    How much money would you give to live
    Above the law
    How many souls would you sell to dwell
    Above the law
    As long as it’s workin’ in your favor
    You love the law
    Making our lives a livin’ hell
    Above the law

    So now man with pen in his hand
    Changes the lay and the law of the land
    Abe helped out a bit, Martin did what he could
    And it might’ve worked out but evil exists
    As well as good

    Re-invent slavery
    Erase the war on poverty
    Separate primarily by class
    Stealthily, carefuly

    Go ahead and ring that bell
    And open the market
    Do the ones that work the most
    Get to put any money in their pocket?

    How much money would you give to live
    Above the law
    How many souls would you sell to dwell
    Above the law
    As long as it’s workin’ in your favor
    You love the law
    Making our lives a livin’ hell
    Above the law

    So now you say we’re all created equal
    But the sound of the gavel tells quite another sequel
    Black boy on drugs imprisonment, and a heavy fine
    White boy on drugs rehab and treatment to restore his mind

    Re-invent slavery
    Erase the war on poverty
    Separate primarily by class
    Stealthily, carefully

    Go ahead and ring that bell
    And open the market
    Do the ones that work the most
    Get to put any money in their pocket?

    How much money would you give to live
    Above the law
    How many souls would you sell to dwell
    Above the law

    The game is fixed
    Pure poli-tricks
    The game is fixed
    Pure poli-tricks

    Using religion as a deadly weapon
    Dealing with me unrighteously

    How much money would you give to live
    Above the law
    How many souls would you sell to dwell
    Above the law
    As long as it’s workin’ in your favor
    You love the law
    Making our lives a livin’ hell
    Above the law

    We can’t live above the law
    They can’t live above the law
    She can’t feel above the law
    He can’t live above the law
    Tell ’em he can’t live above the law
    I can’t live above the law
    No one can’t live above the law
    She can’t live above the law
    (No one is) No one is above the law
