal bars and get wars

The hood is part of your identity

So you struggle till the day you rest in peace and never leave

Trying to hide from the pain in a bottle of Pueto-Rock rum

Your job sucks cleaning **** with a mop bucket

At your local Block Buster

You knocked up a fast little cock-loving chick with no condom on

Now you gotta deal with child support

And the cycle continues trapped like a dying dog

Growing up in this world of enormous extremes

Separated by nation but together we bleed

Every struggle within reaches a point of release

Rather die on my feet than have to live on my knees

Look up the meaning of property it's as simple as pie

They keep the pieces for themselves and they leave us the side dishes

If this is a contest it's mission impossible

The business man is the pimp and the politician the prostitute

Guess who the one getting ****** is

They call us criminals they don't know **** about justice

Slums filled with laborers from the countryside

Thrown off the land cause the loan was two months behind

Sub-prime decency does not apply

Ain't no competition when big business being subsidized

You try to find a job out in Islamabad

**** a nine to five

You in the factory from five to nine with your neck soar

Making textiles with an XLarge that's exported to dress shops

On West 4th street in New York

Living standards on a level that's unreasonable

So you sleep on the floor

Up in the morning praying for the fait of your two kids

Child labor violation lies and abuses

The union got you in a strangle hold

Cause their working with the management to keep your wages low

Bank rolled with a paper trail through the labor bureau

Plus they've got the union dues that you paying to them

Work you like a slave and it makes sense

Cause if the goods we buy are cheap then they can pay us even less

Growing up in this world of enormous extremes

Separated by nation but together we bleed

Every struggle within reaches a point of release

Rather die on my feet than have to live on my knees
