What is a man that stays true to the game
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that is a person that I know to well
Don’t want to know, but I don’t have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some shit, I’ll fuckin’ pound you, son
Don’t need a reason, pain I’m feelin’
I gotta vent or else I blow inside
Pre-chorus:
Introspection, termination
Can’t tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It’s gone on far too long
Chorus:
You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times
Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails, the power to survive
What is a man that stays true to the game
But can’t believe some of the things he sees
Anger’s a gift and I won’t be kept down
In poverty there is no democracy
Used needle and a crack vile
A broken bottle and a bullet shell
This urban life is so volatile
An inner city or a concrete hell
Pre-chorus
Chorus
What is a man don’t stay true to the game
Don’t care for no one, only cares for his greed
He’s playin’ God killin’ thousands of people
‘Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our souls burnin’ over oil
A politician got no feelin’
It makes my motherfuckin’ cold blood boil
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Well I see, I feel
On my way
You close your eyes, scared to think
You might see
A world that spends more to kill than to cure
Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure
It hardens me, the things I see
But I won’t break, it gives me strength
Chorus:
Our suffering, won’t always be
We’ll dominate, this nation on fire
The media it
Blinds our eyes
A people divided
And force feds lies
The black and white societies corrode
Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes
So take my hand across this land
I won’t go down, stand my ground
Chorus
This nation’s built on fighting war after war
And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for
‘Cause I won’t break, Your truth is fake
If blood ran red, You’s leave me for dead
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
You tell me peace, Well I hear gunshots all night
The scars I have, I’ve earned ’cause I’ve had to fight
An endless pain, and it won’t change
We just sat by, and watched this world die
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
