paroles de chanson Your Mans Behind the Wire - Triz Nathaniel



Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
In the streets of D.C.
Three o'clock in the morning
Boom boom boom "it's the police
Show me your hands and toes please"
Jesus Christ, not again
Why this keep on happening?
Then next thing you know
They snatching up your big bro
They pay no heed to the kids screaming
Or the mother watching her son bleeding
Smash the place up for no reason
Hunting us like it's duck season
We don't need 'em but they need us
For the slave population
Ain't much changed since the Civil War
Now they're calling it "prison labor"
Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
They take you to Central Booking
Could be hours, could be days
Til you get to see a judge
But not even about your case
All they do is set a date
And til then you might gotta wait
Even with a clean slate
So motherfuck a magistrate
If you're black in the USA
Then you are automatically
Guilty off jump street
Even though they jumped you in the street
It's turned into a industry
Probably gon' be the end of me
They do anything for you to cop a plea
Put a deal on the table like a centerpiece
Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
Round the world they see this nation
Clear as day for what we are
Racists who spit in the face of
What we say we stand for
Freedom. Period
But they don't want a end to our sentence
So they went and invented
The 13th Amendment
Once you're labelled "criminal"
You'll never again be a citizen
This disease congenital
Affecting all our men and women
Black people let's stand together
We already know the way
We outchea no matter the weather
Til your mans come to stay
Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
Men with badges and with guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man alive gotta stand behind
Your mans behind the wire
