American Justice
You read parchment at candle light
Try to remember when the day was bright
Once you see your footprints in the sand
Don't take your time just place your flag
You built this world so you make the rules
You own the books that they read in schools
Take the test kid, but don't you fail
Or You'll end up in war or in jail
American Justice
Proud to be alive
American justice
Not if you survive
I break the law and I get arrested
You break the law and you call it investment
Come to the top floor here's your chance
Then push me down the elevator shaft
You say it's wrong to be on your knees
Unless it's on a black neck yelling I can't breath
You say they're a danger to our families
Lock up their children, throw away the keys
American justice
Proud to be alive
American Justice
Not if you survive
You tell me that they're to blame
Then sing the same song with a different name
If I hate myself more than I hate you
Then there ain't nothing you can't put me through
American justice
Proud to be alive
American Justice
Not if you survive
American Justice
Hold on to your pride
American Justice
Only if you're white
American justice
Proud to be alive
American Justice
Not if you survive
American Justice
Hold on to your pride
American Justice
Only if you're white
Try to remember when the day was bright
Once you see your footprints in the sand
Don't take your time just place your flag
You built this world so you make the rules
You own the books that they read in schools
Take the test kid, but don't you fail
Or You'll end up in war or in jail
American Justice
Proud to be alive
American justice
Not if you survive
I break the law and I get arrested
You break the law and you call it investment
Come to the top floor here's your chance
Then push me down the elevator shaft
You say it's wrong to be on your knees
Unless it's on a black neck yelling I can't breath
You say they're a danger to our families
Lock up their children, throw away the keys
American justice
Proud to be alive
American Justice
Not if you survive
You tell me that they're to blame
Then sing the same song with a different name
If I hate myself more than I hate you
Then there ain't nothing you can't put me through
American justice
Proud to be alive
American Justice
Not if you survive
American Justice
Hold on to your pride
American Justice
Only if you're white
American justice
Proud to be alive
American Justice
Not if you survive
American Justice
Hold on to your pride
American Justice
Only if you're white
