No longer a slave

They put braces on our ankle,
we try to move and mangle,
a sea of locks unable to untangle,
we are shackled,

Searching for the truth,
it seems so obscure,
no matter how obscure,
it is a powerful cure,
a cure for our insecurities,
the perfect immunity,

The government put a gun to my head,
the government place cement on my legs,
pointed the gun at me and said,
feeling the cold barrel on my forehead,
be a slave or be dead,

So I obey,
whatever they say,
call me a slave,
I just want to live the dream,
they slip me a pill,
put me to sleep,
sedation is an easy way to
prison our will,

But I woke up,
I saw the light and chose to get up,
see money is not evil, nor is it good,
merely a tool,
think of it as a key,
more money more keys,
I'm searching for the door of freedom

Shackles

Legalize it! Legalize it!
They scream as they synthesize it,
see the size of it,
no origins, all hybrid,
they make you fly like a bird,
high, mind twirls,
alpha waves pass you by,
fly, and vibrate in your mind,
our hidden genius that the government
tries to hide,

Education is stronger than prohibition,
giving these drugs to our children,
see coke makes us broke,
heroine destroys our arms and veins,
screaming inside, shouts all in vein,
can't escape, mind and body chained,
raped, trapped and locked,
a museum, drug filled mausoleum,
a prison, no wisdom

Keep them afraid! Keep them in the dark,
revolution lost its spark,
the politicians bark, and hark,
but we still travel through the dark,
through the maze shouting 'I AM not afraid',
through the labyrinth,
the Minotaur exhales a thick mist,
fate blows us a kiss,
the next generation sits and waits,
our freedom, waiting for our great escape
