[Verse 2]
ABeen having a Dhard time trying to Eaccept the Dfact
APaying money for Dfour walls leaves the Eslavery inDtact
AAnd a little too Deasy seems just a Elittle too hard toDday
AAnd I'm afraid my Dchildren are going to Ehave to watch the Dworld slip awAayD  E  D

ACosts two dollars a Dminute and additional Echarges to pray to Dgod today
ASee I've been Dlooking for some guidance but the Evoice on the phone ain't got a Ddamn thing to say

[Verse 4]
AI was born a little Dtoo late to see Ethe dream that they Dcalled America
ASee I only want to Dbe a free man but it's Eagainst the law to sleep Don the ground in god's land
