LYRICS:

They say that equality is for everyone...

black and white, rich and poor, male and female- yeah!

Bullshit and you can fuck that American dream

Living in America I know what it means,

To be on welfare have no healthcare

Walk down the street and be scared

And unprepared for a system that's built on hate

And gives permission to rape

Discriminates against color while it wrecks

And dis-respects my sex

I ain't down!

Down for the system

That's why I resist them

Lied to and betrayed

Mother fuck the establishment and all that it stands for

Censor and dismiss the media and demands for

Sexual commodities equality void

With anorexic images of bodies destroyed

From diets to pills to throwing up till it kills

Continual false definition of what sells

Ten pounds thinner a Miss America winner

But I ain't down

You can keep your mother fucking crown!

Not down for the system

That's why I resist them

Lied to and betrayed

You've got to raise the critical questions

About their intentions

That you were taught to believe

Taking it from the system that's set up to deceive

Based on lies that were taught to you in school

History's been polluted

They're treating you like a...fool

If you think that they're playing it straight today

It's up to you to find out and make it your own way

Don't buy the lies they try to disguise

You say you wanna be down

You gotta tear it down!

So you say that you're politically minded

But you stay blinded

Lookin for the truth

Eyes closed, you can't find it

They keep decieving it

We keep believin it

But the way i'm seein it

Here's how i'm feelin it...

At 10...you suck at 9...you're fucked

At 8... you're a sucker at 7... a motherfucker

At 6...you're jacked at 5...you're straight wack

At 4 ...your a clown all the way to 1 and we're done.

Are ya down?

All Is Not Well
