Three Strikes
California’s shameful legacy holding it’s poor hostage,
Locked in a fascist visegrip without a conscious,
Don’t touch that bread for your hunger may cost you your head,
A caste-like system that would leave confederates in awe and without all the dead.
When stealing a burger gets you more time than a murder,
The public deceived when the vehicles a pervert,
Using Amerikkka’s pass time to steal oppressed lives,
The peoples victory will be triple runs, not flys.
Modern day slavery- a new plantation,
Lady liberty a witness, and our bodies the concession,
500 years of their regurgitated scheme,
Amerikkka’s air-conditioned nightmare was never a dream.
