Let's say you're livin in the inner city

You're angry young and male

They say you got a pretty good chance

My brother of winding up in jail

Incarcreation understand ia a lucrative industry

Whole towns are living on it

The 21st century slavery 

Somewhere is there a solution

If there is we've got to find it

And get our heads and hearts behind it

But right now I don't know what to do

That's why I'm feeling blue



You see a lot of guys so frustrated

They just want to kick somebody's ass

It's not just a racial thing these days oh yeah

Privilege and class

Education's a factor you can't afford to ignore

It's still the best way my brother

To even up the score
