Black steel

Martina :
I got a letter from the government
The other day
Opened it and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me givin´ a damn, I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like myself
Because I never did
I wasn´t wit´ it, but just that very minute...
It occurred to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatin´ as I dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin´ in the state pen
I gotta get out, but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I´m not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun, to be another one
Public enemy servin´ time, they drew the line y´all
They criticize me for some crime

I got a letter, I got a letter, I got a letter
Picture me given´ a damn, I said never
Mmm...mmm...mmm

Tricky :
Many switch in, switch on, switch off X5

Martina :
Nevertheless they could not understand
That I´m a black man, and I could never be a veteran.
On the strength of situations, I´m real.
I got a raw deal, so I´m lookin´ for the steel
Looking for the steel.
