Rage Against the Machine - "Freedom"

The militant poet in once again, check it
It’s set up like a deck of cards
They’re sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds
They’ll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit
More like the murals that fit
Don’t turn away
Get in front of it 

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin’ tic-tac-toe? 

Yo, check the diagonal
Three brothers gone
Come on
Doesn’t that make it three in a row?

Anger is a gift

The fourth and final single from RATM's 1992 self-titled debut LP, "Freedom" is about AIM, but is sadly also relevant today.
