Black Steel - Tricky[00:00:00]
Written by:Carlton Ridenhour/Eric Sadler/James Henry Boxley III[00:00:01]
I got a letter from the government the other day[00:00:20]
Opened and read it it said they were suckers[00:00:22]
They wanted me for their army or whatever[00:00:25]
Picture me giving a damn I said never[00:00:28]
Here is a land that never gave a damn[00:00:31]
About a brother like myself because they never did[00:00:33]
I wasn't with it but just that very minute[00:00:37]
It occurred to me the suckers had authority[00:00:39]
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell how long has it been[00:00:42]
They got me sittin' in the state pen[00:00:46]
I gotta get out but that thought was thought before[00:00:48]
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor[00:00:51]
I'm not a fugitive on the run[00:00:53]
But a brother like me began to be another one[00:00:56]
Public enemy servin' time they drew the line y'all[00:00:59]
They criticize me for some crime[00:01:03]
I got a letter[00:01:16]
I got a letter[00:01:19]
I got a letter[00:01:22]
Picture me giving a damn I said never[00:01:25]
It occurred to me the suckers had authority[00:01:36]
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell how long has it been[00:01:39]
They got me sittin' in the state pen[00:01:42]
I gotta get out but that thought was thought before[00:01:45]
I got a letter from the government the other day[00:01:50]
Opened and read it it said they were suckers[00:01:53]
They wanted me for their army or whatever[00:01:56]
Picture me giving a damn I said never[00:01:58]
Here is a land that never gave a damn[00:02:01]
'Bout a brother like me and myself because they never did[00:02:04]
I wasn't with it but just that very minute[00:02:07]
It occurred to me the suckers had authority[00:02:09]
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell how long has it been[00:02:13]
They got me sittin' in the state pen[00:02:16]
I gotta get out but that thought was thought before[00:02:18]
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor[00:02:21]
I'm not a fugitive on the run[00:02:24]
I'm not a fugitive on the run[00:02:30]
Many switch in[00:02:41]
Switch on switch off[00:02:42]
Many switch in[00:02:44]
Switch on switch off[00:02:45]
Many switch in[00:02:49]
Switch on switch off[00:02:50]
Many switch in[00:02:52]
Switch on switch off[00:02:53]
Many switch in[00:02:55]
Switch on switch off[00:02:56]
Nevertheless they cannot understand that I'm a black man[00:02:58]
And I could never be a veteran[00:03:01]
On the strength the situation's unreal[00:03:03]
I got a raw deal so I'm lookin' for the steel[00:03:06]
Lookin' for the steel[00:03:10]
I got a letter from the government the other day[00:03:15]
Opened and read it it said they were suckers[00:03:18]
They wanted me for their army or whatever[00:03:20]

Here is a land that never gave a damn[00:03:26]
'Bout a brother like me and myself because they never did[00:03:29]
I wasn't with it but just that very minute[00:03:32]
It occurred to me the suckers had authority[00:03:34]
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell how long has it been[00:03:38]

I'm not[00:03:52]
I'm not[00:03:58]
I'm not a fugitive on the run[00:04:01]
