We've got white- collar people
trying to grab our style
Saying we're too nasty and

Freedom of speech will never die
For us to have, our ancestors died
Don't keep thinking that we will quit

who won't take your lip
We're gonna do all the
things we wanna do
You can't stand to see a
E
brother get as rich as you
This is the 90's and

Sayin' things and doin' things that

Wisen up, cause on Election Day

bonded by the First Amendment!
We have the freedom of expression!
We have the freedom of choice!
