Wealth in Chains
Tear down these fucking walls
Rip out the fucking veins
Cut the head from the body
We never left the chains
Another profit system
Oppression in design
Victimize populations
School to prison pipeline
Sentries in the street
Enforce prejudice beliefs
Place private property above me
Soldiers march to the beat
Of racist beliefs
And target marginalized minorities
A past fiction informs present policy
This is an extended slavery
Front of the pack
In prisoners
Police the world
Our signature
Tactics of war
Followed us here
But the police still act out of fear
Born as a criminal
Born as invisible
Incarcerate-
The wealthy class
That built these walls
Upon our backs
Incarcerate-
The wealthy class
That built these walls
To make some cash
Rip out the fucking veins
Cut the head from the body
We never left the chains
Another profit system
Oppression in design
Victimize populations
School to prison pipeline
Sentries in the street
Enforce prejudice beliefs
Place private property above me
Soldiers march to the beat
Of racist beliefs
And target marginalized minorities
A past fiction informs present policy
This is an extended slavery
Front of the pack
In prisoners
Police the world
Our signature
Tactics of war
Followed us here
But the police still act out of fear
Born as a criminal
Born as invisible
Incarcerate-
The wealthy class
That built these walls
Upon our backs
Incarcerate-
The wealthy class
That built these walls
To make some cash
