What You Have To Say Now

I LAUGH ALL THE TIME
                             I LAUGH WHEN IM MAD
                                                           I LAUGH IN YOUR FACE
YOU HIDE BEHIND RACISIM AND DENIAL
                                                              IM LIVING MY LIFE LIKE IM ON TRIAL
       YOU SAY YOU ARE REAL
                                             I SAID "NO DEAL"
I FIGHT FOR MY FREEDOM
                                               YOU KILL YOUR WIFE
           DONT TELL ME YOUR RIGHT
                                                                 WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR LIVING WRONG
        I SEE THROUGH YOUR BROKEN SPIRIT
                
                                   YOU ARE WHAT THEY WARNED US ABOUT

IGNORANCE ISNT BOUGHT

                                        RELIGION IS SOUGHT
I HUSTLE FOR MY MEALS

                                             YOU MAKE DEALS WITH THE DEVIL

PARDON MY FRENCH 
BUT I DONT SPEAK "CRAP"

                                                                   YOU SAID IT ALL WHEN YOU SWITCHED

IM HERE TO STAY 
                                    YOU RAN AWAY 

                                                                  COUNTING YOUR DAYS TILL THE END
NO FRIENDS IN THIS BUSINESS
THEY ALL TURNED THEIR BACKS

                                                 SELLING THERI STORY TO THE HACKS

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Very interesting piece of writing..the form is very creative and it lends to the confusion or fustration of the voice in the piece...get your Andy Dufresne on my friend..loving it.
