Poisoned Generation
Miami, New York, L.A., Detroit 50 percent unemployed Reagonomics, free market debt Niacaragua, the troops we're sent Another generation oppressed, ignored Lives cut short, dreams deferred Politics offered no trusting choice Another flame flared from a silenced voice
Crack hit the ghettos round 83 It was money on the streets of poverty And it spread like a disease Tore the heart out of the community With Nancy Reagan saying 'Just Say No' Another white lie was good to go They poisoned a generation Protecting profit for corporations
Who we're the players, who was the boss? Selling arms to Iran at inflated costs? Was it Denilo Blandon and Ricky Ross? Or George Bush Sr. and Oliver North? From the skethbook of CIA Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The gun sales up to South L.A. They brought cocaine from Nicaragua Used the profit to train the Contras
From the E. Lee Scam to the Reagan Scam Upholding a culture of racism With housing segregation Spacial De-concentration So black and white, this game they play 3 strikes your out, that's final say Cops kidnapped folks like overseers Put em back to work as prisoners
For crack it's 5 years, maybe solitude 10 more if you take an attitude 5 months probation if you're a coked up white Set the bail real high, you can pay the price Now the prisons are private, it's a business move To put those idle hands to use Through state-corporate contracts Prison labor brought slavery back
