lirik lagu otis joi – “land of the free”
verse 1:
land of the free
be a black man
get gunned down by the police
lowly you think of me
phoney, covid
better go catch it like a goalie
land of the free
be a white man
pat on the back for a shooting
lack of good treatment if you living in poverty
issue with your mental health
you’re just another looney
klu klux klan beat a mixed man
leave his ass rotting in the water uh
true meaning of freedom gets gritty
can’t believe them
throwing a parade for the manslaughter
the divide betwixt you and i
should not come as surprise
just look me in my eyes
there’s a fire inside from the rioting guys
destruction is divine
i’m running out of time
verse 2:
land of the free is what they tell me
k!lling you in cold blood on your own street
the laws are in line to maintain peace
so why are things always going cack~handedly?
think they are missing the f~cking point
being able to do what you want does not give you right to k!ll a boy
“no justice, no peace”
40 years in the f~cking making
let’s face it
guy in the chair ain’t changing
saying this that and the other
yet still stay complacent
dodging problems like they bullets
neo in the matrix
corruption like this is destined to fail
free mans land
but all the black kids are born in jail
bridge:
mr. floyd you don’t have a choice
we gon’ bring you to the floor and take your voice
mr. floyd you must die in this country
so society can make a point in an uprising of noise
mr. floyd you are just another dead man added to an endless list of injustice that will be marked off as void
mr. floy~~~
outro:
shut the world down
still can’t find my way
it’s a lifelong struggle
that will never decay
my brothers and my sisters
family they all fade
if i step foot on this ground
they might take me away
