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."
