I take the needle off the record
And shove it in my arm
Whenever I feel life is
Comin on too strong
They left me in a clinic fulla
Cynical motha fuckin bureaucrats
And other kinda ding bats
Livin on the tracks
The tracks in my arm said
It all depends which side the tracks your on.
Tellin me what to wear
Tellin me cut my hair
And tryin to convince me that they
Really really care
All about my health and about my wealth
But still they built the stealth
cause everybodys
Just lookin out for they self
So then I ask em
Can I have a clean needle
Hell no thats illegal!
(chorus)
cause its a crime to be broke in america!
And its a crime to smoke dank in america!
(repeat)
Yeah hit those drums now
They lockin brothers in the poorhouse
Who cant afford moorhouse
Politicians nervous
Its the only free service they provide
You wanna go inside
Theres a hot meal waitin for ya
A deal we can score ya
On a bed for a night or two
Or three or four months.
They say they lockin us up in cells
To protect us from ourselves
It smells like they got anotha
Plan in store house
Or should I say warehouse
Fulla niggas and other misfits
That couldnt turn tricks in the courthouse
Its a justice whorehouse
(chorus)
Its a crime to be broke in america!
And its a crime to be black in america!
But theres a mutiny on the bounty
In ever single county
We remember attica
But dont forget to pat a few
Other on the back as a matter of fact
Sister asatta shakur and geronimo pratt
cause amnesty international
Is fightin for political
But if your analytical
You know its much more critical than that
Percentages black is really, really whack
Can I kick a few facts yes?
Sx percent in college
From livin on the block
Twenty five percent in prison
The school of hard knocks
Fifty percent in poverty
Is livin on the rocks
Five hundred brothas on a death row box
The punishment is capital
For those who lack in capital
Because a public defender
Cant remember the last time
That a brother wasnt treated like an animal.
They say they blame it on a song
When someone kills a cop
What music did they listen to
When they bombed iraq?
Give me one example so I can take a sample
No need to play it backwards
If you wanna hear the devil
Cause musics not the problem
It didnt cause the bombin
But maybe they should listen
To the songs of people starving..
(chorus)
cause its a crime to be broke in america!
Its a crime to smoke dank in america!
Its a crime to be black in america!
Its a crime to be black in america!
Its a crime to be puerto rican
African
Native american
Asian hatian
