American Justice Songtext / Lyric

Why does it seem that everyone

Gets a break just when it counts

While the White working class

Gets nowhere and loses ounce by ounce

I mean there's gotta be something

More to the law that tells us we are wrong

When they turn their backs and arrest

The men who made this country strong.



I've seen them send a good man

Down and lock him up for years.

While our families and friends expect

The best just to drown ourselves in tears.

We end up sitting in the yard along

With the boy while in his heart and mind

And he thinks to himself how much

More he's going to do next time.






The lying times of American justice

With a brainwashed frame built of smoke and mirrors.

The blatant lies of American justice

Becomes a shame to say Im American.



Take the time brother Stan was doing

His part and standing up for his kind

When he gets pulled in and added to his charge,

Twenty five for his hate crime.

Now, a simple assault is something

That should require a couple of days

But that being his third strike, man,

I just cant see their way.



What it all boils down to is a political boost for them

Democrat, Republican means

Nothing when theyre friends.

What we need is love for our race

And a ground swell of support

Because the bureaucracy of this land

Was given to false retort.
