| As I look up at the sky
|
| I wonder why my momma always cried
|
| Was it for how fast we lived and died?
|
| Or because we never got our piece of the pie?
|
| Busting at the seams, The American Dream
|
| Like Meth said Cream, Boulevard of Broken Dreams
|
| Parents with good intentions never mention
|
| The Brooklyn House of Detention
|
| Free to fly, and free to try, to get our peace before we die
|
| Free to fly, and free to try, to get our piece of the pie and die
|
| Locking us down, we got cops all around
|
| The sound of sirens drown your own heart’s pound
|
| But you only wanted a piece of the pie
|
| And in your mind’s eye momma’s still gonna cry
|
| No matter how hard you tried, whether it’s truth or lies
|
| On the day that you die… but we’re free to fly
|
| And free to try to get our piece of the pie and die
|
| Freedom, Liberty, The KKK, Modern Democracy, we have no say
|
| American Dream, The American Way, Land of the Free, Home of the Slave
|
| Free to fly, and free to try, to get our peace before we die
|
| Free to fly, and free to try, to get our piece of the pie and die
|
| Free to fly, and free to try, to get our peace before we die
|
| Free to fly, and free to try, to get our piece of the pie and die
|
| Freedom, Liberty, The KKK, Modern Democracy, we have no say
|
| American Dream, The American Way, Land of the Free, Home of the Slave
|
| Freedom, Liberty, The KKK, Modern Democracy, we have no say
