lyrics

This is for the saints in the system
Fightin for the change wit ya fist up
Ya watch em on the prowl for ya
They tryna to take the crown from ya

This is for code switchin soldier
Takin from the game what it owes ya
Ya try to cash ya token in
They claim you ain’t supposed to win

I don’t know, what you did
All I know, you gotta right to live

This is for the young witcha head up
See a native son but you betta
Pressures of a world vision
Get ya locked up in ya own prison

This is for the judged and the juried
Label you a thug getchu you thirty
While the White collar king pins
You watch em gettin no sentence

I don’t know, what you did
All I know, you got a right to live

If we don't change the laws of man
All injustice soon demands
Compensation

Watchin Reagan’s war on drugs
Turn to cages made for us
We've lost all patience
These things can't change enough

This is for the saints in the saints in the system
Cryin through the pain that they miss em
Know I’m looking out for ya
I was almost locked down witch ya

This is for the young hood solider
Tryin not to buy what they sold ya
The Trouble with a past mistake
Could get ya Caught up in a nasty way

I don’t know, what you did
Look All I know, you got a right to live

They been tradin ya fate for their corporate ties
They get paid by the chains that claim your rights
They’ve been taking the saints before their time
This system is broken, twisted
It's whole existence lies
