The 13th says that everyone is free
No slavery for you, and me
But something between those lines
Criminality, and power lies
You’re free unless convicted
But the locks for these chains are fake
No matter what color or race
The deciding people are corporate
Now you have my attention
Welcome to the birth of a notion
A reckoning of epic proportions
Welcome to the birth a nation
We’re all prisoners in a way or another
I need not explain any further
Brother, father, locked up in chains
Walls of deception, a means to an end
Now you have my attention
Welcome to the birth of a notion
A reckoning of epic proportions
Welcome to the birth a nation
How do we break free from this life?
How do we run?
How do we break free from these rocks?
How do we run?
How do we break free from this life?
How do we run?
How do we run?
How do we run?
How do we, run?
The 13th Amendment to the Constitution declared that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
