Gradea - What Happened (feat. Yves Florent) Lyrics

You hate my bloodline
Wanna pull us over, duckin' one time
Can I see ID?
Accused of being brown
At the wrong place
At the wrong time
Fled from my country
The government is compromised there
Ain't it different here?
You wanna see crime?
Look at your leaders
Look at your laws, look at your jails
Yet, you scream freedom
Look at all the secrets and the poison that you feed us
Look at all the cover-ups
Look at all the greed, what?
We don't have the money to lobby
So our voices ain't heard
Said we doing this, that, and the third
Work our asses off but ain't treated as equal
It actually sounds familiar, man, could this be the sequel?
Or trilogy, you killing me, you telling me
This is the equality the founding fathers had in mind
Mama always told me, actions speak louder than words
But they had slaves, never mind!
What happened to the land of opportunity?
What happened standing side by side?
What happened to the unity?
What happened standing for the right thing?
Regardless of what they do to me
This is what happens
When the few rule the many
And when rules apply to some
And some don't follow any
Won't turn the other cheek
I'll give you what you give me
You piss the people off, they gone wanna get even
I'll tell you one thing, me and my people ain't leaving
What happened to the land of opportunity?
What happened?
What happened?
What happened to the unity?
What happened to the land of opportunity?
What happened?
What happened to the unity?
What happened?
What happened?
What happened?
What happened to the land of opportunity?
What happened to the unity?
What happened to the land of opportunity?
What happened to the unity?
What happened?
What happened?
What happened?
What happened?
