Guilty

[Intro]
The US has the fastest-growing prison population in the world
It's like the real estate boom, haha
Except, of course, the problem with real estate
Eventually, you run out of land;
You never run out of people to put in prison

[Hook: Rodstarz, G1]
(Guilty
Guilty)
The capitalist system of America, (Guilty)
The US Military
¡Asesinos! (Guilty)
The FBI, CIA, ATF, ICE
Homeland Security, and your neighborhood police
(Let's Go!)

[Verse 1: Rodstarz]
They stole three-fourths of Mexico in 1848
Abducted Africans and then sold them as slaves
Genocided and enslaved us, and for that, we give thanks?
Wrote they history books and made themselves great
There's two types of crime, power and survival
Crimes that deal with power are the ones you might not find, though
Looks at the trillions that was stolen from the Wall Street bailouts
And Mumia still stuck in the jailhouse
They sick, they killed little Aiyana Jones
She was seven years old
Man the story gets old
Look at the wars, look at colonialism
Look at the trade agreements, and the profits from they prisons
We know the aggressor, they train them in Georgia
At the School of the Americas, where they teach torture
My father is a survivor, he talks about it often
Thousands disappeared, no funeral, no coffin
And I can't harm them without the charge of terrorism
But they the terrorists, I charge they whole system
From the filthy politicians to the lying professor
Guilty as charged, we convict the oppressors

[Hook]
We plead our case, they (Guilty)
To the crooks, throw them the book, they (Guilty)
In the Court of the People, we deem them (Guilty)
Pay they debts to society, return what they been robbin'
To the racists hating ethnic studies, (Guilty)
To the rich cutting school funding, (Guilty)
To the bosses denying us the right to unionize, (Guilty)
We say they are

[Verse 2: G1]
Guilty as charged
No immunity clause, no impunity, naw
Put 'em behind bars
Get 'em all
The killer cops
The gentrifiers on the block
CIA, Black Ops
Undercover, overseas, and on your corner
At the border, Big Brother tryna control us
Hold up, what is we facin', guilty by association
That's how they profile racially
Slavery been abolished, that's common knowledge
'Cept they put a clause in; see, it's legal if you locked in
To keep making profits, they keep wages low
By keepin' a sector of society out of work
Unemployed roam the streets
Precincts deployed, more police
Capture and contain, ain't much change
Racist capitalists aim to keep us in chains

[Outro]
I rest my case, they (Guilty)
To the crooks, throw them the book, they (Guilty)
In the Court of the People, we deem them (Guilty)
Pay they debts to society, return what they been robbin'
