the lucky few - no ca$h
sprouted from a racist seed, the white men stole the land they need / to renovate a church and state of greed, and call it something great / so every fall you could give thanks, for genocide of natives by the ranks / now you can find fast food in everytown, mcdonalds, wendy's, taco bell / and as free trade kills domestic jobs, whites blame the blacks for all their probs / and say they're the cause of unemployment, and lock 'em up for their enjoyment / although they say that we're all free, it never felt that way to me / as you sit back and watch us die, i cant help but asking "why?" / crooked cops on every block, and racist courts to lock you up / a judicial system so corrupt, if yer not white you are a criminal / but we pay these piggies salaries, they can rape and kill, but live freely / where as kids cant even smoke some pot, without fear of getting caught by the law / whites oppress the non-white neighborhoods and make the people think they are no good / don't believe everything in media, it's white man lies and propaganda / although they say that we're all free, it never felt tht way to me / as you sit back and watch us die, i can't help asking, "why?"
