Tricky - Black Steel
I Got A Letter From The Government
The Other Day
I Opened And Read It
It Said They Were Suckers
They Wanted Me For The Army Or Whatever
Picture Me Given' A Damn -- I Said Never
Here Is A Land That Never Gave A Damn
About A Brother Like Me And Myself
Because They Never Did
I Wasn't Wit' It, But Just That Very Minute...
It Occured 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
To Criticize Me Some Crime -- Never The Less
They Could Not Understand That I'm A Black Man
And I Could Never Be A Veteran
On The Strength, The Situation's Unreal
I Got A Raw Deal, Now I'm Lookin For The Steel
(tricky: Many Switch In, Switch On, Switch Off (x5))
Nevertheless They Cannot 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
Lookin For The Steel
